Transforming Trauma: Personal Reflections & New Opportunities
This week, I’m feeling a deep sense of gratitude and excitement as I prepare to attend a three-day in-person workshop in San Diego with Peter Levine and Ruth Lanius—two pioneers in the field of trauma healing. The workshop, Transforming Trauma: Uniting Brain, Body and Mind, feels especially resonant for me right now. The theme of transforming trauma isn’t just academic;
it’s personal. It’s the thread that runs through my own healing and the work I do with each of you. Every time we gather in community or pause to listen to our bodies, we’re rewriting our stories—one gentle step at a time.
Â
I have several opportunities to connect and work with me over the next month. I am part of the MN Association for Marriage and Family Therapy training series with my session coming up on March 4th. I have an in person all day event on March
21st - Healing Happens in Connection. I have zoom based offerings around Befriend Your Story for deeper healing and Tending Together for community support. Scroll down for more details on each.

Rewriting Your Story: Healing Through Somatic Awareness
If you’re curious about how somatic awareness and parts work can support your healing, I invite you to join me for an upcoming workshop hosted by the MN Association for Marriage and Family Therapy: Rewriting Your Story: Healing Trauma Through Somatic Awareness. This transformative experience is designed for anyone longing to deepen
their understanding of trauma and create a new, compassionate narrative for themselves. We’ll explore somatic experiencing, parts work, relational trauma repair, and the biology of trauma—all in a supportive, community setting.
Healing Happens In Connection: Upcoming In-Person Event
Mark your calendar for a special in-person, all-day event: Healing Happens In Connection. We’ll gather in community to explore the power of relational healing and somatic tools for nervous system regulation. Choose from two dates—March 21st or April 11th, 10am-4pm. Whether you’re new to this work or deepening your journey, you are
welcome.
Get to Know Your Inner Landscape: Take the Inner Parts Quiz
Â
Curious about the parts of yourself that show up in daily life? I encourage you to take the Inner Parts Quiz. It’s a gentle, insightful way to get to know your inner landscape and
prepare for deeper healing work. Many participants find that this quiz brings clarity and compassion to the parts that most need attention right now.
Powerful wrap up to The Befriend Your Story Experience
We just wrapped the first series of the Befriend Your Story Experience, focused on recognizing the struggle—and what an honor it has been to witness the profound growth among participants. Through gentle mapping of body sensations, timelines of hardship revealing hidden anchors, heartfelt letters
to doubt, and vulnerable empty-chair dialogues with protective parts, attendees uncovered self-compassion, quicker emotional recovery, and empowering choices in connection. Participants emerged with fresh hope, embodied resources like swaying rhythms or clasped hands for safety, and a tender curiosity toward their stories. If you’re ready to tenderly befriend your own journey toward authenticity and resilience,
blending somatic experiencing, parts work, and attachment wisdom, check out my Intro to Befriend Your Story offering. Join the interest list for the next Befriend Your Story Experience series here Join Interest List—spaces fill quickly!
Announcing: Intro to Befriend Your Story—March Sessions
In March, I’m offering a three-part series called Intro to Befriend Your Story. Each session is crafted to help you connect with your inner wisdom, nurture your inner child, and gently meet your inner critic. These sessions are a wonderful entry point for anyone new to parts work or somatic
healing—and a meaningful refresher for those continuing the journey. Register for one or all. Recordings provided for each session so attending live is optional.
