One-on-one trauma healing through TIMBo, a Trauma-informed, holistic somatic-based mindfulness approach to healing trauma.

TIMBo facilitates personal growth that can help individuals navigate life’s tensions through: improved behavioral self-regulation through mindfulness; a self-compassionate cognitive understanding of the human organism’s survival response; social-emotional growth that promotes compassionate attunement to self and others; contemplative skills that strengthen the sense of self and promote confidence in relationships; and development of a resilient worldview that enables individuals to interact with life’s problems with composure and confidence.

TIMBo combines simple yoga-like movements, relaxation breathing, guided meditation (with optional hands on healing), and a workbook-based approach to explore and better understand the impact of emotions such as fear, guilt, shame, and grief.

The TIMBo program is an eight or sixteen week commitment. Each session is 60-75 minutes - $150 session

Trauma Responsive Consulting- Emily has brought her expertise in trauma and trauma responsive practices to 200 and 300 hour yoga teacher trainings at Boston based yoga studios - Coolidge Yoga, Down Under School of Yoga, and Mission Hill Yoga. In addition, she has developed specific trauma responsive protocols in somatic based public health interventions for local and international non-profits. Emily has implemented trauma responsive yin yoga teacher trainings and community facilitator trainings.

Emily goes beyond the cognitive approach common in trauma informed protocols to deeply embed practical, actionable skills and methods for mitigating against trauma responses and addressing them compassionately and effectively should they occur.

Client Testimonials

“Emily has created an incredible, empowering, safe, informative, trauma-informed Yin Yoga training. As a therapist in mental health, I’m always taking into consideration that yoga can bring up A LOT in both body and mind; I’m also acutely aware of how touch can be helpful or a hinderance in the yoga space.” - Shelby

“Emily’s approach to a trauma-informed, safe practice is everything I hoped it would be; she eloquently and thoughtfully approaches her teaching in a way that respects the autonomy of the individual and offers space for somatic processing without trying to fix whatever arises within the student. I wholeheartedly agree with her style and feel so lucky to have pursued another yoga certification under her compassionate, invaluable guidance.” - Josephine
