Collective traumas, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and movements like "Woman, life, freedom," highlight the importance and necessity of prioritizing personal and collective health and well-being as fundamental human rights.
I am committed to continuing studies and training in techniques to help reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and stimulate creativity and intuition, ultimately promoting self-care rooted in anti-oppression and trauma-informed practices.
My hope for the future is to create communities that prioritize caring for one another, where we not only "put our own oxygen masks on first" but also extend a helping hand to address collective trauma.
