Jo Buick is an educator, strategist, and founder working at the intersections of trauma-informed practice, systems, and care.

Systems change begins with our nervous systems.

Sustainable systems change requires more than good policy. Jo supports organisations and communities to build resilience, connection, and capacity through trauma-informed trainings, workplace wellbeing programs, and embodied systems change processes.

  • “This was the best session I have been present in for years and there have been some fabulous presenters. Something was very soulful about her. I loved every minute… I shut down Teams/Inbox etc and never have done so in [my work] environment where I am unable to focus on one thing as there is so much going on - I was 100% present and so very grateful for today, thank you.”

    —Good Shepherd Australia & New Zealand Team Manager, Workplace Wellbeing Program

  • "I absolutely loved every part of the training. I felt safe and seen. I thoroughly enjoyed the generosity of resources so abundantly shared. Jo's facilitator approach was so warm and gentle, yet still drew your attention and exuded confidence."
