Soulstar Consulting

Too many designations, accreditations and courses aimed at the personal development, wellness and financial professions are missing the crucial element of trauma education and the importance of a trauma-informed approach. At best, this leads to frustrated clients; confused by a lack of progress or results. At worst, this leads to clients left more traumatized and mistrusting of wellness and finance professionals when they need them most. Trauma-informed care means using choice-based language, nervous system regulation tools and techniques, slowing down when needed and providing ongoing opportunities for consent and much more. Offering trauma-informed education and care is one approach in the eco-system of trauma education and trauma-informed practice available today. I’m passionate about helping my colleagues and collaborators become really good at their work by being trauma-informed. My training and experience allow me to offer an understanding of what trauma is, its iterations and impacts, the ScienceLITE of the nervous system and brain function. I teach them how to create trust and safety through language and consent, how and when to slow down and harm reduction and repair techniques. I’m proud to be part of a web of trauma-informed clinicians, therapists, somatic practitioners and bodyworkers whom I can refer to when required. I believe in reimagining (while existing under) capitalism, repairing the damage colonization continues to inflict and rejecting white supremacy. When my privilege intersects with another’s marginalization, it is my job to lift them up and stand with them.
