Each circle offers time to pause and reconnect with body, heart, and spirit — steady, safe-enough spaces for healing and growth.
Post-Traumatic Growth & Resilience Coaching for Women
🍂 Finding Your Way: Two Ways to Join This Fall
Rooted in how our brain and nervous system heal, the path I offer weaves trauma-informed mindfulness, heartfelt connection, and science.
This fall, I’m offering two ways to gather — spaces that include mindfulness, connection, and an understanding of how our brain and nervous system work. These elements reflect the deep integration I’ve experienced through mindful awareness and the healing sciences of Interpersonal Neurobiology and Polyvagal Theory on my own journey of trauma recovery.

Groups are intentionally kept small (6–8 women) to support safety and connection.
Why This Path Matters
Drawing on mindfulness and the healing sciences, I offer practices, tools, and insights that support the nervous system’s natural return to safety and connection. These approaches cultivate resilience and gently help you reconnect with a sense of wholeness and well-being.
From my own trauma recovery, I’ve learned that combining mindful awareness with the science of healing can feel like medicine for the nervous system — soothing and regulating in ways that allow healing to unfold. When we begin to feel safe enough, our bodies soften, our minds quiet, and our entire system — brain, heart, lungs, gut, and nervous system — can shift into a state where healing is possible.

🎥 An invitation to watch
An invitation to watch my story of learning to visit with myself each day with kindness and grace — and how it now shapes the way I guide Post-Traumatic Growth and Resilience Coaching for Women.
You May Be Feeling or Noticing
• Feeling both anxious and hopeful about what’s next
• Moving through waves of overwhelm or sensing the world isn’t always safe
• Not sure where or how to begin
• Feeling unsettled by small, everyday situations
• Longing to feel more at ease in your connections.
What We May Explore Together
Trauma-informed mindfulness and healing science (Interpersonal Neurobiology & Polyvagal Theory) — woven as resources for healing and growth.
• Mindfulness — invites us to pay attention—on purpose, in the present moment with non-judgement—with kindness and curiosity. By bringing mindful awareness to our experience, space for healing and growth opens.
Trauma-sensitive mindfulness adapts ancient and modern mindfulness practices to support healing and growth for those who have experienced traumatic experiences or events.
• Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) — at its heart is integration—the coming together of what has been disconnected. Trauma may leave us feeling disconnected from parts of ourselves. Integration gently supports the brain, body, and heart in moving toward wholeness, contentment.
🌱 “Integration is kindness and compassion made visible.” — Dan Siegel
• Polyvagal Theory — offers science-informed practices that help the nervous system return to states of safety, groundedness, and connection.
🌱 “Notice the glimmers, moments that make us feel safe and calm.” — Deb Dana
• Self-Compassion — cultivates resilience. It’s offering yourself the warmth and understanding you’d naturally extend to a dear friend, creating a gentler way of meeting whatever arises.
Understanding Well-Being
These foundations support key aspects of post-traumatic growth in everyday life, offering gentle ways to experience:
• Safety & Regulation — learning simple ways to soothe the nervous system, increasing moments of ease and calm.
• Resilience — cultivating the ability to soothe and regulate the nervous system and be here and now with more ease, so there is less suffering and a greater ability, within less time, to recover from distress.
• Connection — reconnecting with the simple signals of your body and heart, and with others, in ways that feel safe.
• Growth — reconnecting with yourself—your strengths and wholeness—
🌱 at your own pace, in your own time.
🌱 “Resilience—cultivated through soothing and regulating the nervous system—can open more inner space. A space where post-traumatic growth can gently unfold.”

Post-Traumatic Growth — Mindfulness, Interpersonal Neurobiology & PolyVagal Theory
A weaving of science and personal experience to support healing and growth.
Community can help hold what’s difficult to carry alone.
Healing often unfolds in connection.
As Rachel Naomi Remen reminds us, “We are all healers of each other. The reality is that healing happens between people.”
You’re invited to consider a free call.
It’s a space to ask questions, share what matters to you, and notice whether working together feels like a good fit.
A Window Into My Story
“Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We feel more alive.
We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation and healing.”
– Jon Kabat Zinn
A Glimpse Into My Story
More than 35 years ago, a mindfulness workshop with Jon Kabat-Zinn shifted the course of my life. Over time, I deepened my practice, studying Jewish Mindfulness, other wisdom traditions, and trauma-informed science. These teachings helped me return to myself—my strengths and wholeness—and now I guide others on that same path.
My journey has also carried me through illness, grief, and early wounds of disconnection. Within those experiences, I reclaimed the seeds of resilience—compassion, courage, and a deep capacity for connection—that were part of me all along. Today, I walk with others who are navigating transition, loss, or trauma, supporting them as they rediscover their resilience and wholeness.
Perhaps this is a time of transition, and you may be wondering how to move forward with clarity and compassion;
Together, we’ll explore mindfulness, somatic practices, and trauma-informed science, supporting your reconnection with wholeness.
“
The gift of healing trauma is that the woundedness becomes a gateway to freedom, healing and love.”
