Trauma therapy
Are you carrying a secret burden of unhealed childhood trauma?
Even though conventional therapy helped, do you still feel trapped by the past?
Do you have secret or hidden hurts from your childhood that haunt your daily life?
Do you have bad dreams about your childhood?
Are personal relationships hard for you? Is it difficult for you to really let others into your life?
Do you feel insecure, disconnected or distant from your spouse?
Do you feel fear, vulnerability, overwhelm or sadness that you keep hidden from others?
Despite your intelligence, hard work and accomplishments, do you hunger for something you haven't been able to fulfill in your life?
Even after the many things you have done to move beyond your painful childhood, are you still searching for the deep inner healing, resolution and transformation, including healing your body-mind and nervous system, that you intuitively know is needed to completely heal?
It can feel painful, discouraging or frustrating to continue dealing with the impact of a painful childhood, including childhood trauma, for years into your adult life. You go through seasons of feeling the impact and also seasons and stages of healing. What seemed sufficient in earlier seasons, may not have truly gone to the core of your trauma injuries and how they are anchored within you. New realizations and insights about how your painful childhood is affecting you now as an adult, along with new memories, including body memories of the trauma, come up years into your adult life. They hurt your daily life and current relationships, pulling you back into reliving the imprinted trauma patterns of your past.
Some days, you may ask yourself if you’ll ever deeply heal and move beyond your childhood trauma.
With the help of depth energy healing, you can. You can find the core of your childhood injuries and trauma and how they are anchored and reactivated deep inside. You can finally heal these injuries at their root and become free to live in the present, and flourish in all areas of your life and relationships.
Many Women Work for Years to Deeply Heal from Childhood Trauma
Experiencing childhood trauma is tragically very common. According to research results from the large, ground-breaking public health study of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Kaiser Permamente, approximately 64% of adults in the US have experienced at least one form of adverse childhood experience or trauma. [1] Most women begin their healing journey with conventional therapy or counseling – after all, it is what is best known and available. Conventional counseling and trauma therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and even EMDR, can start the process. Through these means, many women begin consciously exploring, understanding and unraveling what happened to them growing up and how their childhood losses, injuries and traumas and the ways their childhood needs were unmet affected them as children, teens and younger adults.
This is the beginning of the healing journey. For full resolution, release, healing and restoration of your full happiness, joy and freedom to flourish in all areas of your life, you need to go further, you need to go deeper. You need to find and heal the origin of the injuries and childhood trauma you experienced, where they are anchored in your mind-body and how they can become reactivated within you. You need to establish a new deeply embodied sense of safety within your mind-body, your nervous system, and your heart.
Our understanding and resources for healing trauma have advanced and deepened significantly in recent decades. Thankfully, with the help of an experienced, compassionate depth energy healing therapist and mentor, you can go to the depth you intuitively know you need and have been searching for, to heal and release the invisible roots of childhood trauma from deep within you. You can regain your original, innate ability to feel safe deep in your body, to thrive, and to feel joy and delight in your life and soul-satisfying love in your relationships - here and now.
Beyond trauma therapy to trauma Healing
You can finally deeply heal from childhood trauma.
Freeing the Heroine Within is my premiere depth energy healing specialty program for healing childhood wounding from toddler-hood through your young adult years. It is designed for accomplished, spiritually-attuned women who have experienced childhood trauma and are searching to be freed from their injuries at their core, and seeking the deeper healing they intuitively know they still need. They feel a soul-deep hunger for freedom from the memories and impact of it. They want bone-deep joy, fulfillment, soul-satisfying lasting love, and freedom to fully flourish in every way.
If you are troubled by painful memories of unmet childhood needs, hurts or trauma from the past, even after conventional trauma therapy, or if you feel stuck, deeply restless or unfulfilled, your Soul is signalling to you that it's time for a significant step forward ~ a personal up-leveling and expansion. It's time to listen to your heart and follow your deep Desire.

