MY STORY.
Hi, my name is Emiscah Rose Barker.
I am a mentor, healer, highly sensitive & heart-led human here to spark your body’s innate wisdom & capacity for healing. I am deeply devoted to the inner tending needed to heal from unresolved trauma/s, or simply put, the emotional, physiological & psychological wounds we all have held inside our bodies.
Unresolved childhood trauma showed up in my late 20’s as high functioning yet chronic & debilitating anxiety, frequent panic attacks, perfectionism, low self-worth, intense shame and more.
Through my journey, I have come to understand that all of my chronic ‘anxiety’ sensations & symptoms were messages from my intelligent body, leading me towards healing.
It wasn’t until I learned how to listen to the wisdom of my body and work through my unresolved trauma, that I was able to heal to the degree that I have. I have journeyed through 15+ years of my own healing, and I continue to do the work.
It was through a consistent practice of reconnecting to the wisdom of my body, healing my nervous system and tending to my inner child, along with incredible support from trauma-informed therapists, holistic practitioners, practices and modalities, that I have managed to heal a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, severe health anxiety, borderline autoimmune disease, and other stress-related illnesses.
I am here to teach you how to connect deeply with the wisdom of your body, reparent your wounded inner child & develop a felt-sense of internal safety so that you can bloom towards your dream life.
