Nov 23: Healing PTSD & Trauma with Dr. Rochelle Calvert

Heal Your Soul with Nature, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy

With the drama and crises of the past five years, it’s no wonder so many Americans are feeling stressed, distressed, depressed, and traumatized.

How can you heal trauma and PTSD? How can you pull yourself back from feeling broken, to feeling good about yourself and life? How can you become calmer, more present, more in control, more joyful?