I have been guiding women to heal from childhood trauma for nearly 20 years. This was the first specialty I embraced, when I expanded into Energy Psychology. Freeing the Heroine Within is one of the deepest, most impactful healing programs I have ever offered. Women frequently tell me at the completion they feel their childhood injuries have finally been deeply healed, and they feel freed from carrying the burden of their past childhood trauma. Many women tell me they feel reborn.

Heal and release painful feelings at their core and origin point, like anger, fear, vulnerability, overwhelm, sadness, self-doubt, and the myriad other emotional wounds from the unhealed adverse or traumatic experiences you had as a child, that burden and weigh you down, keeping you from feeling truly free to be yourself: joyous, fulfilled and vibrantly, radiantly alive.
Move beyond feeling repeatedly pulled back into reliving the past, and start moving forward again in your personal life or marriage.
Reconnect and reignite emotional closeness and soul-satisfying love with your spouse. Create other personal relationships that are fulfilling and close.

By going beyond trauma therapy to trauma healing, working with me in Freeing the Heroine Within, you will be gently and securely empowered to deeply heal from the childhood trauma that has held you back from the greater personal fulfillment, love and joy you hunger for now.
Why is Healing Childhood Trauma a crucial necessity? Why now?
ACES study results demonstrate that unhealed childhood trauma is a root cause for several serious issues women struggle with well into our adult lives. These include relationship problems, including divorce and challenges mothering our own children, challenges with emotional well-being, including depression and anxiety, health issues including weight issues, diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and challenges fulfilling our professional potential. [4]
Simply put, to transform your life, live your dreams, and fulfill your Soul purpose in the highest way, you must heal your past.
You must heal your Inner Child from trauma so you can fully live and thrive in the present, as the accomplished adult woman you are now.
Healing childhood trauma is a crucial turning point on your Heroine’s Journey to the deepened freedom, joy, love, and full Self-expression your Soul hungers for now.
How I came to know this.
I know what it is like to feel trapped in a private hunger for fulfillment. I remember what it was like to want to break FREE! and feel my own deeper happiness, love and joy. Yet time and time again, I found myself being pulled back into the mire. While I didn’t know it at the time, I needed healing from my own childhood trauma.
I remember what it was like to have many professional successes and accomplishments, and yet feel personally unfulfilled. I had completed my Master’s degree from one of the top three Marriage and Family Therapy programs in the US, published my original thesis research in a top peer-reviewed journal, and quickly established a successful private practice; yet I was missing the love in my personal life that would make my heart sing as a woman, having been divorced while in graduate school.
In addition to my professional success, I knew I deserved personal fulfillment and joy too! And I knew there was so much more I could do for my two beautiful young daughters and for the world, if only I could get out of that private inner struggle and self-doubt.
Thankfully, that was a long time ago, and I am grateful that that time is now behind me. Over 30 years ago, I met and married my Beloved, (after a second divorce and after I was well past 30.) We’ve been happily married for over 30 years, and our marriage gets richer and deeper and more fulfilling every passing year.
The love and joy I sought began with making a life-changing commitment to become the heroine in my own life.
And so I began a journey ~ my Heroine's Journey to find and heal what was keeping me from my dream of the loving marriage I so deeply wanted. I discovered these things were buried in my past; I thought I had dealt with them years before through conventional therapy. I learned more is needed for healing childhood trauma and being freed from the pain and wounds of the past than conventional talk or trauma therapy alone. Through a series of spiritual experiences, I was led to the means for this deeper, more complete healing. I learned how to break free from my own inner child’s struggle and limitations, AND how to guide other women to do the same for themselves.
Freeing the Heroine Within contains the heart of the step-wise pathway out. It guides you through your Heroines Journey of healing your inner child from the childhood trauma you have carried for so long, and contains the essential steps to satisfy the personal hunger you feel for deeper fulfillment, and to reclaim your birthright and blueprint for your own deeply joyful life ~ now.
