Experience
Tina believes that healing and wholeness can be found by integrating mind, body, and spirit through experiential practices and regular rhythms of breath, prayer, mindfulness, movement, and story. She is passionate about seeing women reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and discover the Holy Spirit movement in their lives. Through her own stories of loss and grief, she has learned to sit with others without the need to fix or rescue them. Tina journeys with individuals on their path to healing, creating safe spaces, honoring their stories, and trusting the Holy Spirit to guide them to freedom.
Tina sees herself as a spiritual midwife for women as they witness their bodies, spirits and souls and allow for the Spirit to move in all three. Tina has partnered with RAHAB Ministries since 2016, bringing movement and prayer to survivors of human trafficking.
Because each person, and their story is unique, by combining her work and services at Free To Be Ministries specifically to each person, using approaches in Integrative Prayer, Spiritual Direction, Individual and Group Narrative Story work, Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Movement classes, she is able to meet the unique needs of her clients.
She offers care to all people, particularly the BIPOC population.
