Healing Focused Events

Join us for a variety of healing-focused events, designed to help you understand yourself, build your internal resources, and promote your ability to heal. From somatic workshops to multiple day retreats, these events are tailored with your nervous system in mind. There is profound power in group healing spaces, and as facilitators we will bring all of our professional therapeutic knowledge, our skills as Somatic Experiencing Practitioners, and our lived experience as people who continue to do their own healing work, into our shared space. Come connect with other participants who understand what it's like to survive in a world that doesn't understand trauma, and allow us to show you how to soften to yourself. You don't have to do this alone and we are honored to join you on your healing journey

Healing Your Way Home 

You're invited to join us for our somatic-experiencing and healing-focused retreat. This trauma-informed, immersion experience will allow you to settle into a safe container with highly skilled trauma therapists as you attend to the parts of yourself that need gentleness, support, and care as you move forward from your traumatic past. Healing-focused retreats can provide support and transformation equivalent to months of therapy. Stepping out of your life for a few days will allow you the space to connect with yourself in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Healing Focused Self-Care Strategies

Self-care can’t be an extra, it is a crucial part of healing and recovery. The benefits of self-care can be felt when you attend to what your body is needing right here, right now. When we begin to attend to our bodies, we can become better aware of our needs. By attending to our bodies in our every day life we not only support ourselves in a routine fashion, we also help to build body trust so that we can rely on our brain and body to work together to help us through some of our toughest moments. This course is a supportive guide to help you connect with your body, and learn what it needs, as you work to be more present. Sometimes we can’t make big changes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t create more space for us and our healing.

The Learning Lounge

The Learning Lounge is a virtual classroom where you can access courses on complex trauma, healing and recovery, and relationship concerns. This space was created with your healing in mind and offers you a variety of resources to aid in your understanding of yourself. All course material offers tangible and gentle support and you will find that you are cared for while you engage in each course. I really look forward to connecting with you on your healing journey.

Log into the lounge

Body-based interventions can allow for deeper healing and regulation in the body. Following trauma, our body will often experience lingering effects from our held trauma responses, and if these trauma patterns and responses can be completed and then released, we are likely to find that people can live a more congruent and integrated life. Through learning how to be gentle with ourselves, and beginning to befriend our internal experience, we can feel into the changes we’ve long been yearning for. Somatic coaching allows us to help our clients create a safe container so they can feel more resourced in their day to day life.
