Deanna is accredited in vipassana meditation through The Awareness Training Institute and the Greater Good Science Center of the University of California at Berkeley.

Deanna facilitates survivor-led-support from an anti-oppressive, trauma & neurocognitive informed foundation as a working class, queer, nonbinary, neurodiverse, chronically ill, IPV + trauma survivor, and former sex worker. Deanna is passionate about cultivating community connective webs of wellBEing that are alternative to western medical industrial and Americanized wellness culture models that pathologize & individualize the dis-ease of oppression & trauma. Deanna specializes in teaching the tools for nervous system resonance, honing self esteem & agency, dissolving self shame & blame, increasing access to joy, pleasure, resiliency and that rawthentic, unconditional, felt-sense true belonging.
