Continually unpacking internalized fatphobia is part of Trevia Woods’ (she/her/hers) intergenerational trauma practice. Her years spent figuring out how to live with PCOS, experiences living in China and Saudi Arabia, and then becoming a mom were key stepping stones on her body acceptance journey. And Trevia’s expertise in supporting people to connect to their lineage helps Sophia soften some hard feelings towards her late grandmother.

Trevia Woods is a mixed-race woman with Indigenous ancestors who has nearly two decades of experience in bodywork, education and community-building. She has roots in the Midwest and Colorado, after traveling the world finds herself back in America finding her roots and how she belongs in the world. Trevia hosts the HELD community to help people remember their power connecting them through their lineages to their own traditions and community care rituals without culturally appropriating.
