EMBODIED CARING
with Anna Bovo
For an embodied and trauma-informed healthcare
How do we build sustainable, humane practices in the nursing and healthcare profession?
How do we foster resiliency in staff and improve standards of care
so that the effects of secondary trauma are acknowledged, addressed and no longer inevitable?
Collective change is possible!
Healthcare Consultancy
I work as a consultant for the healthcare industry and NHS boards, helping to transform workplace culture into one that is embodied, trauma-informed, and psychologically safe for both staff and patients.
​​For organizations:
I offer transformative consultancy for healthcare environments — from hospital wards to wider organisational systems. My work supports both frontline staff and senior leaders in creating cultures that are embodied, trauma-informed, and psychologically safe. I begin by working closely with directors, managers, and senior leaders to understand the specific needs, challenges, and culture of your context. From there, I design a tailored plan that may include reflective/embodied practice spaces and workshops, staff training, leadership coaching, and embodied input into service development. Grounded in nervous system awareness and somatic understanding, my approach invites meaningful, systemic change that prioritises well-being, emotional resilience, and compassionate care for both staff and patients.
