TRAUMA WORK: Is Community the Missing Piece? with Heart Lab Graduates Lauren Sessa + Jackie Chuang
Sep 08, 2021
It’s official, the doors to The Heart Lab are open for one last time in 2021. I could sit here and chatter at you about what it’s all about, but honestly, these two women say it better than I can. Because they’ve felt the transformations that happen when a community of aligned women come together.
Gathering in Circles is something that our feminine ancestors knew how to do, but in our modern world, these opportunities to gather and truly open up and reveal ourselves is rare. When we gather in a container rooted in the power of our femininity, it is not to create a hierarchy or competition, it is simply to witness, to hold and to nurture one another so we can each uncover our own sovereign strength.
Jackie Chuang and Lauren Sessa are graduates of the 2020 Circle of The Heart Lab and they are here to share what they learned from the program, but most importantly, they are here to share what they learned from sharing their own stories and witnessing each other in our weekly group coaching ceremonies.

I facilitate conversations through 1:1 coaching and various community offerings to guide curious humans to remember their True Self - who they are beyond the conditioning, the "shoulds", the trauma stories + the overriding of desires. If you need permission to step into the wholeness of your emotions and Being, let me show you that you’ve been the one holding the pen.
