Note: we have changed the dates of this training to April 3-4 to avoid holiday conflicts. Sorry for any inconvenience!
There are so many offerings out there to help people calm down.
But so many people in today’s world are shut down, frozen, overwhelmed, and disassociated.
These folks don’t need to calm down.
They need to safely upregulate first.
Embodied Trauma-Informed Facilitator Training
We are coming to Bozeman Fri- Sat, 3rd and 4th!
How do we best support individuals who go into chronic shutdown?
What do we do if a client gets overwhelmed and becomes nonverbal?
How do we support people who must remain shut down in order to be safe?
With so much of wellness culture focusing on downregulating, we often miss a crucial path for healing : safe upregulation.
This training primarily focuses on identifying ways for shut down and frozen nervous systems to safely climb their way back up to feeling safe and able to connect.
This offering is open to ANYONE and is designed for those who work with others: including mental health therapists, physical therapists, and movement teachers.
“As a mental health therapist, I can say that JoJo offers a wide range of tools to use personally and with your clients in therapy. I regularly use the tools in sessions and for a personal nervous system reset. JoJo is very clear and knowledgable and you will walk away feeling engaged in the work you do to support others. " -Amy Friedman, LMFT
“As a mental health counselor, I highly recommend this training for any practitioner in the helping/healing role. It gave me valuable knowledge and experience I wish I knew sooner, for my clients and myself!” - Jess Conner, LCPC

Meet your Facilitators
JoJo Phoenix Frank (they/them)
This training was created by JoJo Phoenix Frank and has been offered by them in both Bozeman and Missoula . They are grateful to be bringing Dagny Deutchman as a co-facilitator for the first time in this training!
JoJo Phoenix has been studying Polyvagal Theory for over ten years and has trained over 600 people in trauma-informed embodiment facilitation. Their main Polyvagal teachers are Deb Dana, Saj Ravzi, and Stanley Rosenberg.
Their facilitation and leadership values are most influenced by their previous work as Program Director and Lead Trainer for Yoga Behind Bars, where they led thousands of hours of programming in incarceration settings and collaborated with a diverse team of trainers to deliver trauma-informed facilitation trainings across the country.
The tools JoJo shares in their trainings have been practiced and developed with incarcerated veterans, groups of youth in juvenile detention, 1-1 private clients, contact improvisation students, and by JoJo in their personal life.
They currently work with clients doing consent, somatics, and platonic touch therapy and specialize in working with clients with touch-related trauma, those who are touch deprived. and those have who are highly physiologically sensitive. You can learn more about their 1-1 work here.
Dagny Deutchman (she/they)
Dagny has a Masters of Science in Psychology where they studied in a pod of scientists conducting research around biomedical markers of stress.
While Dagny’s emphasis was looking granularly at how mindfulness, self-compassion and sleep all relate with the stress-response and health systems independently, interpersonally, and communally—they became much more fascinated with communicating the body of stress and health science clearly and practically for people to improve their daily lives.
Dagny’s facilitation style is influenced by both evidence-based theory as well as the practice of being an everyday human. Their biggest influences in group-work and facilitation include their 15+ year career as a backcountry whitewater guide on traditional Shoshone Bannock Lands, their 20+ years of experience as a movement instructor, and their 10+ years studying and teaching about the human stress response system, and their continued devotion to long-form silent meditation retreats. They are NARM trauma-informed and are constantly refining their nervous system skills by being a regular daughter, teacher, and friend.
Polyvagal Theory has been an instrumental tool in their personal and professional life and they love nothing more than teaching and exploring it with others.
Dagny is also the owner and founder of The Art of Rest. You can find more about working with them here.
