Healing Trauma from the Inside Out with Integrative Medicine and Nutrition

So many of my clients tell me they feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck. They have tried therapy or medication but still feel like something is missing. Trauma does not live only in the mind. It affects the body, the nervous system, digestion, hormones, and even our sense of purpose. Medication masks symptoms and adds a list of unwanted side effects.

That is why I am studying Integrative Medicine and Nutrition for PTSD and complex trauma and creating an online group based on the work of Dr. Leslie Korn. Her approach to healing PTSD and complex trauma combines integrative medicine, nutrition, and mind-body practices to create real and lasting change.

Why I Am Offering This Group

Research on Adverse Childhood Experiences shows that early adversity increases the risk for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, autoimmune disease, and addiction. Many of us have been living with the effects of trauma without realizing it.

By weaving nutrition, lifestyle changes, and gentle mind-body practices into trauma treatment, we can begin to calm the nervous system, restore healthy rhythms, and build resilience. This group is […]

In today’s world, the paths to healing are as diverse as the people who seek them. You might encounter a therapist specializing in one narrow field or a holistic practitioner who integrates multiple disciplines. Both approaches have value, but choosing the holistic path can unlock layers of healing that a single-focus approach might overlook. Here’s why this path may resonate more deeply with you.

Seeing the Whole You

A niche therapist often zooms in on one specific area—cognitive patterns, behavior, or trauma, for instance. While this focused attention can be powerful, it may treat only one branch of your wellness tree. A holistic practitioner, by contrast, sees the entire forest. They consider your emotional, physical, spiritual, and subconscious dimensions, creating a comprehensive plan to nurture your overall well-being. By addressing these interconnected aspects of self, you don’t just “solve a problem”—you evolve into your healthiest, most integrated version.

Healing Beyond Symptoms

Many people seek therapy when symptoms become unbearable—anxiety, depression, or chronic pain. Traditional niche therapists often target symptom relief, which is undoubtedly important. However, holistic wellness digs deeper, addressing root causes that might otherwise remain hidden. Limiting beliefs, unresolved emotional energy, or even […]

Energy psychology provides a compassionate and integrative approach to healing, one that works on all levels—mind, body, and soul. Techniques directly address the energetic patterns linked to trauma, phobias, anxiety, weight loss, relationship issues, and even financial challenges.

My journey began in my mid-30s when I started struggling with social interactions in a way I hadn’t before. I didn’t have issues with social anxiety in my teens or 20s. In fact, I had always been pretty outgoing and didn't feel too self-conscious in groups.

To truly maintain peace and joy during the holidays, boundaries need to be intact on all levels—conscious, unconscious, body, and soul. Intact boundaries create a sense of "I am me, and you are you." They protect your emotional energy, allowing you to stay true to yourself, even in challenging family situations.

Energy psychology offers an alternative approach that goes beyond talk therapy, working with the body's natural energy systems to help release and transform these heavy emotions. By addressing underlying blocks and shifting your energy, you can experience lasting relief and rediscover a sense of calm and joy.

Shame is the painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by your conscious awareness that you have done something wrong or foolish and that makes you wrong and foolish.  It is comprised of the deepest and innermost memories of disdain we can have for ourselves because it creates a barrier between us and others.

Past emotions like guilt, shame, or unresolved pain often become deeply rooted within, creating a protective barrier that manifests as physical weight.

When they’re no longer physically present, it’s natural to feel disoriented and deeply sad. This kind of grief is personal and often misunderstood, but it’s also an opportunity to honor the love you shared and nurture your healing journey.

Our childhood experiences profoundly shape the adults we become, particularly the relationships we form. For many women, unresolved parental wounds—whether from a distant mother, an absent father, or both—can manifest as deeply ingrained patterns that sabotage their ability to build healthy, fulfilling connections.
