Come alive after trauma through connecting with your nervous system

When I say that my work is trauma-informed, it feels important to share some of my background that makes that possible. My lived experience as someone who continues to heal from the effects of complex and developmental trauma has both driven and dovetailed with my professional work centering the body and healing for over 20 years. Below are some of the more significant professional trainings and experiences that shape and inform the work I do today:
