What is stress, and how does it affect us? Like an overtightened string, our nervous system can snap or collapse under excessive pressure. Trauma isn’t the event itself—it’s what is happening within us right now as a result of it. The Somatic Experiencing approach helps build resilience in the nervous system, guiding it from a state of overwhelm to a state of functional, balanced living.
GWCIM offeres Somatic Experiencing sessions, and has several trauma-informed health providers. If you have any questions, reach out for support.

And not all states have ND licenses. DC and MD does.

People who come across naturopathic medicine for the first time don’t always understand the rigor of education that licensed NDs complete. While naturopathy certificate programs can be helpful for one’s personal understanding of natural medicine, they are unregulated and unaccredited.

A certificate is not a substitute for 4 years of doctorate-level education and hands-on clinical experience that only accredited ND schools offer. Further, diagnosing and treating patients without a license can land you in legal hot water.
