Body Awareness Yoga (BAY)
BAY is invitational, involves no holds or assists and is personally adaptable to become your Yoga practice. BAY is designed to support:
gently moving from body disconnection to connection (increasing proprioception & interoception)
attuning to body needs and choices
accessing abilities for self regulation
improving sleep quality
connecting with our common humanity
Facilitators: Erica Chadwick & Sandra Roersma
Erica (PhD, Clinical Psychologist) has intermittently practiced yoga since 1989 and founded the Rotorua BAY class in 2019. She draws from foundational training in Hatha, Hridaya, and Yin Yoga to guide the class. The focus is on creating space for inner sensing (i.e., interoception) and nervous system regulation.
Sandra (Counsellor & EMDR Therapist) facilitates client support and access to the Rotorua BAY group classes.

Rotorua:
EMDR Group
This EMDR group is for adult women (18+) in Rotorua. Over three weekly sessions, participants are guided through a structured trauma-processing experience that doesn’t require sharing personal trauma stories out loud. Using evidence-based EMDR techniques—including grounding, bilateral stimulation, and creative future-mapping—this group supports emotional regulation, connection, and renewed self-trust. It’s a steady, contained space where healing can move forward, together. Come as you are—no fixing, just resourcing, processing, and reclaiming what’s already yours.
Facilitators: Erica Chadwick & Sandra Roersma
Erica is a clinical psychologist and EMDR Therapist / Facilitator with extensive experience in trauma-focused group work. She blends structured EMDR protocols with body-based approaches to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Sandra is a counsellor and EMDR practitioner with over a decade of experience supporting survivors of sexual violence.
Together, they offer a grounded, culturally responsive group experience with warmth, precision, and care.
