Resonant Healing Language

Weekend workshop

12th - 13th September 2026

Expanding on NVC with 8 further right-brain languages from Sarah Peyton’s neuroscience work. We will explore and deepen self-compassion & healing through body sensations, metaphors, and more.

A body-based, language-informed approach to emotional and nervous system repair.

We will be exploring the power of Resonance and language. This work is inspired by the teachings of Sarah Peyton CNVC Trainer, the developer of Resonant Healing Language and Neuroscience Educator. I offer my own interpretation and integration of these practices, with deep gratitude for her pioneering work.

Sarah Peyton’s approach to healing blends relational neuroscience, resonant language, and compassionate presence to support transformation from the inside out. This work shows how trauma fragments the brain- and how warm, attuned connection can rewire it. Through practices rooted in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), attachment theory, and the science of resonance, this work helps people move beyond self-judgment and into deeper self-understanding and towards self warmth and self kindness. This method invites us to befriend our inner critic, transform painful patterns, and cultivate a felt sense of safety and belonging.

Facilitation Team

Lucy Ascham

Lucy is a healer, teacher and facilitator, and lover of being embodied as she walks in the woods in Sheffield, swims in cold water or sits quietly with a cup of tea. Lucy has been working with individuals and group workshops, taking people from pain towards freedom for over 2 decades. She is a Certified Resonant Healing Language Practitioner 2024-25 and has been working in private sessions with Sarah since 2008. She has been an Alexander Technique teacher 2003 and Constellations Facilitator 2019.

Lucy loves being able to help facilitate a deeper and kinder look at what people carry in their body, nervous system and soul. Supporting people to see and accept a little more of the truth they carry helps them integrate their experiences, for more choice and ease in the world. She has a light touch while being able to hold a safe space for deep work.
