This week on Mindful Makers, I sit down with Dr Geraldine Naidoo, a trauma, stress, anxiety, and ADHD specialist with over 20 years of experience In nervous system regulation.

Her approach combines deep science with soul, drawing from quantum theory and somatic interventions to offer trauma-informed care that’s tailored, not templated. Her practice is informed by trauma pioneers including:

• Dr Gabor Maté (Compassionate Inquiry)

• Dr Bessel van der Kolk (Trauma Counselling)

• Dr Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory)

• Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing)

• Dr David Berceli (TRE)

• Thomas Hübl (Collective Trauma)

• Kaya Leigh (Sacred Breathwork)

In this episode, we explore:

• Why trauma is so complex and how it affects your body, brain, and relationships
• Why healing stress and anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all
• Reasons trauma manifests in leadership, parenting, and workplace dynamics
• The debate between corporate wellness responsibility vs personal accountability
• The connection between trauma, burnout, and menopause
• What nervous system regulation actually feels like and how to find the right support for your healing path

Whether you’re a CEO, a parent, or somewhere in between, this episode offers practical tools and powerful insights for anyone navigating anxiety or trauma.
