After 26 years as a journalist reporting on other peoples' trauma, to my surprise, I discovered that I had experienced Vicarious Trauma, and then Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
My curiosity about healing prompted me to go back to school to become a Certified Wellness Counsellor. I am currently finishing my final year of study in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based trauma therapy founded by Dr. Peter A. Levine.
As a trauma educator I am particularly passionate about how the body supports and serves us as a warning system and as a guide to mental, emotional and physical health.
