The Empowerment Protocol

People often ask Lindsey HOW she can do what she does.  She's buried three siblings, a parent, she's been fired for whistleblowing and exposing drug/human trafficking (as featured in The Fort Bragg Cartel), she's survived assault, and she's navigated financial ruin....all while enduring death threats from local Neo-Nazi's, KKK Members, and Church Leaders.

Any one of those things could be enough to make someone decide to throw in the towel.  But Lindsey keeps shining, as the Glitter Goddess we all know her to be.  

To do all this, she keeps an AGGRESSIVE self-care plan that she happily shares with anyone who wants to learn more.    

Using evidence-based techniques, Lindsey takes you on a journey that she had to wander through on her own.  She had to learn, dig, research, try, and fail.  Her hope is to share with you what she learned and help you discover your own unique pattern so that you can walk thru a litter quicker than she did.  

As we process trauma through the mind, we must process it through the body.

Whether we’ve been in a vehicle accident, lost a loved one, or anything in between, our body keeps the score. Our nervous system is wired like branches of tree. And when we experience a traumatic event, those branches get pruned.

But those branches can regrow, and that’s what we focus on with our Empowerment Protocols. By using these evidence-based modalities (as described in The Body Keeps the Score), we offer self-regulation techniques that help each client process trauma through the body.

Over this 6-week series, Lindsey will be guiding you through classroom instruction to help you understand the biomechanics of trauma, educating you on how your brain and nervous system responds to various events. From there, she will guide you through movement techniques and meditative practices that help integrate the trauma helping you to calm the nervous system and move past blockages that may have been holding you back.

This is an excellent complement to any talk therapy that one may be engaged in.  But just know, that you do not have to talk about your struggle to participate in this course.  You will be given information in a classroom setting and get to choose how you apply that information in a way that works best for YOU and your circumstances.
