In her role, she leads a global network of leaders in the field of embodiment and trauma. She leads trainings to other mental healthcare providers and embodiment practitioners throughout the US.

“Our world is saturated with trauma. Often this trauma remains
unspoken and unacknowledged. Those of us who can notice and
articulate this trauma still struggle to experience a sense of
space and choice as we attempt to experience liberation from it.
Embodied Healing offers this liberatory healing from an authentic
place of compassion and gentleness rooted in the many years of
tried and true Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga research and
pedagogy. This is a book that accompanies you on the journey back
to balance, wholeness, and agency.”
—Lama Rod Owens, author of Love and Rage
"Time and again, Jenn Turner has offered thoughtful perspectives
that land in a deeply meaningful and practical way. This book is no
exception. Through this compilation of diverse voices, from case
examples to personal experiences, the reader is able to experience,
explore, and integrate themes of TCTSY. Anyone interested in
body-forward approaches to healing trauma will benefit from reading
these collected works. A wonderful addition to the literature on
trauma treatment."
—Jennifer West, PhD, trauma specialist and author of “Moving to
Heal”
“Jenn Turner’s understanding of trauma, and the centrality of the
role of survivors embodying their own liberation, is a
compassionate and complete thread through this book. Each essay
takes us into a facet of the many faces of healing in all its forms
and possibilities. A powerful and timely read that will expand the
notion of trauma, healing, and recovery.”
—Susanna Barkataki, speaker, trainer, yoga culture advocate and
author of Embrace Yoga’s Roots

to talk-therapy in the treatment of trauma, TCTSY is beautifully
captured in this engaging project."

recommended for community, college, and university library
Neuropsychology, Psychopathology, and Post-traumatic Stress
Disorder collections and supplemental curriculum reading
