about

to Being Human that includes both our being and our human experience. 

We offer both individual and group learning formats through Online and In-Person SE Sessions, as well as Trauma-Informed Yoga classes. 

If you're reading this, it's likely that you've already tried traditional, top-down, cognitive-based approaches. Your community, friends, and professional support may not fully understand or might even judge your non-linear journey. Yet, you may sense deep down that there’s another way, even if it's not clear to you right now. 

This is the other way. At its heart, this is your way. 

The way that reveals itself the more we listen to your unique intelligence.

This approach is grounded in the science of human healing and connection as illuminated by the founders of Somatic Science®, Somatic Experiencing, and the Polyvagal Theory; all human beings who found new pathways into the heart of healing through the body.

Here we learn how to trust and transform our experience without transcending it, opening up a doorway to happiness, wholeness, and our essential self.

on the nuances and science of trauma and the body through organized, exploratory education. 

This is experiential education utilizing a direct approach founded on the science of human healing and connection as illuminated by Somatic Science® and The Polyvagal Theory. 

Workshops are rooted in polyvagal principles and structures as well as neurobiological understandings and practices. We learn together and each person tests and confirms their own truth. 

An embodied understanding of our own neurobiology and capacity for regulation allows us to show up fully human for ourselves and for the humans in our care. It also tethers our human to our being, allowing us to glimpse our essential self, sometimes for the first time.
