Welcome Home. I’m So Glad You’re Here.
Supporting individuals and organizations with therapeutic, trauma-informed coaching and tailored workshops, grounded in somatic practices that nurture post-traumatic growth, well-being, and the journey home to one’s innate self.
At the heart of this work is Abri’s belief that there is nothing to fix within us. The more we become our own friend, and learn to identify and cultivate the supports and conditions we need, the more aligned and present we can become.

“At the very heart of ‘belonging’ is the word ‘long.’ To be-long to something is to stay with it for the long haul. It is an active choice we make to a relationship, to a place, to our body, to a life because we value it. Even knowing that it may not be all that we hope it to be, we are keeping the long view of what is possible, and our life becomes an offering to making it so.”
