The reverberations of trauma begin in childhood and echo throughout our lifetime. With loving awareness new pathways can be formed in the brain and redirected towards wholeness.

Is Love Ever Absent?
I have learned that I can only know the truth of any situation by being quiet and curious. The mind is a constant feedback loop of the past. It doesn’t leave room for openness, wonder and listening.
The Soul of the Universe
Love is the simple unearned grace of being here. An alive mystery.
The Present Moment is Safe
If you notice places of tension in your body simply ask yourself, “is this tension necessary right now?” Just a gentle curiosity. No demand for the tension to release or let go. Be patient with yourself.
The Trauma Wound
The trauma wound goes back to the disconnection that happens during a traumatic experience in childhood. Our natural state is connection. Disconnection is the result of trauma.
Tenderness is for the Heart
The heart longs for the sweetness and sincerity of kind words, sensitive touch and merciful presence. When presence meets pain there is something magical and transformative that happens.
Simple Aware Being
Our true nature doesn’t argue with reality; it simply allows things to be as they are or in other words it is one with the way things are not in opposition with the way things are.
Living with Individual and Collective Trauma
We bring ourselves into alignment with the way things are right now. We stop fighting and allow ourselves to be deeply impacted by the goodness and healing forces of our benevolent nature.
Chronic Pain and Anxiety
The brain and nervous systems react to prolonged pain by going into a fight-flight-freeze response. There are neurosensory practices that support the nervous system to come back into regulation.
Curiosity and Chronic Illness
Even if you are unable to leave your bed because of a chronic illness you can awaken curiosity. It’s impossible to be afraid and curious at the same time. Curiosity is a beautiful antidote to fear.
