Grounded Resilience Workshops
Practical, trauma-informed sessions for teams operating under sustained pressure
When pressure rises, most teams don't need more motivation. They need more capacity.
The Grounded Leadership Method applied at a team level helps teams stay clear, connected, and effective — especially when work is fast, complex, and emotionally demanding.
This isn't surface-level wellbeing, and it isn't a one-off ‘“feel good” talk.
It's a grounded, embodied approach that helps teams work with stress intelligently, communicate more cleanly, and prevent burnout patterns from becoming culture.
“Jessica’s sessions were grounding and deeply nourishing. She has a natural way of holding space that makes you feel present, and her guidance helped me connect more deeply with my body and breath.”
Why this is useful:
These sessions are for teams who look like they're functioning — but the hidden cost of stress is rising.
Pace is increasing (often with fewer recovery windows)
Misunderstandings and friction are building
Boundaries are getting blurred; people are always "on"
Key people are carrying too much — quietly
You can feel morale, energy, or trust starting to erode
Sick leave requests are steadily increasing
With AI accelerating pace and complexity across organisations, this is becoming the norm. Teams need tools that work under real demand — not just in theory.
What will change:
After a Grounded Resilience Workshop, teams typically experience:
A shared language for stress and pressure (less blame, more clarity)
Better regulation in charged moments (fewer reactive spirals)
Cleaner boundaries and workload conversations
Stronger trust and communication — especially across difference
More sustainable performance (less burnout leakage into culture)
Less time off sick
For example: Instead of miscommunication spiraling into resentment over days, the team knows how to pause, regulate, and address it directly. Instead of one person quietly carrying everything, workload gets redistributed before burnout hits.
This is resilience that protects people and protects the work.
How I work with teams
I apply The Grounded Leadership Method to team dynamics. This work is trauma-informed: paced, consent-led, and designed to be effective without pushing people beyond what's appropriate in a workplace setting.
-
Simple body-based tools that help people reset quickly and stay present — in meetings, conflict, and decision pressure.
-
Teams learn to recognise the "stress roles" that show up under pressure (over-functioning, conflict avoidance, control, shutdown) — and practice responding differently in the moment.
-
Clear tools for stress management, boundaries, and building resilience.

Outcome: more trust, clearer communication, less pressure leakage
Full-day in-person workshop
A complete team reset: regulation + patterns + practical tools — plus a plan to sustain the shift.

Organisations who want performance without burnout becoming the price
I bring over a decade of experience leading teams in high-stakes humanitarian contexts — where uncertainty is constant and decisions have real consequences — combined with a trauma-informed, embodied approach to leadership and resilience.
My work bridges the real-world demands of leadership with the internal capacity required to meet them — calmly, ethically, and sustainably.
If you're considering a team session, the next step is a short conversation. We'll discuss what your team is navigating, what's currently costing you, and what kind of workshop format would serve best.
