She has been interviewed by countless podcasts on somatic psychology, yoga, trauma-sensitive yoga, and embodied spiritual practice. In clinical practice, Livia works holistically assisting women in healing from trauma, repairing relational wounds, and rewiring their nervous systems so they can live more vibrantly and powerfully in the lives they choose. She graduated Cum Laude from the University of Vermont, holds a Masters of Somatic Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, and is a registered psychotherapist with the state of Colorado.
