Hi, my name is Pippa and I am a somatic therapist and educator from the UK using the power of the Triple Vagal Method™ to help regulate nervous systems and heal trauma all over the world.
They say that we grow up to be the hero our inner child needed and in my case that’s definitely true. I had a difficult childhood after losing my father at a young age and in finding my way through the grief, I felt called to use the skills and experience I developed on my healing journey to help others. My own pain awakened deep empathy and a calling to turn it into purpose.
Through my work in mental health and social work back home in London, I realised the many ways in which trauma shows up in our thoughts, behaviours and patterns and the deep longing each of us has to feel seen, heard, believed, safe, connected, supported and loved, regardless of background or experiences. I wondered why so many of us struggle for years to get to the root of our issues, not knowing what the missing piece is to move through trauma and live to our fullest potential.
I took the decision to travel to Mexico on my own journey of healing, expansion and self-discovery. When I first received a TVM™ session in the mountains of Oaxaca I instantly felt my whole body light up as it was finally being seen, met and understood. This soon led to me training to become an Advanced TVM™ Practitioner & Educator, having now completed over 500 hours of training with Dr. Maj and facilitated numerous containers. I bring my passion for study, a curious mind and a holistic approach to science and spirituality to my teaching, along with a deep presence and recognition of the inner child within us all to hold you through the growth moments of the container.
It’s been my greatest joy to guide myself back to nervous system regulation through TVM™: following the wisdom within, coming home to my body and stepping into my power to heal myself and others. So many patterns of thought, belief, behaviour all fall away when we remove the foundation of insecurity they are based on and replace it with a knowing that any want or need you might ever have is yours for the taking.
Working in tandem with the infinite intelligence and creative healing capacity of the body, I now live in deep trust and connection with the universe and its limitless potential.
I discovered the missing piece of the puzzle to truly healing from trauma with TVM™ somatic therapy and I'm honoured to be offering this medicine to help others heal as well.
I don’t believe in coincidences - if you’ve made it this far to discover TVM™, you’re on the right path to healing. You deserve to experience the full beauty of life with a regulated nervous system and thriving physical, mental and spiritual health! I can't wait to meet you!
MADISON BROWN
I've always been deeply fascinated by the human mind and how it functions, and after studying psychology and embarking on an eight-year self-study journey, I've found both what I was looking for and so much more than I could have ever dreamed.
A mind that no longer governs me, a body to which I am intuitively attached, an endless love for life, a nourishing love for myself, and an abundance and fulfilment in each blessing of each moment. My awareness, clarity, focus, and motivation are all rapidly increasing, I'm better equipped to realise my objectives and dreams every day, and my relationships and intimacy with life are fulfilling and priceless. My enthusiasm and excitement flow out from me, and when my emotions wash through me like clouds, I am in complete control of how I respond. My mind no longer attacks me with the kinds of stories it formerly did. I am deeply grateful for life and everything it has to offer; I now understand my purpose and am living my best life.
I have reached a spacious place within myself with a magnificent tool belt of gifts to share with others as a ceremony facilitator, reiki master, and student of yoga, meditation, and trauma therapy. I had a deep calling to learn TVM™, which I listened to instinctively and followed. Ever since, everything has been clear to me. The best present I could have given myself was a calm nervous system, which I can now graciously share in co-regulating with others. Practicing TVM™ is like returning to your true self.
I share this technique because it helped me so much and I want to provide it to everyone because we all deserve it. If you choose to take this next step, I'm here to listen, offer any advice, and help you out along the way that I can. Blessings for the journey ahead.
MAJ ZAKARI
Maj is the founder & director of the Integrated Somatic Institute and the intellectual developer & owner of the Triple Vagal Method (TVM™). She is a highly compassionate therapist and international educator in the fields of Psychosomatics and Healing.
Her main passion has always been to find a way to effectively heal her own traumas, alongside her clients'. She had suffered with CPTSD, depression and other personal crisis like a failed first marriage and seeing her two children (Jacob & Jenna) suffer due to inheriting generational trauma. This made her passionate about dedicating her life to the path of true and sustainable trauma healing. The desire to feel true liberation & inner peace inspired her to fuse Eastern holistic modalities with neuroscientific theory & bottom-up psychology. As a result of extensive studies, countless trainings and years of practice in her therapy centre, the Triple Vagal Method™ was born.
In her teaching and counselling, she integrates over 20 years of experience in psychology, spiritual practices, leading healing & educational trainings and retreats into a powerful cauldron for rapid transformation.
Her mode of delivery combines humour & lightheartedness to easily shift the harder blocks smoothly. She consistently gets 5 out of 5 star reviews in her trainings feedback.
Maj will be delivering the online learning programme element of the course and will call in for Q&A sessions during the in-person retreat.
