Description

Welcome to the Healing Begins on the Inside Podcast, a safe space where your story is honored, your experience is valued, and your journey towards healing is supported.  

Some of us became helpers because we had to. We learned to read rooms, manage crises, and hold space for everyone else… and somewhere along the way, we forgot that our own bodies were keeping score.

I’m Dena, Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach, Integrative Health Coach, Yoga Instructor and Somatic Educator. I’m also an adoptive mama and caregiver, walking my own path through the realities of chronic stress, caregiving, trauma, and the quiet weight of holding it all together.

Healing Begins on the Inside is for caregivers, cycle breakers, and the helpers who are exhausted, especially those caring for loved ones with neurodegenerative conditions, parenting autistic children, or supporting aging parents while still trying to stay afloat themselves.

Here, we explore what it means to heal when you’re also the one holding everyone else...through body-led practices, nervous system support, honest conversations, and the kind of compassion that meets you where you actually are.
