Trauma Mama Yoga Retreat

WHO WE ARE

Our Trauma Mama stories began years ago when our little girl worlds were rocked with trauma; parental death, sibling death, molestation, and other abuse. Through divine journeys of healing we three women have come to believe one of the greatest gifts we can give the world is to facilitate healing and a restoration. We have created a retreat for women just like us. Women who have survived trauma, are raising kids with trauma, or working with children recovering from trauma. We are three Christian sister’s who believe that trauma can be healed when we nurture our bodies, minds, and spirits. We are the Trauma Mama’s and we know what it feels like to be so tired, so scattered, and so undone by interfacing with trauma that you feel inside out and empty. We have created a weekend for engaging in the therapeutic work of reconnecting your body, mind, and spirit. The retreat we have designed will help calm your mind, nourish your body, and restore your spirit.

TRAUMA MAMA MOUNTAIN YOGA RETREAT

Our Trauma Mama Mountain Yoga Retreat is led by Trauma Informed Therapeutic Yoga Instructor, Becka Perfitt, owner of Divine Growth Yoga Therapy of Billings, MT. Becka has been practicing Yoga for 7 years and has personally experienced the healing impact of Trauma Informed Yoga in her own body as well as with her adopted children who both suffer from trauma , autism, sensory processing disorders.

Becka’s specialty is facilitating the healing effects of yoga on traumatized individuals and increasing connection in families who are affected by trauma. She leads in home family sessions and is helping families connect and heal across Yellowstone County. Becka’s Therapeutic Yoga Style is gentle, lighthearted and encouraging. Her poses are appropriate for every level of practitioner. You’ll find Becka’s style accessible and validating. Here is what her growing list of client’s who have to say about her: Rebecka is incredibly attentive and compassionate. She spent time visiting with me about my needs and what I had hoped to get out of our session. She ensured I was comfortable and that I felt safe, as someone with anxiety this is major for me. She is truly a calm and grounding yoga instructor and I can't wait to meet with her again. I'd highly recommend her to anyone on their healing journey.

I am a mother of 9 and having services in my home is HUGE for me. Rebecka came over yesterday to work with my family for the first time, it was complete chaos(my life)! All of my kiddos have experienced some kind of trauma in their life, have anxiety/spd/hard time regulating etc, Rebecca was AMAZING. I felt calm and collected by mid way of our session, she gave me tools to use in our daily life, my kiddos continued what we learned through out our day. I can't wait for our weekly visits❤

Becka has been working with my family for several sessions now and I have personally experienced a marked improvement in my emotional access and in my most anxious child's ability to find calm. Can't wait to see how our family continues to heal.

Rebecka Perfitt came to my house to train us on some yoga techniques for anxiety. My husband, daughter (Age 11), and I all participated. She talked to us about our goals and what we knew about yoga poses. As we did the session, she periodically stopped to talk us through correct breathing and how to position ourselves. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and applied some of the breathing techniques during our travels. We will continue to practice the ocean breathing.

Our Family, Has had a year of heartache their dad has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. There is six children, five have been adopted through foster care. 2 have sensory processing disorder, one has development delay, 2 have RAD. And last one stress, anxiety, grief, fear.

For this family I did breathing with bubbles, tense and release, sun salutation A. For Final relaxation we sat in a family circle and each person took turns trying to control the bubbles in the air with breath.

:...my kids have always loved yoga, but today they got to experience it from a new angle...

...my friend & fellow foster/adoptive momma is taking this broken system & changing it one child & one family at a time...

...Rebecka is certified instructor but also certified in trauma informed yoga...this is needed & wanted & valued in the foster/adoptive world... can you imagine my RAD, anxious & ADHD kiddos being able to self regulate?... what a gift...

...today was already a blessing...we breathed through a stressful day with less meltdowns...
