Trauma can shape every aspect of our lives. From physical pain and fatigue to anxiety, digestive issues, disturbed sleep, autoimmune issues, and emotional disconnection, trauma lives in the body.

We often focus on attaining what lives just outside the body, whether it’s through relationship, achievement, accolade, wealth, status, power, perfection, etc. Beneath the surface of that striving lies something far more tender and real: the impulse to feel particular emotions and sensations. To feel connected, safe, seen, heard, loved, special, alive . . .

An easy-to-understand framework that will help you identify and transform self-defeating subconscious thought patterns. When our subconscious beliefs are negative or rooted in fear, they manifest as reactions, strategies and behaviors that keep us stuck in patterns of self-sabotage. To live a life we love, we need to identify and transform these beliefs at the root.
