Trauma Sensitivity Training for Spa and Salon Professionals in Edmonton

Each day, individuals enter your space carrying more than just appointments. They bring complex life experiences, including trauma, anxiety, chronic pain or sensory sensitivities. Whether it is a facial, a haircut, a wax or a scalp massage, any form of touch can unintentionally activate discomfort or distress for someone with a heightened nervous system.

This training is designed to help you offer care that is not only skillful but also sensitive to the invisible stories held in the body. 

When your practice is trauma-informed, the client experience becomes one of safety, trust and comfort.

As a professional, you feel better equipped to navigate diverse needs with confidence and care.

Why Trauma Sensitive Practice Matters

Build Client Trust, Improve Retention, Empower Your Team

In a trauma-informed salon or spa, client-centred care transforms the experience. Clients feel respected, understood and more likely to return. Not just for results but for how they are treated.

For professionals, this training offers more than new tools. It creates a greater sense of calm, clarity and purpose in your work. 

You will learn how to apply mental health first aid, refine salon safety protocols, and make simple changes that reduce harm and increase healing.

This is about care that truly considers the whole person.
When your touch meets sensitivity, it transforms more than just the surface.
