I've been working with the mind since childhood.  This is the karmic grace of having been born into a family where abuse, neglect, and paranormal activity were just another Tuesday in our universe. We are always working with the mind; regardless of your discipline or desire. This is an essential message of my work.  As the firstborn child of an immigrant Jamaican family, growing up in a haunted house in a largely Italian and Irish Catholic, early 70's, Bronx neighborhood, there was no shortage of developmental trauma in my formative years.  Racial. Sexual. Paranormal. Intergenerational.   As the parentified child of a mother - adopted at age 2 into the home of a known pederast - and a father - himself the product of incest: his mother is his sister; his father also his grandfather - I would sit quietly and listen to my mother and grandmother tell me the stories of our family, much in the same way I sit and listen to my patients now.  Listening to the women who raised me gave me an ear for discernment, an essential attribute for any clinician who works with the mind and deciphers the messages it communicates through the body.  These days, instead of my grandmother's hot chocolate, there's usually a cup of tea at my side.  And there is now a Doctoral Degree in Chinese Medicine, a certification in EMDR treatment, a foundation of Internal Family Systems theory, advanced certifications in the treatment of developmental trauma/CPTSD, and nearly three decades of working with the mind-body continuum that accompany me as I continue to sit and listen, to witness and reflect, to accompany and educate.  ​ It is the education piece that has served as the inspiration for the creation of this space.  From my earlier days as a professional dancer and movement instructor, I naturally gravitated toward and the rich exchange that takes place between teacher and student. As practitioners, we are also teachers.  I have created the continuing education platform here for Chinese and Natural Medicine and practitioners seeking to develop their skill in treating developmental trauma, intersecting the mind science of the classical eastern philosophical schools with the most advanced and effective contemporary psychotherapy methods we currently have available.  ​ As a woman raised by women who experienced unspeakable traumas in their developmental years and in their adult lives with their partners - and as a woman who witnessed herself repeating the same generational/karmic imprint that she swore she could never allow for herself - I offer a platform for women of the global majority seeking to recover from developmental trauma through the rehabilitation of their relationship with money and financial health cultivation.  ​ ThisIsDrM.com, is an atraditional space.  For inspired healers and expansive thinkers.  For clinicians who serve the awakening of consciousness by awakening their own.  For women hungry to nurture true freedom and spiritual richness in their material lives.   I am dedicated to providing an accessible and interactive learning platform for practitioners and everyday people from all disciplines and backgrounds. ​ Take a single class or opt-in for membership to receive monthly recordings delivered to your inbox.  The subscription service is open to all who visit this space.  ​ The only requirement for membership is the desire to recover from developmental trauma and/or guide others on their path back home to the Self. ​ Welcome to the field of mind regeneration through clear, compassionate, clinical scholarship.  This is why I created ThisIsDrM: So you can be free.​ ​
