    Community Conversations: Growing Beyond Trauma

    Gather in groups. Connect and be inspired. Learn about managing trauma, academic, and life stories. Learn about coping skills, support systems, and managing adversity. As we get educated in public, transformation occurs. Community dialogue has the power to shift things. Workshops are designed for professional development, schools, and nonprofits.

  • Healing Arts Workshop

    Express yourself. This workshop is experiential in nature. You will be invited to share parts of your healing journey through song, movement, poetry, tapping, comedy, open mic. Empower your left brain and right brain to share your creativity and be seen. Previous experience not required. We will help facilitate and give prompts that make it easy for you to jump in.

  • Consulting on Your Own Project

    Do you have a project that you want to birth like write a book or choreograph a performance or create something meaningful to you and others? Would you like some coaching help to keep it moving forward? I can help you outline goals, timeframes, and deliverables. We will set up a series of times to meet on zoom. If you want someone to support you with the creative juices flowing, this is great.
