In this episode of Trauma Undone, host Natasha June sits down with Ana Megrelishvili, a trauma-informed healer and advocate whose journey from a painful childhood in Eastern Europe to healing and purpose in the U.S. is nothing short of inspiring.
Ana opens up about surviving sexual abuse, the life-altering power of EMDR and hypnotherapy, and how silent retreats and spiritual practices became catalysts for her inner transformation.
She also explores the role of community, faith, and connection in breaking cycles of relational poverty—and reminds us all that no matter what we’ve endured, healing is possible, and we are deeply worthy of love.
🧠 EMDR and hypnotherapy were turning points in Ana’s healing journey, helping her reprocess traumatic memories.
🧘 Silent retreats gave her profound insight and deepened her connection with her inner self.
🫂 Community and connection are essential in healing relational wounds and fostering belonging.
🕊️ Ana’s faith journey helped her redefine self-worth and discover unconditional love.
🗣️ She believes storytelling is powerful medicine—for both the teller and the listener.
🌱 Healing isn’t a destination—it’s an ongoing, courageous journey of becoming whole.
