Hi, I’m Laura Phoenix.
I’m intimately familiar with the pain of relational trauma because it nearly killed me.
I know things now that I couldn’t see from the depths of my own pain. I’m well trained and practiced in helping to shift nervous systems from overwhelm to empowered possibility.
I teach folks to use the same tools that worked for me, and I’ve helped thousands of people.
I understand how trauma hurts; I’ve been there too.
Feel better.
“Dealing with stressors that trigger trauma I had long been blocking out made me feel physically ill, I couldn’t sleep, and I was shutting down.
After working with Laura, I can deal with the triggers and not shut down or panic.”
Freedom. Power. Safety.
It’s possible.
Ways I support people:
One on One
Direct support addressing your specific, individual needs and goals. It’s rather like therapy for your body. You get my undivided attention and we work as a team on your healing.
Group classes
Group classes give you access to trauma-informed teaching while offering more frequent practice in supportive community. Classes are safely online and include check-in time.
Programs for organizations
Support tailored to your specific group enhances cohesion. I’ve served hospitals, corporate offices, support groups, residential communities and military settings.
