Trauma can begin within the womb or happen anytime in life. It hangs in the shadows, waiting for our hardest or darkest moments to rear its ugly head. Trauma, as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), can dramatically alter our lives, taking over the way we feel, obstructing the way relate with others, coloring the way we interact with our environment, disrupting our sleep, dominating our thinking, and hijacking us so many other ways. You did not choose your traumatic experience(s), nor did you choose the symptoms that came after. We are here to help you see a way through that trauma to recapture your control, joy, and life. 

Join us as we hold space for trauma and PTSD, offering insights into why some experience trauma/PTSD and others don’t, tips for moving forward, and gentle guidance for supportive loved ones of those who have experienced trauma.  Trauma is powerful but it does not have to determine the next chapter of your life. Let us help you begin to heal.
