You Carry a Story
Worth Knowing

Do you long to understand how your past has shaped you and desire to experience healing in a safe supportive space?  

Unprocessed stories still shape us.

Stories of harm and heartache leave a lasting impact on our body, heart, and mind. They influence how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we experience faith.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

~ Maya Angelou
