Episode 46 - Nadia Nauss: Q&A Trauma Informed Coach & Embodiment Practitioner

Welcome back to the Australian Adoption Podcast with Nadia Levett. I’m really glad you’re listening to this episode today.

 I met today’s guest, Nadia Nauss, on a retreat last year. 

We didn’t actually get to talk much about her work at the time - which is partly why I’ve been so curious to bring her onto the podcast. Because even without knowing the details, I had this sense that what she does sits right in the centre of so many conversations we have here: trauma, the body, safety, connection, and the long, slow work of coming home to yourself.

Nadia is an adoptee and a trauma‑informed coach and embodiment practitioner. She works with the nervous system, somatic awareness, relational safety — all the things that feel deeply relevant for adoptees or foster‑care experiences, those who carry early attachment wounds, preverbal trauma and for carers and adoptive parents wanting to know that this type of work exists as a healing option for their loved ones growing into adulthood. 

So today’s interview is a Q&A style and is spread over 2 episodes ranging from wanting to understand more about her approach, and how it might support people who’ve spent a lifetime navigating disconnection, hyper‑vigilance, or feeling slightly out of sync with themselves.

So I’m really looking forward to tune into this conversation, just bearing in mind that there was a fan on during this interview so there will be a blowing noise every few seconds that we couldn’t filter out. 

So sorry about that!

Alright So lets go. :)
