Look after the people who look after everyone else

Burnout and poor retention often start with what your people are quietly carrying home. Trauma-informed training for social work, education and care teams gives staff and carers a shared language for the weight of the work, and practical tools they can use the same day. Results are measured, with a summary report for your service.

I'm ready for what's next

When your life and work finally match what you want

You've done the work, built the business, helped the clients. Yet somewhere a pattern keeps pulling you away from the life you really want. Work with me one-to-one to understand the Mask behind it and move into alignment with your dreams, or train to bring the Masks into your own practice.

What kinship carers say

"This course should be mandatory."

It's what kinship carers say most often about Conscious Carers, now Your Conscious Journey for Kinship Carers. 60 Fife carers have taken part across 8 courses.

26% average rise in wellbeing scores for Fife kinship carers on Conscious Carers, after just two days Measured on the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS)
"I have never witnessed carers being so open about their feelings or growing so quickly. After the training, they were more confident, less stressed, and better equipped to handle the challenges of their roles."
Louise Lamont, Senior Practitioner, Kinship Care
"I was loud and outspoken, and found my behaviours were my own trauma. Using Candice's techniques and working on myself, I am a calmer person and am finding my way in life after years of pain and frustration."
Kinship carer, Fife
"The Conscious Carers training has given me new skills to truly look at myself and any trauma I have had throughout life. It has helped me understand how I respond to situations, and how I can do this differently while looking after me."

Meet Candice

From the outside, it all looked like success

I've spoken to rooms of more than 100 people, run seminars, and delivered trainings and workshops internationally. I've trained hundreds of practitioners across 40 countries, and had six-figure years and £30K months. And still, something kept stopping my business from flowing.

It took some deep exploring to see it. My Seeker Mask switched on every time success got close, because success didn't feel safe.

Understanding it in my head was never enough. What changed everything was working from the bottom up, through the nervous system, and that is where the Survival Masks were born. Now I work from a grounded place, with more fun and colour in my life, and success feels safe to receive.

My roots are in residential childcare and family support, working alongside social work, housing and education. Today I'm a trainer and methodologist, helping others make the same shift in their work, their business and their relationships.

For organisations

Most trauma training is about the people you support. This is about the people doing the supporting.

Your staff and carers may know everything about trauma and how it affects the children and families they work with. Very few have had the chance to understand their own: how it shapes the way they respond under pressure, and how it quietly affects their career, their relationships and their wellbeing.

When they understand their own Survival Masks, they stay steadier under pressure, make clearer decisions and stay in the work.

One-to-one with Candice · Survival Masks Practitioner Training

Understand the Mask first. Then release it.

For years I trained people in methods that worked beautifully in the session. Then I'd watch the same patterns turn up again a few weeks later, in a slightly different shape. After training thousands of practitioners in 40 countries, this is the order that makes the change hold.

  • Why you do what you do, and why they do too
  • How to release a Mask's hold, gently, through the body
  • The RECLAIM process, my body-led practitioner method
  • Trauma-informed practice, the inner child and the nervous system
"When Candice asked what colour I was feeling, I said a deep, dark red. The colour I feel now is a bright pink."
Debra K, business owner
