The Triple Vagal Method™: A Ground-Breaking Healing Modality
Trauma, whether experienced physically or emotionally, has a profound impact on the physical body.
Not many people know that trauma is stored within the fascia, the intricate network of connective tissue in the body. That’s where the key to healing lies.
TVM™, developed after years of applied research and practice, works by activating the vagus nerve and helping the body release stored tension by creating an embodied sense of safety. It also increases oxytocin levels in the body, which soothes and restores the nervous system back to safety.
The process allows the body to "switch off" stress responses and complete unresolved trauma cycles, which leads to a lasting change on a cellular level and a profound regulation of the nervous system.

This 4 month training is made up of a self-paced online learning programme plus a 2 week in-person retreat to consolidate the skills you’ve learned and give an embodied understanding of the modality.
The hundreds of qualified Triple Vagal Method ™ Practitioners that are changing lives all around the world are proof that you don’t have to be in therapy for years to heal and that you can activate your healing capacity and become a somatic therapist with the Triple Vagal Method™ in a matter of weeks.
Part 1: Fundamentals of TVM™ Online Course
The initial phase of the Triple Vagal Method™ online training introduces you to the theoretical foundations of somatics, working with the nervous system, and bottom-up trauma healing.
Ahead of the in-person retreat, you will need to complete just the first two modules of the online training.
Delivered through a user-friendly platform, this phase provides essential knowledge to support TVM™ Somatic Therapy, laying the theoretical groundwork for later hands-on practice. The learning platform remains accessible for one year, allowing participants to complete the course at their own pace and return to materials as needed.
- Module 1: Introduction
- Module 2: Somatics & Polyvagal Theory
- Module 3: The Human Body
- Module 4: TVM™ Applications
- Module 5: Psychology of Trauma & Behavior
- Module 6: Biohacking & Setting Up a Therapeutic Practice
Part 2: IN-PERSON TRAINING RETREAT
Part II is a two-week in-person training retreat focused on personal and professional transformation.
Each day of the Inner Alchemy Retreat you’ll have the chance to give and receive TVM™ under the guidance and mentorship of Maddie and Pippa, giving you an embodied understanding of the modality and the confidence to go out and offer healing sessions to paying clients.
A mixture of classes, discussions, demonstrations, guided exercises and hands-on practice time are intentionally curated to build on each other and bring profound holistic healing on every level.
Retreat group sizes are intentionally kept intimate to allow you to forge the trusted relationships to go deep with the individual and collective work.
Part 3: Post-Retreat Integration & mentorship support
The support doesn't finish at the end of the retreat. There will be fortnightly cohort check-in and integration calls for the 3 months post-retreat, giving you the chance to have any questions answered and feel the support of your facilitators and fellow trainees well into your post-retreat personal and professional development journey.
This last part of the curriculum focuses on refining and consolidating the skills learned throughout the training, both online & at the retreat centre. You will be taken through our Inner Alchemy Mentorship Program, empowering you to continue your journey of self-exploration and set yourself up to step into your new role as a somatic therapist and TVM™ Practitioner.
This phase empowers graduates to confidently begin their journey as compassionate TVM™ Somatic Therapists.
Hear From Our Graduates
"This journey here at this beautiful retreat centre in Spain has been very transformational and deep for me. Much deeper than I expected.
Because this container was so safe and I felt super good with the group and also with Pip and Maddie holding the space in such a loving way, I was able to go into some memories in my teenage years that were so painful I couldn't look at it before.
This container gave me the space to go into it and hold myself with so much compassion and to heal these years. It feels like such a big relief and what I've gained from it is firstly, much more spaciousness in my body.
I feel freer to move and to go out into the world to share my medicine and what I want to express.
I came here with quite some stomach pain and digestive issues - I feel very good in my stomach right now, my skin is clearing up. Some anger that was stuck in my body I could finally express and face, I also feel more clarity of what I want in life; to follow this longing to open up my heart and feel safe in connection with others and in my relationships."
- Mara, Germany
"The training with TVM™ has been an eye-opening experience for me. I am more confident and relaxed about my life path and my purpose has become more clear since taking part in this training.
I highly recommend doing this in person because healing your traumas from your childhood and your ancestors while learning how to practice this amazing healing modality with supervision is so rewarding! Being able to receive this therapy on consecutive days to really grasp its potential is the best part.
Also, I have to mention, the beautiful container that Maddie and Pippa created helped a lot to feel safe and grounded. They held a safe and comfortable space for us to freely share and feel secure. They complement each other beautifully as they come from different backgrounds.
TVM™ has given me some major insights and epiphanies. It was the puzzle piece that was missing to what I already knew for my mission."
- Sophie, UK
"The container felt incredibly safe and loving which is so crucial for this type of work because you go to deep layers of trauma. It's very important in those moments to feel like you are held and that it is safe for you to explore those inner landscapes.
It was a beautiful journey. I think Pippa and Maddie are incredible teachers.
They bridge the spiritual and the scientific so you get the best of both worlds and you learn a practice that in my opinion is going to create a revolution in the healing world."
- Marie, France
