Enhanced Resilience Training at Pend D’Oreille River Ranch

Enhanced Resilience Training

“The Power to Write Your Next Chapter”

Enhanced Resilience Training is a unique approach that combines the latest scientific understanding of trauma and our nervous system.  It offers a dynamic mind/body approach to “re-program” the nervous system. 

ERT prescribes the ideal mix of physical activities and theory training to target all key factors of trauma's impact on the nervous system and guides individuals back into alignment (healthy social engagement).

This program is for you if you:

•Wish to learn essential basic self-defence skills to protect yourself

•Are experiencing symptoms like anxiety, depression, lack of sleep or appetite etc.

•Wish to increase your own personal resilience and empowerment

•Have a heart and passion for helping others and may consider seeking ERT certification in the future.

•Are a practitioner, teacher or therapist and wish to increase your knowledge of Polyvagal theory and your understanding of how trauma affects the body & nervous system.

•Want to gain new insight and experience in how this specialized training holds the key to resetting the nervous system after trauma.

"It is good to have a blueprint for humanity and a language for it, BUT it is insightful interventions like your Enhanced Resilience Training that really grasp onto the basic principles of what it means to be human and gives us rehabilitation strategies that are very consistent with what our nervous system is really desiring.” 

– Dr. Stephen Porges

“The secret that you have found through your training in martial arts is what you give the individual, empowering the person with a focused activity. Being a defensive martial art helps change their narrative so now in their mind they not only have the agency to move, they have the agency to protect themselves, so it's like you are giving them a story they can use.”
