We dive into her meditation and prayer practices and different methods that she enjoys currently and where she came from within a Christian upbringing. She shares about her large family and how she has shown up authentically within her parenthood journey with her husband, Matt. She homeschooled for many years, and shares some of the pros and cons of the different ways that she showed up as a mother. She shares about Timber Creek Farm and Forest School and the different philosophies that her and Matt have built this vision upon for the young children in the Pierce County area. Tinneca has 10+ years of supporting the birthing process as a midwife. She shares her experience of holding space for others and how to have empathy, compassion, and boundaries within balance. She celebrated her fortieth birthday within a healing retreat on her property and enjoyed sharing the collaboration with the other hosts while simultaneously sharing her gifts with others. She is currently enrolled in a 3 year trauma therapy program. The somatic experience is profound for a different approach to a “bottom up” therapy rather than “top down” talk therapy and the cognitive experience. She shares knowledge about the nervous system and how our body holds onto energy from our interpreted trauma. She shares that trauma is “too much, too fast, too soon” based on what has not been processed from individuals. Somatic awareness is feeling the physical body and listening to the language of regulating the self. The system is able to respond rather than react when in this place of alignment. Links: https://www.timbercreekfarmandforest.comhttps://www.quiltedhealth.com/mission aplace4healing.com https://tinnecafortin.comwww.solhealthyoga.com/scheduleFollow Maya and Paula on Instagram and Facebook: @solhealthFor upcoming events visit: www.solhealthyoga.comEmail us: connect@solhealthyoga.com with any questions.Please share this podcast with a friend and give them a love tap with some inspiration for growth.Music featured in this episode by Bensound.com
