Whole with Joy partners with schools, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations to address burnout, strengthen team connection, and build sustainable workplace cultures through trauma-informed, nature-based facilitation.

Our approach integrates evidence-based somatic practices, outdoor experiences, and nervous system regulation techniques to help teams move from reactive, depleted patterns to grounded, collaborative ways of working. When teams reconnect with natural environments and each other, they develop the relational trust and resilience needed for lasting organizational health.

Consulting for Trauma-Informed Organizations

With 15+ years of experience in trauma-informed care, community mental health, and holistic facilitation, we help organizations create workplaces where people can actually thrive—not just survive. Our consulting combines clinical expertise with practical team care strategies to address the root causes of workplace stress, disconnection, and turnover.

We work with organizations navigating burnout, collective grief, major transitions, and culture change. Whether through staff retreats, leadership training, crisis response, or ongoing consultation, we help teams build capacity for both individual and collective wellbeing.
