What is
Human Trauma?
Trauma is a pervasive problem. It is a direct result from exposure to an incident or series of events that are emotionally disturbing or life-threatening with lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, and/or spiritual well-being.

Personal
Consultation
Embeing® works with clients one-to-one in an empowered approach, fusing mindful and embodied practices with psycho-social education.
Embeing's specialty is not only offering somatic tools for supporting nervous system regulation and wellness-but I also believe exploring neurophysiologic understandings and unpacking harmful social narratives are key to personal freedom and agency.
Trauma causes distress "bottom-up" and "top-down."
​
*On-going private client roster is limited, priority offered to young people 16-29 years old.
​
​
One-time consultation option:
What therapeutic approach is right for you?
We will explore types of therapy and what you need from a clinician, support group and/or body work. You will leave prepared to ask questions of a therapist that will help you know if they will be the right fit for you.

Please Note: The majority of Therapists and Medical Doctors are NOT educated in Trauma.
