In this powerful and enlightening episode, Dee Davidson is joined by Lori, a Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Coach and owner of
State of Grace Wellness in Uxbridge, MA. Lori shares her incredible journey of overcoming childhood sexual abuse, crippling anxiety, and chronic illness, and how Eastern Medicine and alternative healing modalities transformed her life.
With over 20 years of experience, Lori guides clients in healing on the mind, body, spirit, and soul levels. Her compassionate empowerment approach blends Trauma Recovery Coaching, Acupressure Shiatsu Therapy, Yoga Therapy, Sound Therapy, and Energy Work (Reiki and Lovelight Vibrational Healing).
Topics we’ll explore:
- What is trauma? An overview of its aftereffects. You may have experienced trauma and are unaware you did.
- The biological effects of trauma – how trauma impacts the brain, nervous system, and our ability to cope and physically heal.
- Polyvagal Theory and the Window of Tolerance – understanding fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses.
- Relational effects of trauma – how trauma influences our connections with others and decisions we make for our own healthy self.
- Healing pathways – combining coaching, energy work, and yoga to release stored emotions, balance energy, and restore flow. Why it's important to do this type of inner work alongside functional lab testing.
Lori will also share actionable tips for nervous system regulation, managing emotions, and the importance of addressing energy imbalances through Chakras, meridians, and mindful movement.
