  • "When seeking a trauma subject matter expert to facilitate dialogue with a community of graduate students, it was an exceptional experience having Denisha Smith of Embodied Culture join us! Denisha presented fundamental knowledge in reference to trauma, trauma responses as well as Somatic Experiencing. Denisha was found to be a valuable asset to our learning community in which students noted the desire to have presentations such as this added to the curriculum for the semester! It provided the clinical knowledge desired by the program and the practical understanding desired by students which made this an all-encompassing experience in which students and the program will value for years to come!"

  • DENISHA PROVIDED PROVEN METHODS OF COPING "Denisha’s personality and genuine spirit area true blessing to anyone she connects with. In an effort to promote mental stability, given all that we endured in 2020, I hosted a session and invited Denisha to be the guest facilitator. Denisha provided proven methods of coping during stressful situations. Techniques like grounding and self-touch were reviewing to ensure the participants could just take a stepback when they were faced with overwhelming situations. The attendees were highly pleased with the information Denisha presented and I look forward to having her back for future sessions."
