“Therapy is not about ‘fixing’ something that is broken. But a place where we can become curious about your journey, and gently ‘tease out’ any underlying issues to help you move past, overcome and create a better way of being.”

“After trauma, the world is experienced with a different nervous system. The survivor’s energy now becomes focused on suppressing inner chaos, at the expense of spontaneous involvement in their lives. These attempts to maintain control over unbearable physiological reactions can result in a whole range of physical symptoms, including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and other autoimmune diseases. This explains why it is critical for trauma treatment to engage the entire organism, body, mind, and brain.”
