✨IVE GOT SOME EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE! ✨
Melanie here! I’m leaning deeper into teaching, trainings and mentoring in a way that feels really joyful and grounded! This new creation is called Groundwork Trauma Education.
What’s at the heart of Groundwork Trauma Education
At the core of everything I do, I want to help therapists become really good therapists—
the kind who enjoy the work,
trust themselves in the room,
and create therapy that heals.
I started Groundwork Trauma Education because I’ve seen how much harm can happen when trauma work isn’t embodied.
Too many clinicians learn a protocol but never learn how to live it, breathe it, and use it as an artful tool in the room.
This is about learning to move with a client moment by moment— not getting lost in your head wondering if you’re doing it wrong, but trusting your own grounded presence.
Groundwork is about laying a foundation.
In ourselves.
With our clients.
And within our field.
It’s doing the inner work that lets us show up whole.
It’s learning to see healing capacity, not dysfunction.
It’s not just being “trauma-informed.”
It’s being trauma responsive.
This isn’t a come-listen-and-get-your-certificate kind of space.
It’s a community.
A place to return to, ask questions, share wisdom, and keep growing.
I built Groundwork because we need to go upstream—
to prevent harm before it happens,
to help therapists stay grounded and sustainable,
and to keep trauma therapy rooted in humanity.
If you’re here and you feel that tug—
if you’re craving a community that nourishes you as a therapist—listen to your gut and get on our email list to stay up to date or our offerings and connection points!
