Dear Friends,
I love my job. Every day, I get to help amplify the voices of the incredible therapists and teachers we work with at Academy of Therapy Wisdom, sharing their wisdom with helpers like you who bring it to life in the therapy room.
There’s something deeply fulfilling about knowing that our collective efforts ripple outward, touching lives through the work you do with your clients.
I also count myself lucky to learn from these incredible teachers. Their insights have invited me into deeper connection with myself, helping me pause and notice, to integrate somatic practices that bring me back to balance, to learn how to regulate, and to move through life with a little more compassion.
For me, the greatest gift has been sharing these lessons with my daughters (one of whom is the owner of the little hands in the photo above); showing them how to name what they feel, regulate their emotions, and care for their inner world with kindness.
As our team maps out the year ahead, it’s been exciting to connect with new presenters and welcome back familiar faces. The conversations we’re having make it clear that the rest of this year and into 2026 there are going to be plenty of powerful opportunities for learning and growth.
What’s especially meaningful is that so many of these new connections have come from you. Therapists in our community have reached out with requests, introductions, and heartfelt suggestions, helping us shape the future.
We’re deeply grateful for that collaboration! It’s what keeps our offerings so alive and relevant.
If there’s ever been a moment where you’ve thought, “I wish they would offer…”, please tell us! Whether it’s a specific teacher, topic, or skill you’d love to deepen, your input helps us find and partner with the voices that matter most to you. Together, we can keep expanding this circle of wisdom and care.
It’s an honor to walk alongside a community that’s so passionate about learning, healing, and transformation. Your curiosity and commitment inspire everything we do.
Stay tuned, because there’s so much more wisdom, connection, and inspiration coming your way soon, and I am so excited to be a part of it!
