Introducing Mini Trauma Recovery Talks and Why it is important to understanding how Menopause can cause Trauma. Get Trauma Informed is a Movement. We offer Holistic Wellness Resources and Remedies.  Let's walk together and go from just Surviving to Joyously Thriving. 

 "According to Penn Medical News  depression is common during a woman’s transition to menopause, understanding who is at-risk of experiencing major depressive disorder (MDD) during this period of hormonal fluctuation were previously unknown. Now, a new study shows that women who experience multiple traumatic events during childhood or adolescence have a significantly increased risk of depression in the years leading into menopause (known as perimenopause). In particular, women who experienced their first traumatic event in their teens are especially susceptible to depression during perimenopause, even if they had previously never had depression."

After a terrible debilitating car accident I went in search of Nature methods of recovery.  My studies led me down a path of learning Naturopathic Practices, Trauma, Addiction and Abuse Recovery.  

My attention was on relieving pain, creating better performance in my mind, body, spirit, soul and my life period.

I am passionate about The Get Trauma Informed Podcast because it is not just a Podcast, it is a movement.  It is my belief that if the world was more Trauma Informed, together we would stop-retraumatizing and avoid the tragedies that are the result of hundreds of people suffering in silence.
