Bios:

“Cendie Stanford is a first-generation college graduate to earn two Master’s Degrees, one BA Degree, and a business certificate from the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. A Texas native & former public-school educator, she is extremely passionate about Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) education and trauma awareness. Cendie Stanford has lived experiences with childhood adversities, most of which were experienced in zip code 79403. Unaware that her childhood adversities played a role in how she responded to stressors in her career as an educator, relationships, and even parenting, she sought out the why. Two decades of experience working in the public education sector, Cendie traded in her classroom keys in order to secure a business license to spread the message of ACEs in corners of the world that needed to hear it most. Living with the consequences of childhood wounds for over four decades, Cendie took a leap of faith to start ACEs Matter as a not-for-profit organization because she believed everyone deserved access to this science. Cendie says, “Seeing adults who are struggling due to the templates from their childhood and seeing children being reared in similar environments motivate her to work harder at this vision for ACEs Matter.” Since 2021, Cendie has made several public appearances discussing the impacts of ACEs as a lived experience survivor in underserved and professional communities. Her long-term goals include empowering Title 1 schools and communities with research backed practices that aid in nurturing the neurons of students, parents, and educators that have been affected by adverse childhood experiences. Cendie serves as a mentor for youth and rising education entrepreneurs. She has also conducted more than 10,000 hours of professional development training and over 150 hours of online interviews.”

Healers of Hilton Head Series: Terisha Tatter – The Healing Gifts of Pilates and Massage Therapy

Healers of Hilton Head Series: Terisha Tatter – The Healing Gifts of Pilates and Massage Therapy

By |

Special Edition: Healers of Hilton Head Series

I am so excited to share with you the HEALERS OF HILTON HEAD SERIES!

My goal is to not only shine a light onto the amazing healers of the Lowcountry, but as a reminder for anyone listening to look for the healers in your own community! There are so many empowering and enlightening options available.

Episode 16

Today I welcome Terisha Tatter, licensed and Nationally Board Certified instructor specializing in Body Function Recovery, Fertility Enhancement, Pain Management, Performance Enhancement and Stress Reduction.

Bio:

After a severe Horseback Riding accident in 2006, Terisha Tatter herniated her Lumbar Disc L3/L4 and fractured her sacrum, and thus suffered from low back and hip pain as well as pain radiating down her leg. She found it difficult to roll over. She chose not to go the typical Physical Therapy route,* but chose nutrition, Pilates, The Arvigo Technique Maya Massage, and MyoFascial Release therapeutic technique for her recovery path. After four weeks her Orthopedist was AMAZED at her progress.

(*As she is not a medical doctor nor does she give medical advice, she recommends all her clients seek Physical Therapy post-surgery or injury).

On another note, she also suffered from some fertility issues all her life (the doctors had told her for over 20 years that she would need fertility drugs when she wanted to have a family,) but through the work of The Arvigo Technique that changed within a couple of months and she became pregnant with her son Ethan. She kept up with her Abdominal Massage work and had the kind of pregnancy women envy.  She was also listed as “HIGH RISK” because of her age, but had zero problems.

Her experiences and training have been a gift she feels honored to share with as many people as want to experience it.  Her training and experiences offer her the ability to enhance your use of your body and reinstate function where it has been lost without drugs or surgery.

Bio:

“Mary Giuliani is a Master Certified Coach, keynote speaker, and author of “It’s Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol: It’s About Healing Complex PTSD.”   As a complex trauma recovery coach, she supports survivors in healing from complex trauma and achieving long-term recovery with food, weight, drugs, alcohol, and relationships, resulting in them turning their pain into power and purpose.”

Mary’s Book Release February 21, 2023:

Mary‘s new book is a blending of memoir, science-based research, and a practical Complex Trauma workbook & Addiction Recovery Healing Guide.

In it, Mary shares her story that in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving her struggle with relationships, health, and work, and her past struggle with alcohol, drugs, food, and severe obesity was a condition known as Complex PTSD, a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home.

This discovery sent her on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine to find the most effective treatments for optimal healing.

As she embarks on her trauma-healing journey, she shares experiencing one mind-blowing revelation after another as she learned C-PTSD was operating behind the scenes sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health. She then shares what she did to heal and how discovering and healing her trauma marked the single most transformative turning point in her life. She also provides access to all she’s learned through a compassionate, step-by-step C-PTSD workbook and Addiction Recovery Guide so her readers can embark on their own trauma healing and recovery journey.”

Bio:

“Steph Sarazin is an experiential grief expert, researcher, and author. As an ‘accidental grief researcher,’ and experiential expert in ambiguous grief, her work focuses on the process of navigating ambiguous grief: an emotional state that occurs with the loss of a loved one, but not to physical death—when someone is still living yet whose relationship with us has changed. After Steph’s own experience with ambiguous grief, she sought out healing and others who shared her experience, which led to further research, discoveries about hope, and co-authoring the Ambiguous Grief Process Model.

Steph now works to bring awareness to ambiguous grief as a nuanced, natural, and navigable response to loss. She is the founder of the Rise Up Rooted Community and her book, SoulBroken, was published this fall.”
