Tao of Trauma

Chelsea practices a gentle healing method inspired by the teachings of Aliane Duncan, a licensed acupuncturist and somatic experiencing practitioner. Tao of Trauma focuses on bodily sensations and sensory experiences, rather than verbal recounting of traumatic events. Chelsea offers physical contact through the screen of telemedicine in addition to mindfulness to help clients navigate their feelings and restore balance within their nervous systems.

This holistic approach not only aims to alleviate symptoms but also fosters personal growth, secure attachments, and self-care practices.

Session Structure and Goals

Sessions are tailored to individual needs and prioritize client autonomy. They involve establishing consent, exploring bodily sensations, and gradually expanding the client's capacity to manage stress in a safe and supportive environment.

The goal is to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, complete interrupted self-protective responses, and cultivate resilience and self-awareness. Tao of Trauma is not psychotherapy or massage. Please visit our FAQ page for more information.
