greetings
I'm Brianna, the founder of Hummingbody. As a native Arizonan, artist, love being The Mom, rescue kitten foster mom, teacher, neighborhood Mom, and enthusiast of expressive arts and hummingbirds. I loved performing in a jazz quartet and musical theatre as a youth. I am a proud advocate of mental health, practice wholistic & holistic healing, and nerd out on neuroscience.
With a professional background as a social worker, healer & educator for 20 years, I have worked across age groups and genders, addressing a myriad of issues. My academic foundation includes a BSW and MSW, with a minor in Gender and Women's Studies. Additionally, I hold certification as an Integrative Trauma Practitioner and Coach. My expertise is trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood & adult, narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships), crisis work, relationship with food and body, expressive arts and somatic bodywork. Beyond my professional credentials, I had the privilege of teaching English, singing, and art in South Korea, as well as backpacking through Thailand and Burma (Myanmar). Immersing myself in these rich cultures, I lived and ate amongst the locals, connecting with people from around the world.
Through gained profound insights, even amidst moments of personal disempowerment. My experiences heightened my awareness of the privileges and power I held, surpassing those of many others. Delve deeper into this aspect by exploring the dedicated resources available on my website under the "HUMS" tab.
My Story
With unwavering encouragement from my Uncle since youth, I have been inspired to share my innate gifts and illuminate the path for others. It has always been my aspiration to establish a private practice where I can impart the wisdom gleaned from both personal experiences and professional insights to facilitate the healing journey of those in need. My dream of running an independent practice, is a reality. Despite the persistent echoes of doubt urging me to remain small and silent, I have overcome these barriers. My mission is to uplift and empower individuals on their unique paths to healing.
I acknowledge the shared humanity within the healing and helping profession, having faced my own dark nights, which some would say is an extreme understatement, and have survived! And today I thrive. Through my personal journey, I discovered the power of healing and self-reconnection. "You can rewrite your motherhood story." "You're never too old to have a good childhood." "You can start again, and again, and again." You can always change your mind." "You don't own anyone anything." It is my belief that nothing is ever wasted; every experience can be harnessed for good. I stand firm in the authority of my body, use my voice, and share the light within me, and I am dedicated to empowering you to do the same. Together, we can find purpose and meaning in every step of your unique journey.
With the invaluable support of unconditionally loving friends, dedicated colleagues, Score Mentorship, Sensenig Consulting, Emotions photography, Lloyd Collective, and the guiding presence of my faith, I am blessed. Be a blessing!
