“Embracing our stories with curiosity and compassion is a courageous, worthwhile endeavor.”
At the core of Trina’s work is the belief that inherent goodness and wisdom reside within every individual. Old wounds can sometimes give rise to parts of ourselves that carry pain or take on protective roles that disconnect us from our core self. Trina sees her role as guiding clients to explore and engage with these parts, as they move towards restored trust and reconnection with their truest selves. When we turn toward our pain rather than away from it, and allow our pain to be witnessed in the presence of safety, our bodies remember what we are already born knowing: we heal when we feel seen and supported by another safe human.
