I’m glad you’re here.
Thank you for staying connected. Below are the resources I would put in your hands first.
A NOTE FROM ME
Connection is important to me, and I am glad you chose to stay.
The work I do is grounded in one principle: trauma is biology before it is story. The nervous system does exactly what it has learned to do to keep you alive.
Same with our immune system. Same with the attachment patterns we formed before we had language.
I am obsessed with how to practically heal and be free from the impact of our past.
That need to make the science practical started when I became a foster parent and then adopted Miguel just as he was turning 5.
But then it became me… when I hadn’t even realized I had stored trauma.
What I now know is that real repair has to reach all three layers: mind, body, and biology.
Each layer can hold us back in our trauma patterns, whether those show up in our life, relationships or health.
What you find below are the resources that have been the most popular.
Enjoy and again, I am glad you chose to stay.

These are the three pieces I would give anyone wanting to understand a Biology of Trauma® and how to work with their nervous system down to the cellular level.
The Book
The Biology of Trauma book walks through how trauma becomes biology, why that biology can keep you stuck for years, and the sequence, framework and integration of modalities the body needs for real and lasting repair.
5 Day Nervous System Reset
Five foundational nervous system exercises in a five-day format.

SONGS OF THE INNER WORLD
I also compose music. New songs come out on this music YouTube channel periodically. They are meant to be listened to in the dark, on a walk, or whenever the words and melody help more than another educational podcast episode.
