Somatic Trauma Healing: Blueprint Resonance
Anna Chitty
I completed one full Somatic Experiencing Training in 2016, and then I took Blueprint Resonance with Anna Chitty, which I found a much better fit for me in every way. I have taken this course three times, one of those times as an assistant, and I would gladly take it again. This course is different than any other trauma course I have taken, not only for its somatic approaches, but also for identifying that our greater and essential human qualities, like compassion, joy, strength, lie in our bodies and make up what Anny Chitty calls our Blueprint. Earliest traumas lie right next to these essential human qualities, and it is a best practice to integrate these traumatic experiences in babies and their families as soon as possible.
My work uses the framework presented by John and Anna Chitty: 5 Practitioner Skills and their approach to the Social Nervous System and the Window of Presence. John was my primary mentor from 2013-2020, when he died from cancer. I then have studied with Anna from 2019 until present. Their work is steeped in an awareness of the autonomic nervous system, consciousness, somatic trauma resolution, fluid tides and field theory. They taught Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Polarity for decades. Anna Chitty still teaches and blend of these two therapies with her daughter, Liz Sandoval at their school, Colorado School of Energy Studies. Anna has condensed her 50 years of healing work, including the Diamond Approach, Zen Buddhism, Biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Polarity therapy, and prenatal and perinatal somatics into the Blueprint Resonance course.
Session work includes somatic inquiry into the intention of the client to integrate the challenges (or the imprints) into the exiting health, or the Blueprint. I utilize this approach and combine with touch therapies for in person sessions, and I employ this approach when working online with clients from around the world.

The Wound is the Way, Not the Destination (Anna Chitty)
Over many years of working with energy medicine, somatics and trauma, Anna developed a way of working somatically to transform wounds into portals that, when worked with care, can integrate and allow our more essential qualities to rise. The work itself is an amazing blend that turns on the quality of presence in the practitioner.
