I’m here to bring a ginormous spotlight to an area of health and healing that’s being overlooked: unresolved and untreated trauma (of all kinds!).

Before you say, “I wasn’t traumatized”, please, please stick around because we, the scientific and clinical practice community, are finally redefining what a traumatic experience and adversity really is and it is not what most people think! I am here to give everybody access to education that is NOT dumbed down and assumes the reader wants the truth – even if it means getting into the nitty-gritty and feeling some feels. This means my articles (and videos that often accompany them) are more on the in-depth side and require you to think a bit more. In some cases a lot more. I hope you take some time to sink your curiosity into all that is on this page.

Much Love
