<\/p>\n\u201cBecause of the fractures trauma causes everyone internally and externally, the healing comes in holding space for each other, sharing our stories, and witnessing other stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Freeman also hopes to offer, be it at Wild Oak, or between the lines of her book, is a connectedness and togetherness to counteract the world\u2019s divisiveness.<\/p>\n
And her passion to strive for that comes, largely, she admits, from being raised by therapists who worked in the area of domestic violence treatment.<\/p>\n
Freeman, who grew up in Red Deer County, joined their practice once she obtained her Master\u2019s Degree from Yorkville University in 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cI worked with both court-mandated and voluntary clients, and I watched the healing that happened with the clients in the specialized area of domestic violence. Then COVID happened, the funding for the domestic violence programs were cut and moved, and I needed to pivot \u2013 this also came at a time when I was going through my own therapy and trying to heal past trauma and hurt,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe centre then became my dream, my passion \u2013 bringing together passionate practitioners from different modalities and specialities to build a collaborative approach to healing trauma \u2013 talk therapy, energy healing, somatic healing, spiritual healing, etc. I found self-love, healing and acceptance in talk therapy, reiki, yoga, somatic breathwork, chiropractic adjustments, tuning forks, sound therapy, inner child work \u2013 so I became and am becoming what I think I needed when I was a 16-year-old trying to find healing.\u201d<\/p>\n
When she was a kid, she says, there wasn\u2019t a lot of help for kids like her who were experiencing abuse.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is also what fuelled my passion to work strategically alongside the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre,\u201d she adds. \u201cI am honouring all the younger versions of me every day I pour myself into this work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freeman\u2019s latest book is available on Amazon and Kindle, and she anticipates it will soon be for sale at Indigo in Red Deer. In the meantime, she\u2019s working on a poetry\/prose book, and a collaborative co-parenting book with her reiki and yoga practitioner Charity Tally.<\/p>\n
