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

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.
