💚 March 18 — We gather for our Grief Support Group, holding space for those navigating loss. Because real community isn’t just about celebrating the highs — it’s about supporting each other through the tender moments too.

No reservations required. Drop in at the Healing Center. Let us know if you need the address - just DM us!

We began our donation based monthly grief support group in January of 2025 with one simple intention: to offer support in a low-pressure, accessible, and affordable way—because life is hard, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier.

Most of all, we believe we are not meant to do this alone. We need each other.

Grief doesn’t only come from death. It can arise from many forms of loss—
divorce, job loss, economic uncertainty, empty nesting, aging, caring for older parents, loss of identity, or the loss of how life once was.

Quiet or unspoken changes can carry deep grief.

If you are in need of support, you are invited.
If you are looking for tools, shared understanding, or simply a place to sit with others who get it—you belong here.

In this week's episode, I’m joined by Dana Strickland, LPC, CCTP — a gifted trauma therapist whose journey from military service to holistic healing practitioner is nothing short of transformative.

Dana shares how her experiences shaped her path into clinical work and why traditional talk therapy wasn’t enough for the clients she served. Today, she blends:
✨ EMDR
✨ Brainspotting
✨ Reiki & energy work
✨ Somatic awareness
✨ Mindfulness
✨ Enneagram insight

Her integrative approach helps clients move beyond trauma by working with the body, the nervous system, and the energetic field — creating space for deep release, clarity, and embodied transformation.

We also explore her development of retreat-style Brainspotting intensives, designed to offer immersive and accelerated healing experiences.

Dana’s story is powerful, grounded, and full of wisdom for anyone seeking to understand trauma through a holistic lens.
