As a psychologist working with patients with a history of trauma I was in awe at the physiological and emotional difference Gretchen helped to create for my patients as she gently, and ever so sensitively, guided them through their first Integrative Body Therapy experience. Gretchen's keen awareness of her client was immediately evident; therefore she quickly established safety for a population of individuals for whom safety is the ultimate obstacle. I hope for a long professional relationship with Gretchen. I trust her ability to meet my patients "where they are" and allow them to flourish physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
