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.

Trauma-Informed Systems Analysis

Embeing® Trauma-Informed Systems Analysis recognizes:

  • Employee wellness and satisfaction is key to the success of a company in a new world order typified by creativity, vision and collaboration.

  • Workplaces need to unearth and re-imagine practices, policies and permissions in order to improve outcomes.

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 we 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."

Insights from Our Founder

Trauma education is about honoring our interdependence. When we acknowledge our interdependence we can witness how trauma passes through the human collective more powerfully than any other virus.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Melanie is a bright light in a world that is often unwelcoming to our struggles in the mental health field. Melanie was engaging, informative and compelling as to why it's important people talk about how their work affects them and the importance of living life where there is a focus on your own wellness. Melanie's presentation provided staff with valuable tools to help combat burnout and compassion fatigue while validating the importance of meeting your own needs."
