Donella Dowdle

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Donella Dowdle about her transformative work in Trauma Touch Therapy. Donella shared her personal journey into this field and the experiences that led her to embrace a healing approach centered on the mind-body connection. She explained how Trauma Touch Therapy creates a safe, supportive space where clients can gently reconnect with their bodies and process trauma without becoming re-traumatized.What stood out to me most was how individualized the work is. Donella emphasized that each session is guided by the client’s needs, comfort level, and pace, empowering them to regain a sense of agency and awareness within their own bodies. We talked about the importance of body awareness in emotional healing and how many people benefit from learning to tune into physical sensations as part of their trauma recovery journey.Our conversation highlighted not only who can benefit from this therapy, but also why creating safety and choice is foundational to deep, lasting healing.Connect with Donella: [e-mail] Connect with Alexandra on her website, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠forwardtojoy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or send her an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[e-mail]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
