Restoration is Our Birthright

Healing is sacred and deeply personal. Whether you're navigating the weight of trauma, reconnecting with your inner self, or longing for a space where your whole being is honored, you are welcome here.

Rising Self Wellness is a holistic therapy practice dedicated to supporting trauma recovery through compassion, embodiment, and deep presence. Here, healing is understood as a restorative process that honors the whole person. We approach trauma as an experience that can leave us feeling fragmented, yet still full of beauty, history, and inner strength. Our work centers on reconnecting with the body, nurturing the nervous system, and creating a safe space where you can be genuinely witnessed.

Through holistic psychotherapy, somatic practices, breathwork, sound healing, and restorative workshops, we support clients in returning to themselves with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been.
