The work I do with women who have been sexually traumatized (rape, sexual assault or abuse) is the most important to me. As a 2x rape survivor, I intimately understand the needs these women face, and help them navigate their healing journeys.

My life has been intertwined with PTSD/Trauma and the military. Not only am I the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, I was also married to an active duty member (and Iraq/Afghanistan Veteran) for over 20 years. For 3 years, I volunteered at the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Riley, Kansas providing yoga therapy, meditation, and other holistic treatments to soldiers, family members, and staff. After seeing others struggle, and having my own personal struggles with trauma/PTSD, I was inspired to create the Trauma Healing Yoga Therapy Program.

As a Yoga Therapist and the founder of the Trauma Healing Yoga Therapy Program, I guide others in the use of effective, science-based yoga therapy and other holistic techniques for the management/healing of symptoms relating to PTSD and trauma for people who want to control their PTSD - not allow it to control them.

I have earned my 200 RYT, 500 RYT and was awarded my Certification in Yoga Therapy from the International Association of Yoga Therapy. Additionally, I have completed a 120-hour YogaFit Warriors training and the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) online course through the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. I was also a student with the Phoenix Rising School of Yoga Therapy, where I learned another approach to utilizing yoga to help release trauma from the body. I work with people with all types of physical conditions, but I specialize in working with those suffering from PTSD, TBI’s and all trauma-related issues and have been for over the past 10 years. ​

Over the years of working with clients, one theme seemed to be always present - FEAR. Whether it was being triggered, having to relive or "go there" to deal with their experiences, or how their experiences dictated their decision making process and shaped their futures, clients were living in FEAR. After doing a tremendous amount of research, I found that most people were utilizing thought process and coping strategies that were developed when they were between the ages 7-9. Obviously, this doesn't equipt anyone for processing adult situations - especially those that are PTSD producing experiences. Wanting to address this concern among my clients, I was inspired to be further educated in a way that helped my clients uplevel their thinking processes and coping strategies while taking their FEAR completely out of their healing journey.

In 2023, I received additional training as a Master Hypnotherapist, Master NLP Practitioner, Master NLP Results Coach and a Master Time Line Therapist as designated by the American Board of Hypnotherapy and NLP. (NLP = Neuro Linguistic Programing) These modalities are accepted in over 42 different countries.
