The Skillful Mama

A gentle seminar supporting women to feel steadier, safer, and more connected after domestic or systemic violence.

Tulsi Wellness

Have you noticed that even though the danger has passed, your body hasn’t quite caught up? You might be functioning well on the outside - caring for others, getting through the day, doing what needs to be done, yet inside you still feel tense. Alert. Exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fully resolve. This is a common response after domestic or systemic violence. It does not mean you are broken, weak, or failing to “move on.” When someone has lived in prolonged stress, control, or threat, the nervous system learns to stay on guard. Learning how to feel steady again is not about pushing harder, it’s about creating the right conditions for safety to return. Reclaiming Yourself After Domestic Violence is a gentle seminar is designed to support women in reconnecting with themselves at their own pace, without pressure and without having to explain their story.This seminar is for you if: You feel constantly on edge, even when life seems calmer now. You notice fatigue, hyper-vigilance, or emotional numbness that rest doesn’t fix. You’ve done “the right things” but still don’t feel settled in your body. You want tools that help you feel safer within yourself, not strategies that push you beyond your limits. This is a quiet, respectful space where your nervous system is given permission to soften. By the end of the seminar, many women leave feeling: More settled and present in their body Reassured that their responses make sense Better equipped to regulate stress when it arises More connected to themselves, with a renewed sense of gentleness and self-trust This is about returning to the parts of you that were interrupted by survival.The seminar is facilitated by Brittni Akom, founder of The Skillful Mama, whose work centres on supporting women and families through trauma-informed, practical, and compassionate approaches. 📍 Location: Tulsi Wellness, Langwarrin🗓 Date: Sunday 1 February⏰ Time: 11:00am – 1:00pm Places are limited to maintain a small, calm, and supportive environment.
