Taryn’s most passionate projects are always centered around the empowerment of women.  She quickly learned that many times, trauma is at the root of what holds women back.  Taryn’s style centers around building a relationship of trust, creating a safe space where laughter, tears, and stories of both success and sorrow are easily shared.  Since the death of her husband Jim, and working through grief herself, she finds great comfort in helping others move through grief, disappointment, fear, change and emotional upheaval. 

Taryn Moore is the founder of the Barefoot Woman Academy offering personal coaching and powerful online programs and trainings to women looking to embody their most empowered Self.

Pat  Burrows  decided to fulfill her passion for being of service to others and healing others after a fruitful career as a Nurse, CFO and Administrator. While working with women as a Women’s Empowerment Coach, she realized that the “missing piece” of her coaching practice was the ability to help the client release traumatic memories and emotions. The Gentle Trauma Release Method© has become the answer to her prayers. As a certified Gentle Trauma Release© Practitioner, Pat can now assist others to fully empower themselves.

Pat has developed a strong interest in serving the healing community (doctors, nurses and other health practitioners), in addition to their patients and family members, many whom have been deeply affected by the traumas of isolation, illness, incapacitation, and even death in some cases. They have been working hard to care for their patients, but they often have been without access to reliable treatment protocols, procedures or medications. 

Pat’s primary mission is to provide Gentle Trauma Release to anyone who is suffering from symptoms of trauma in their life, both past and present.  At 68 years young, Pat believes that her own life challenges and her prior training, combined with her compassion, empathy and intuition, give her a much broader perspective and enable her to bring an exceptional level of healing to her clients. Pat is able to offer her clients the tools necessary to re-establish a sense of wellbeing, safety, harmony and self-empowerment. Pat is also a certified Oracle Guide and Tarot Adviser.

Tracey Thorpe  is certified Gentle Trauma Release© Practitioner and Master Empowerment Coach. She is also our Professor of Business, here at the Gentle Trauma Release Institute.

Tracey believes we all have a purpose and for many, that purpose is revealed upon a journey of self-discovery. With an unwavering commitment to authenticity and soulful alignment, our purpose comes to life. However, there are blockages that we must work through and heal from, and one of the most critical blockages is trauma.

In her practice, Tracey understands that traumatic memories and emotions and the inherent energy of such gets trapped in the body. Trauma can negatively impact our thoughts, emotions, behavior, and our overall wellbeing. Trauma can cause us to bury our true authentic selves and take on an ego-driven persona. 

Tracey’s philosophy is that our true passions and purpose cannot be revealed in their entirety when we suffer with trauma, and as a result, we do not experience the level of joy, happiness and fulfillment that is available to us all. 

The Gentle Trauma Release Method© is designed to treat trauma where it resides, in the body! The method is gentle, the effects are immediate and long lasting, and most of all, it truly works! Join Tracey in a one of kind healing journey that will forever change your life!

 Donna Vieira  has always been intrigued by life’s big questions and fascinated by the stages of spiritual growth and development people experience. Why are we here? What is our purpose? Such lofty questions have been a driving force for as long as she can remember.

Donna’s dedication to yoga, meditation, Reiki and Astrology date back to a time long before they became mainstream. For more than 50 years, Donna’s insatiable curiosity and thirst for answers and learning often took her off the beaten track to explore cultural and indigenous rituals and traditions around the world, a passion she shared as a travel writer. Feeling called upon to share her knowledge and experiences on a more personal level, Donna followed her heart and obtained her certification as an Empowerment Coach for Women at the SWAT Institute.

From there, she went on to become a certified Gentle Trauma Release© Practitioner through the Gentle Trauma Release Institute, a gift she wholeheartedly believes to be a sure-fire recipe for emotional freedom. Today, she gently weaves her astrological skills into her sessions with clients.  

A lifetime of experiences taught Donna to trust her heart and to follow her passions regardless of what others think. It’s a lesson she hopes to nurture in her clients as they discover and explore their path and purpose on their own Starstruck Journey. She considers it an honour to be the client’s personal mentor and cheerleader as they gain awareness and clarity regarding the choices they have and realize how truly powerful they are capable of becoming.

Janina Schick  has always been driven to fully explore and understand the human experience and the interconnection of body mind and soul. With her degree in Holistic Health Therapies, she has comprehensive knowledge of health and wellbeing. Janina is trained in numerous healing modalities, including Craniosacral Therapy, Aromatherapy, Reiki, Mindfulness and more. 

Janina`s mission is to support and empower others to grow in self-awareness and understanding of themselves so that they can create and maintain long-lasting health and well-being. She acknowledges, that nothing we experience is random, but rather the result of being multidimensional beings, where our physical body, emotions, mind, and soul communicate with each other, always striving for our highest good and potential.

When we get out of balance, our body, mind, and soul present us with different symptoms. By understanding and honoring these symptoms and using them as a guide, we can recognize what lies beyond and can create a healthy life, where fulfillment, joy, and authenticity build the foundation.
