Did you know that during trauma, the Broca’s area, which is the part of the brain responsible for speech and language, actually goes offline?
That’s why in the middle of a traumatic event (or when recalling one), people often can’t find words, feel “frozen,” or later say: “I just couldn’t talk about it.”
This is also why traditional talk therapy can struggle to fully reach trauma because trauma isn’t stored as a neat story in words. It’s stored in the body: in sensations, reflexes, and nervous system patterns.
*Somatic therapies work with the body directly, tracking sensations, breath, and movement to help release what words alone can’t reach.
Working through trauma is much more about letting the body complete the process of stress response by letting the body FEEL it to HEAL it, rather than trying to use words to talk through it which allows you to just keep reliving it again and again, deploying the same incomplete stress response, keeping you stuck.

Should you focus more on the mind or the body when on the path to recovery? (It's both).
The nervous system is the bridge that unites the two.
The autonomic nervous system regulates stress responses, immune function, digestion, sleep, and even pain perception. When it is dysregulated, whether from trauma, chronic stress, or unresolved emotional experiences.
Every system in the body is affected. Healing without addressing the nervous system is like trying to repair the structure of a house while the foundation is crumbling.
When the nervous system begins to regulate:
-The body shifts from survival mode into repair and recovery.
-The brain can integrate experiences more clearly, reducing intrusive stress responses.
-Emotional regulation and healthy connection with others become more accessible.
In other words, I based my business model around addressing the nervous system first to create the conditions for all other aspects of healing:physical, psychological, and relational(the bio-psycho-social model) to take place more effectively.
Welcome to Nervana. 💚

Hear me when I say: Stop apologizing for taking up space. Stop apologizing and trying to rationalize healthy boundaries.
After trauma, you might feel the need to apologize for how you show up in the world. This is all because your nervous system was hijacked and you simultaneously learned to internalize shame. Trauma teaches you to expect less from people.
You get sensitized to threat. Survivors often learn to prioritize safety and avoidance of conflict over fairness, so they tolerate mistreatment or low standards if it means avoiding more danger.
No one asked for your permission before causing you harm. So why should you seek permission to be who you are, as you are, right now?
You do not need to apologize for existing.
You do not need to shrink to fit someone else’s comfort.
And anyone who can’t respect your boundaries is often the very person who benefited from you not having any.

Are you a childhood trauma survivor?
Are you frequently feeling guilt, tend to people please, struggle with boundaries, have chronic pain/illness/mental health challenges?

Let’s talk about shame and how this manifests in the mind and body and why this is crucial to call out and begin healing.

I work to help you know the difference, recognize and release through EAET, somatic therapy and through parts work(Internal Family Systems).

With everything going on in the world right now, it’s easy to get pulled into the chaos, the fear, the abyss.
But remember that you are human, you are light, and you have the power to ground back into what’s real.
Go outside and feel Mother Earth.
Hug a tree, hug your kids, hug your friends. Let your nervous system feel connection.
Put on music that lifts your frequency and nourishes your soul.
Eat food that reminds your body that it is loved.
Breathe. Stretch.
Don’t get lost in the incessant noise. Remember your goodness. Remember your light. Most people aren’t evil people so don’t walk around being reactive and angry, making assumptions.
The world needs more of us rooted and united.

This. This is why I do what I do.
This woman had trigeminal neuralgia for over 10 years and was severely suffering when she came to me to the point she didn’t want to speak for fear of making it worse.
Two sessions. The brain is plastic and we CAN change these pain patterns and turn off the alarm mechanism firing.
It starts with Education: a CLEAR understanding of what pain is and how it works. Sometimes this is enough to shut the fear response off and cause dramatic results after 1 session. I never want to create false pretense or promises that this is the case for everyone but sharing because it gives hope.
If you are suffering in pain and you’ve tried it all like her, reach out. I can help.
