Hello lovely human! I’m Rachel Broome. I am SO glad you are here. My experience is focused around finding each human's innate healing capacity and returning home to the wholeness we are inherently made form. I find lots of intrigue with helping folx heal wounds from early childhood and specialize with trauma, CPTSD, attachment-based dynamics and ritual, cult abuse and dissociative disorders (like DID).
It’s in the togetherness and in our connection together that the magic of healing gets to happen. I believe that regardless of the techniques used, the most important aspects are connection and safety, both in the relationships with each other, and in our relationship with our own bodies and with our world. I like to say I show up as a human first, a somatic experiencing practitioner second, and a counselor and bodyworker last. I strive to help each client feel safe within their own body, and with me, in each session. I work consistently with somatic touch (and am trained fully with TST, SRR, and NAtouch), which brings regulation to you physiologically while we work with your nervous system. I find that blending traditional talk and body based modalities are helpful and have training in or have trained as: EMDR, IFS, cranial sacral, reiki master teacher, massage, bodywork, and am a doula. I also have experiences working across generations and use various parenting modalities, including Nurturing Parenting and Circle of Security.
I have worked for 15+ years in the behavioral health field, with pregnant people, young children, adolescents, young people and adults. Upon graduating with my master’s degree, I was able to work closely with the birth-5 population (children and their caregivers) to really understand our deep need for secure attachment, safety and connection that continues throughout our lifetimes. I have also spent time working with children and families on all sides of the foster care/behavioral health system. And, most recently, I have begun working with folks who have organized and ritual abuse and/or high levels of disassociation, and find that I truly enjoy working and supporting humans of all ages. I am also lucky enough to be an assistant and coordinator for SE trainings, while also maintaining a private practice.
I also offer sliding scale personal sessions/consultations for SE students, to help them integrate material in a deeper, more personal way. I can offer personal sessions to SE students at all levels and consultations through the intermediate level. I can’t wait to talk with you - please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to set up a consultation to see if we might be a good fit!

I’m sending you lots of love and ease in your healing journey, in whatever capacity you may need.
