Developmental Trauma Treatment at Aim to Recover is rooted in the pioneering work of Steven Terrell, using a gentle and deeply effective modality called Transformational Touch. This method supports healing from early life and birth-related traumas that may still manifest physically or emotionally. At its core, it’s an embodied approach that uses therapeutic touch, attuned connection, and nervous system support to help clients move out of trauma patterns and into lasting resilience.
It’s especially valuable for postpartum recovery. Transformational Touch gently supports women in restoring balance after childbirth, easing emotional strain, tension, and physical trauma stored in the body. For anyone living with the effects of past trauma—be it birth-related, developmental, or later in life—this work offers a powerful and compassionate pathway to healing.
Practitioner Paul O’Regan blends this treatment with his extensive background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and movement therapy, providing a safe and informed space for recovery. Through touch and connection, the body is invited into a place of calm and regulation, promoting sustainable wellbeing and healing from within.

Transformational Touch is a gentle, hands-on approach designed to support healing from early life trauma. Developmental Trauma Treatment at Aim to Recover acknowledges that trauma often resides in the body, not just the mind. By working with the nervous system and through safe, attuned touch, clients are helped to release old patterns of fear, tension, and disconnection. This work is especially valuable in postpartum recovery, where emotional and physical strain can surface anew. The focus is always on creating a safe environment where resilience can grow naturally over time.
