A treasure for any somatic psychotherapist or seeker of trauma healing. Dr. Schwartz elegantly guides the selfdiscovery process by integrating two powerful healing systems. The practical application of yoga, the ancient body wisdom practice, along with the contemporary neurophysiological model of trauma recovery, is an effective offering. This traumainformed lens empowers the inner healer in ways that are both gentle and transformative. These precise and accessible practices will benefit wellbeing and enhance the skill set of any clinician who values somatic therapies.

Dr. Arielle Schwartz goes far beyond most practitioners and serves individuals who have experienced trauma in remarkable and impactful ways. Over the past few years, as a practitioner, I have absorbed, participated in, and benefited from her expertise in posttraumatic growth and resilience. From her body of work, Arielle gently and compassionately integrates effective and lifechanging tools to heal trauma.

Dr. Schwartz guides us into a field of healing practices and possibilities founded in a resilientinformed approach. She offers portals into the untold and hidden stories of pain that live in the nervous system and the biology of people affected by chronic traumatization. She reminds us of the power and strength that lie in the core of human existence and puts us in touch with our inner capabilities.
