About Nina

Having grown up in a developing country, poverty and suffering were inescapable. The interdependence of life was very evident, as the poor relied upon the well-to-do for existence. At a very early age, this left an indelible mark on my soul.

My first career led me to work for the United Nations, where programming to alleviate suffering through various venues answered this call to leave the world better than I found it. This was soon to change with the birth of a special needs child who demanded my full-time care. This care has never ended, and the suffering was deep. It led me to turn inward, and the universe came together to provide the necessary teachers to help me.

My commitment to freedom was unwavering. I studied, went to retreats, and grew stronger and freer. I was invited to train others and went through a training program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Freedom is not true freedom if we achieve it just for ourselves.

As I began to work with others, I could see how disembodied many of us remain. If we do not tap into the body, we remain unhealed. This realization led me to Somatic Trauma Training, which has become my calling and love. As I continue to free myself and help others find their freedom, it brings me tremendous joy.

We are all destined for freedom from suffering, and so, what else is there really to do?