Common Questions about healing childhood Trauma
”I relate to these challenges, but I don’t have any memories of trauma from childhood. If anything, I feel like my parents loved me from a distance, and left me to raise myself. Can you help me?”
Yes. While the prevailing belief is that childhood trauma is violent or abusive, what we know from multiple research papers from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) Study, is that childhood trauma is broader in scope than abuse alone. [3] Children whose parents were absent or uninvolved in their lives, including through divorce or death of a parent, or who had parents who were benignfully neglectful of their emotional, social, physical or spiritual needs, also experience childhood trauma. Moving frequently can also be disruptive for children’s basic needs for community and belonging, and can also leave a traumatic impact.
If you relate to what you have read, then it is likely that healing childhood trauma can be beneficial for you.
If you would like to consider more deeply, if childhood trauma may be impacting your life today, request the Freedom to Flourish Self-Assessment. I wrote it to help you take a deeper, more nuanced look beyond the ACE’s quiz. You can request it above.
“The trauma I experienced in my childhood happened a long time ago. I’ve forgiven those involved, and have moved on with my life. Why is it coming up again, and why should I be concerned, or do anything about this now?”
Healing childhood trauma usually takes place in layers and stages, as we move through our own adult lives. As we progress in life, the healing needs to go deeper, so that we can keep progressing. The deeper layers of childhood trauma healing that I facilitate through Freeing the Heroine Within, go beyond your conscious mind and awareness to find, heal and release where the traumatic impacts have been imprinted in your subconscious, your implicit body-based memories, your deeply held, nonverbal beliefs about yourself, your energy field, and the way they are anchored in your body, wiring you neurologically to feel unsafe in the world.
This deeper level of healing goes far beyond the first layer of healing that is obtainable through conventional trauma therapy methods, which many women achieve earlier in their lives.
The layers and stages open as we are ready for them, according to our own adult timelines. When a new layer of healing childhood trauma opens, it is vitally important that we step into it, and do the healing work that opens.
Why deeper healing is vitally important to heal your childhood trauma.
One of the most important results from over 70+ ACE’s research papers, is the finding that unhealed childhood trauma has a lifelong impact in women’s lives. [5] The impacts are significant, and include relationship problems and instability including divorce, throughout life, challenges with emotional well-being, including depression and anxiety, and major adult illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, weight issues and even cancer. The ACE’s research indicates these significant adult impacts of unhealed childhood trauma are causative, so when a layer for deeper healing opens, it is crucially important to step into the healing, even many years after we have forgiven those involved.
"I feel a deep restlessness and dissatisfaction in my life. Others have told me I'm in a mid-life crisis, but it feels like something more to me. Sometimes I feel like I'm screaming inside, it's so intense. But I don't know what it is that I want instead - I don't know what my heart's desire is. Can you help someone like me?"
Many woman who work with me feel similarly when they start. You are not alone. As we work together, you can experience increasing freedom from the restlessness and discontent deep in your Soul. You can feel excitement from regaining forward movement in your life, resolving the restlessness and so called "mid-life crisis" along the way.
Most importantly, you can find clarity about your heart's deep Desire.
"Is this program only about marriage?"
No. My own heart's deep Desire years ago was to become happily remarried after two divorces. I have worked with women whose hearts' Desires were to change careers, or launch a children's non-profit, or start a transformational writing and book publishing business.
I have also worked with women whose Soul hunger was to revive the love and emotional closeness in their marriages, others who deeply wanted to have a baby and others who have been on a journey of healing from divorce, or healing abuse and trauma for a while, including religious trauma and generational patterns of abuse.
Some feel a compelling drive toward spiritual transformation and growth, seeking greater direct connection with the Feminine Divine, while others are in a faith transition moving beyond the religions and churches of their pasts.
The nature of a woman's Soul hunger is unique to each woman. Through Freeing the Heroine Within, I will help you take your own unique Heroine Journey of healing childhood trauma, toward the fulfillment of your Soul's unique deep Desire.
