Trauma-informed and Restorative Therapists and Facilitators

We all are the sum total of our experiences, positive and negative. It is through our experiences
with people, from as far back as in-utero that we begin to make meaning of the world and build a
mental model/internal working model within our brain, mind, soul and body of how we see/view
the world (people) and either react or respond to them.

Testimonials

I would like to take this time to reflect on our work together and share my appreciation. Over the course of our sessions, I have had the opportunity to learn more about myself, my patterns, and the areas in my life that need attention and healing. Your guidance has played a meaningful role in this process , I am so very grateful and humbled.

Through our conversations, I have begun to develop a deeper awareness of my emotions and the way I respond to challenges. I’have started to pause, reflect, and make different choices instead of reacting , this is something I am continuing to grow into, and I’m grateful for the tools you’ve helped me build.

What I value most is the space you’ve created for me—one that has been respectful, safe, and non-judgmental. I feel heard and understood, even in moments where I struggle to express myself clearly. Your patience and steadiness has helped me feel supported throughout this process.

There have been difficult moments in my journey, but each has been an opportunity to learn something important about myself.

Thank you for your continued support, insight, and compassion. I look forward to building on what we’ve already achieved and continuing this journey of growth, self acceptance and self-understanding.
