People grow and heal when they are seen, heard & understood…
Our beautiful humanity connects us as individuals, families, communities, and globally. Never more than any other time in our lives have we experienced this deep resonance. Toxic stress, trauma and struggle affects everyone at one times or another in their lives; or we know someone who it effects. At Grace Tree we are dedicated to serve those with somatic symptoms from past/present challenging experiences stored in the body. We offer complementary neurosomatic programs to increase brain, nervous system health and wellness for anyone who may find themselves struggling. We believe in strength-based resilience to embody restorative trauma resolution through grace and inspired hope to reach our humanity’s full potential in life.
The Grace Tree Foundation and our sister organization Soma Collective Yoga Therapy together are committed in investing our expertise and resources to achieve a platform of experiential embodied somatic learning to lean into holistic support to increase health, wellness and vibrancy. We’ve been supporting our community in a variety of ways, measuring our success not by monetary size but by more qualitative measurements such as the scale and effectiveness of our efforts in serving underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized communities who normally would not have access to trauma specialized neurosomatic services.
Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the dangerous event itself, symptoms arise when “residual uncompleted energy” from the experience isn’t discharged from the body. This energy remains stuck in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on all of our bodies layers which include our mind. Wild animals have the ability to instinctively “shake off” this excess energy. The key for humans in completing traumatic symptoms lies in our being able to mirror wild animals in this way through safe nervous system support.
Together with medical, mental health, community support, and trauma trained somatic movement professionals we make up an organization like no other that incorporates neurobiological science for the"Top Down/Bottom Up" trauma renegotiation and recovery experiences. Grace Tree’s neurosomatic trauma specialized care organization is in the trenches as servant leaders in our community, bringing experiential and embodied resources to anyone who may be seeking support. Knowing the importance of the gifts we have been entrusted with, and in many cases our team of professionals have experience first hand trauma recovery and renegotiation to serve survivors with open hearts, empathic witnessing and up-to-date educational resources.
