I'm a neuroscience & trauma-informed coach and the founder of Rise As We, a mental health coaching space. I know first-hand that healing has no one size fits all. Like most healers I have my own history of mental health struggles and trauma. What really turned the page in my healing journey was learning to understand my nervous system and the tangible ways I could work with my physiology to powerfully influence and heal my psychology. This education and awareness shifted my lens from constantly feeling at war with myself to realizing that my brain is and always was fighting FOR me, I just didn't know how to listen. What you'll find here are the programs I wish I would have had in my healing journey.
