My Story
Hi, I'm Brooke!
I spent 10 years learning how to overcome complex PTSD. I found myself disappointed with the mental health system because I was offered band-aids where I wanted real solutions.
In order to get the healing I needed, I studied how stress affects the human mind, body, emotion, and behavior. More importantly, I learned what skills, practices, and supports would actually help me live in the present. Through this process, I was amazed to find that I could begin to focus, find joy, have fun, heal relationships, break unhealthy food patterns, and follow through with the things I set out to do.
I am passionate about sharing these tools with others who are ready to do the same.

My Approach
Neuroscience shows us that our bodies and brains are meant for wholeness. When we are not experiencing this in our lives, it means something is blocking what is natural. That blockage is caused by stressors.
There are two types of stressors: A-Stressors and B-Stressors. B-Stressors are the typical ideas you may have about stress. The experiences, real or imagined, that negatively impact our wellbeing. They are the bad things that happen to us. Common B-Stressors include things like work stress, unhealthy relationships, bad habits, community disasters, and more.
A-Stressors are harder to recognize. They are the absence of the things we really need to thrive. Examples include feeling heard, seen, known, believed in, and having others tell you what is good about you. These stressors frequently go unacknowledged because they are foreign to us. We may not even recognize their absence or importance.
My skills for stress-less living are meant to help you respond to both types of stressors. They give you tools to resolve problems that were created by B-Stressors. They also give you the opportunity to identify and fulfill the needs A-Stressors left behind.
