TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE

As a trauma-informed practitioner, Maara aims to be compassionate and aware of clients’ experiences and how trauma can profoundly impact their lives. The effects can often result in a dysregulated nervous system, which can manifest as stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, fatigue and body pain. Acupuncture is an effective way to regulate the nervous system and help people move toward feeling more connected and deeply supported in their lives.
