A grounded approach to restoration

Care, pacing, respect, and the body’s own intelligence stay central to how this work is offered. Here is the training it rests on.

Real training, and the reason for it

I came to this work as a client long before I offered it as a practitioner. Everything I trained in afterward was built on that ground. *Training Certified in NEST, Neuro Emotional Somatic Trust, under Dr. Angela Martin-King Creator of the Rooted Resilience Method™ and the 7 Gateways Garden Archetypes framework Trained in holistic nutrition and Ayurvedic lifestyle practices Practitioner on the iMRS Prime Hybrid PEMF system

*Background Twelve years in healthcare administration, including HIPAA compliant documentation and patient support Founder of Vital Earth Living, which began as a farm box business in Arroyo Grande Years of off grid living in Humboldt, which taught me more about pacing than any course did
