Trauma Healing | Mind-Body Coaching with Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®
We repeat what we
don't repair.
Real change doesn’t come from trying harder — it comes from going deeper.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing has worked…
you’re not alone.
What do you want to change, diminish or grow?
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing you’ve tried is actually working?
You’re not alone.
I’ve worked with people who have done all the “right” things - therapy, self-help, pushing through - and still feel like something isn’t shifting at the root.
That’s because what holds us back isn’t just in our thoughts… it lives in the body and the subconscious.
That’s where this work comes in.
Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® (SMGI®) is a gentle, body-based approach that helps you access and release what’s been keeping you stuck - without forcing, reliving, or trying to figure it all out.
This is a special type of hypnosis where you are aware, present, and in control the entire time.
It’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with:
-
unresolved trauma
-
chronic stress or anxiety
-
emotional patterns you can’t seem to break
-
or just a feeling that something is “off” and you can’t quite explain it
Each session is tailored to you - your goals, your pace, your experience.
This isn’t about talking more.
It’s about creating real change where it actually happens.
If you’ve tried other things and still feel stuck, there’s a reason.
And there is another way.

Why Work With Me?
With over 30 years in healthcare, I’ve seen firsthand that insight alone doesn’t always create change.
People understand their patterns… but still feel stuck.
That’s what led me to this work.
I combine my clinical background with Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® (SMGI®) to help you access what’s happening beneath the surface - where real change actually happens.
Along with my training, I bring something that can’t be taught - a deep level of intuition and the ability to attune to what’s going on in your body and subconscious in real time.
That means your sessions aren’t scripted or one-size-fits-all.
They’re guided by you, your system, and what’s ready to shift.
I’ve been personally trained by the creator of SMGI®, Gina Vance, and am one of a small number of certified practitioners carrying this work forward.
If you’ve tried other approaches and still feel like something is missing… this may be the piece you haven’t accessed yet.
