SOMATIC SCAR AND TRAUMA RESOLUTION
Learn to build self-trust, safety, and belonging within your own body.
Scars - and trauma patterns - are portals. They are messengers. Do you know what they're saying?
Scars limit the expression of your full human potential in physical and emotional ways. Scars cause pain, numbness, and stiffness by compressing your nerves, slowing circulation, and preventing lymph drainage.
Emotional scars diminish you, too. They restrict your growth and development while they block your access to the life you dream of.
Everyone with a body has a scar of one kind or another, but conventional medicine knows little and does even less when it comes to scars and their treatment. A scar is not a life sentence! It is an opportunity, an invitation for growth and healing. This is where STREAM comes in!
STREAM (Scar Tissue Remediation, Education, and Management) offers lasting relief and resolution of these holding patterns in your body, behavior, and relationships. Using the latest science of the nervous system and a whole body approach to wellness, we find, access, and unlock the densities so you can FEEL, CREATE, LOVE, MOVE, and BE all that you are meant to be in this lifetime.

STREAM (Scar Tissue Remediation, Education, and Management) is an incredibly effective interdisciplinary approach to healing, pioneered by Ellen Heed, PhD, who did her doctoral research on how scars form and how the body can heal them. We take a multimodal approach based on neuroscience, anatomy, a profound understanding of scar tissue, and the biophysiology of scar resolution and trauma and nervous system regulation and repair.
Using STREAM, I have helped hundreds of clients permanently resolve scars and trauma from inuries, surgeries, sexual assault, inflammatory conditions, chronic pain, painful sex, TMJ, and a host of other deeply held blocks and patterns.
STREAM addresses all of these. Compassionately. Gently. At your pace, and with lasting results. Together, we learn how multiple influences and medicines move through your body and your life, and how to honor and nourish sensitivity as the foundation of your clear authentic expression of pleasure, power, integrity, and embodied sovereignty.
MY STORY WITH STREAM
I began this work of studying, mapping, and resolving scars and trauma in 2018. It is my great privilege to have guided hundreds of clients like you in listening to your body’s innate primordial intelligence, and address and clear held patterns and imbalances in a lasting and sustainable way.
Couples: I teach you how to listen in this way, to one another, while holding presence with your own experience.
In every session, I weave in all the wisdom and experience of over ten years of study and clinical practice in Sexological Bodywork, Erotic Blueprint Coaching, mythosomatic awareness, ceremony, ritual, Devotional Kink, and Relationship Coaching. In each and every session, we go at your pace, following your body’s way. I meet you where you are, with what will most support your growth and evolution.
Using STREAM, I can help you map, metabolize, and integrate:
- Sexual trauma, including emotional, relational, and physical scars from childhood sexual trauma, parental/familial sexual abuse, ritual abuse, and trafficking
- CPTSD - Early childhood trauma from neglect and/or physical or verbal abuse
- Generational patterns of self-abandonment and denial
- Medical trauma from past surgeries or injuries
- Chronic pelvic and lower back tension
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
- Painful sex: vagiismus, tightness, and scars from childbirth injuries (C-Section, episiotomy)
- Struggles with setting boundaries and claiming your voice and truth (embodied soveignty)
- Health and vitality during and after perimenopause and menopause
Imbalances, scars, and traumas in the body, can also result from forces beyond our personal experience:
• Transpersonal (mytho-somatic, psycho-spiritual, elemental, Energetic, seasonal, unconscious somatic anniversaries of individual or collective events, and spiritual influences)
• Collective (societal systems such as racism and capitalism, and collective traumas such as the loss of a homeland, the Holocaust, wars, and famines),
• Generational (the influence of epigenetics, in utero influences through the body of the mother, and generational postural and holding patterns that follow through family bloodlines).
Sometimes, you can feel the presence of a trauma or scar, especially an unseen one, and yet cannot recall any specific experience around it. This may be because it was created over time, in repeated subtle ways (like chronic neglect or denial), perhaps even before you were born. You may not have experienced it directly, but carry it from your mother, a grandparent, or a lineage pattern.
When we listen to the body in STREAM, all of these influences may enter the session: mythic, ancestral, archetypal. It becomes dreamwork, in a sense: working with all the bodies, including the dreambody. (As understood by Jung, Arnold Mindell, and present in many ancient cosmologies, shamanistic practices, and healing modalities.)
In STREAM, we work directly with the Autonomic Nervous System, the Unconscious, which means we are delving into realms beyond rational comprehension, into the very heart of the mystery of Soma – of what it is to be alive and conscious in a body.
All of these influences can help with the work of releasing what is held, telling the stories that need to be voiced, completing the movements or sounds or patterns that need to be witnessed in order for your body to come into wholeness. This is generational healing at its very core.
