Mission Statement
We are an apostolic business that equips professional practitioners in the body of Christ to offer Trauma Gates™ Therapy to people suffering from the somatic effects of trauma. Through this faith-based service, our clients can release trauma from the cellular memory of their body and develop new neuropathways of connection for the mind, body (and spirit). The “new experience” of connection ushers in a sense of peace, and the presence of Jehovah Rapha, God our healer, in an atmosphere of safety and reconciliation between the mind, body, and Spirit.
What is Trauma Gates™?
Trauma Gates™ is a faith based advanced, somatic therapy for professional body workers proficient in their field. It is a science-based process that uses a series of proven resiliency and self-regulation techniques to help unwind the nervous system allowing the release of trauma from the cellular memory of the body. By providing a safe environment to connect with memories and pain stuck in the body’s cells the client unwinds creating a “new experience” with emotions, sensational expressions, and movement of their body.
By safely releasing incomplete trauma cycles from the past the client can slowly and gently rebuild the connection between their mind, body and spirit. Trauma is released from the cellular memory, new neuropathways are developed, and integration of the mind and body takes place without retraumatizing the person. The focus is on the body’s somatic response, the sensations, not the cognitive memory and emotions of the trauma story. Through rebuilding what had been shattered from past events the client is empowered with revenant awareness of the body and new sense of identity that feels safe and free! Trauma Gates™ is performed in a series of ten sessions, once a week for ten weeks. Some clients may require more sessions depending on their level of trauma. The client remains fully clothed and has complete control of the process through choice, perception of safety, and boundary awareness.
It is Christian faith-based in principle.

What is our power and authority as followers of Christ?
God is our healer. We have the privilege to help guide clients through the safe, gentle unwinding of their nervous system to release trauma that has been stuck in the cellular memory of the body. The body being the Temple of the Holy Spirit is allowed a “new experience” that is empowering and reverently protected by the Trauma Gates™ practitioner. Through awareness of sensational responses and freedom of movement neuropathways of connection between the mind and body are developed. The client realizes their personal power, authority, and sense of self to bring their body into alignment with who God says they are and the design of heaven!
Who are Trauma Gates Practitioners?
As Trauma Gates™ practitioners we are followers of Jesus Christ and know Him as the only son of God, Lord, and Savior, and Jehovah Rapha, God that heals. We understand our Identity and authority as believers in Him. We have the privilege to invite the Holy Spirit into the healing process to be our guide and to provide a safe space for our clients to build connections and trust again. We give our clients an opportunity to encounter Creator God and themselves, which brings healing to the mind, body, and spirit. We don’t proselytize.
What does it look like for the client?
Ten consecutive weekly 1.5 hr. sessions with the client fully clothed.
Trauma overwhelms the Autonomic Nervous System and its ability to regulate itself. The client will learn about their nervous system and how to identify when they are in a “triggered,” fight-or-flight -or freeze response. Simple tools will be taught for self-regulation, resiliency, as well as boundary awareness.
In the process of the sessions, somatic sensational responses will occur opening a gateway to surpressed incomplete trauma cycles from the past. The body will be given a place to release, thus completing the trauma cycle. This often happens with accompanying movement and/or emotions. Great care is taken to not retraumatize keeping the process within the clients’ control where they feel safe and always have a choice. At this point, a “new experience” has occurred, and new neuropathways are being developed for mind, body, and Spirit connection.
