Amy Rebekah Chavez Bio 2021
Amy’s scholarship and practice of trauma - informed leadership has been a holistic exploration through personal, professional, and academic development. She practiced twenty years as a holistic health practitioner, working as a licensed massage therapist, childbirth educator, birth doula, yoga teacher, community herbalist, and group facilitator, all with a committed focus to supporting trauma healing through the body and through the collective, while cultivating skills for resiliency. Advanced trauma educational trainings include Somatic Trauma Resolution, Somatic Experience, Neuro Affective Relational Model, and Community Resilience Model from the Trauma Resource Institute.
In 2016 Amy closed her private practice of one-on-one healing support to pursue a PhD in leadership and change through Antioch University. Inside of this academic container of research and dynamic learning, she has deepened her capacity to support groups and organizations move into more authentic, responsible, and collaborative leadership practices that are rooted in trauma and resilience- informed care. Amy is passionate about supporting the people who are supporting people, especially inside of healing containers. Specifically, Amy is passionate about supporting leaders, and those who support others, in learning to self-regulate their nervous systems in service to co-regulation as a leadership practice. Amy is an avid supporter of all people doing the work to heal from trauma, individual and collective, and she brings warmth, humor, compassion and much passion to the groups that she works with.
