Get to know Trish…

I have been curious about everything since I was a little girl walking barefoot in the grass and talking to the trees in my backyard. My connection to nature and animals was as real to me as those with my family and friends. This propelled me to fall in love with science, the human body, and drew me to medical school 30 years ago.

This curiosity for life that led me to become a doctor also helped me leave several years later. I just couldn’t seem to accept the idea that to be a physician, I had to deny all the parts of myself that made me human… like being a mom, taking care of my body, and having the time to be outside in nature.

Working over 100 hours a week in high stress conditions and then coming home to the demands of family and an abusive marriage began to take it’s toll.

I became depressed, anxious, and physically ill. It was just a matter of time before I quit and chose instead to focus on raising my children and trying to save my marriage.

Life definitely felt a little less overwhelming, but now I actually had time to feel and see the pain and dysfunction that I had built a marriage and family on.

Trauma was not a word that was used at that time to describe anything but a massive physical injury like a car crash. But the more time passed and other life events were pilled on, my underlying trauma and it’s sources surfaced and I began to contemplate leaving this world.

One very dark night, when I was on the verge of taking my life, I cried out to a god I had yet to know and prayed, “If you are real and can rescue me from this mess, I will give you my life.” I crawled back into bed feeling foolish and hopeless when the room around me was filled with light and a warmth flooded my body.

I fell asleep and when I woke up the next day I was not the same person.

I took my renewed sense of hope and deep gratitude of the mystery of what I experienced, left my painful marriage, and found myself attending a Christian church. For the next 15 years I studied every word of the Bible and learned from pastors, books, podcasts, and conferences.

I followed everything I was taught and lived a very passionate life serving God.

However, after several years I once again found myself exhausted, sick, and depressed. How could this be? I was doing everything I knew to do in order to live a life that God desired.

Reawakened by my curiosity, I began to ask questions I hadn’t felt free to ask before and I started to see inconsistencies in the Bible and the ways I was taught. Pastors and leaders I had once respected began to be exposed for indiscretion and harm they were causing to others.

Once again the foundation I had been building my life on began to crumble and I found myself leaving the community and belief system I loved.

And this time, I was certain that God was the one leading me out. Instead of worshipping in a church, I was invited to commune with nature and experience ancient practices like yoga, acupuncture, astrology, Reiki, and breathwork. My heart was awakened and I was reminded that Spirit was everywhere… within me and all around.

The divine used these things to help uncover layers of deeply buried pain and trauma and over time I was able to experience healing and freedom in my body, mind, and soul resulting in massive shifts in all areas of my life.

From all that I was learning and experiencing, I began helping others in their healing journey eventually creating my own healing and coaching practice.

Over the years I have added more education and training so that I am best able to serve from a trauma-informed, embodied perspective because I strongly believe that the body contains divine innate wisdom and capacity for healing and it’s simply our job to understand what it needs to do so.

Through this time I have been inspired to create an online trauma-informed healing arts school, LuvWerk. It is in this space that I find my greatest joy as I am able to bring together my life’s experiences, gifts, and passions to inspire others to come home to their truest selves and live a life fully connected to their body and soul.

It’d LUV to help you remember the real you!

Luv from my clients...

  • I have known Trish for over 15 years, and anything I say would not do justice to the gift she has been to me. I would not be the person I am, learning to walk in love for myself and others, seeking to know the Source of love apart from religion, and enjoying healthy boundaries in my marriage and relationships, without her influence. Trish has shown me unconditional love, cheered me on, and walked with me through the best and worst times of my life. Her wisdom, bravery, honesty, love, acceptance, and ability to clearly articulate the deepest feelings and concepts of life will bless you to no end! I can’t say how much I love this woman.

  • There’s something about Trish that brings forth your divine and honest self. Her intuitive spirit has you feeling so welcomed and loved. When doing a session with her, her state of being supports you wherever you are at and allows you to fully let go and be the real you. Her knowledge of the body both spiritually and scientifically allows for your greatest expression to come out each and every time and for that I am grateful for knowing and working with her. I’ve been a body worker for 20 years and the feeling of safety I have with Trish is by far nothing like I have experienced with anyone else.

  • If you’re looking for guidance, if life feels overwhelming or you’re unsure how to navigate the challenges that come your way, or if you simply want to experience life more fully, I urge you to set up an appointment with Trish right now. You won’t regret it!
