Our Approach
We believe that organizations function best when staff feel supported, clients feel truly seen, and systems are designed with humanity at the core. Our consulting integrates:
Polyvagal and somatic frameworks
Trauma-informed practices
Evidence-based modalities (CBT, ACT, DBT skills, Narrative, MBSR)
Inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming principles
