Own Your Family’s Story Of Healing

Hey Parents & Caregivers, 

Everyone has a story. We are constantly telling stories, making them up in our heads all the time. We tell the story of our successes, as well as our stumbles. …And someday, you, your child, and your family will tell the story of trauma and healing. How would you like that story to go? 

Will it be a story of endless suffering, pain, and struggle? Will it be a story told from a place of helplessness and hopelessness? Will it be a story of despair and constant struggle?  

Or will it be a story of connection? Of meaning, and hope, and determination? Could it be a story of collective bravery and striving? Will it be a story that bonds you? Will it be a story you can feel proud of? 

Often the stories told that feel hopeless and helpless are the ones where we feel a lack of control. And the stories told of hope, bravery and overcoming, are the ones where we stepped into great discomfort and focused in on what we COULD control.  

I want to help you and your family tell a story that you can feel proud of. I want you to feel equipped with what you need to walk the journey of healing trauma in a way that gives hope and leads to increased connection. I want you to feel empowered to take the reins of your family’s story, to move from a place of being held hostage by the influences of trauma in your child’s and family’s life, to a place of influence over the plot line.  

Here's to writing our own stories and being the creators of our own endings. 

Journeying alongside you,

~ Heather
