About Vivian McKinnon
Trauma is not an event — it is how you store that event within your own skin and the story you tell yourself.
My path to this work was forged through my own personal journey of overcoming early life adversities, trauma, and addiction. However, as well as lived experience, I am a highly trained, skilled trauma therapist with qualifications in many modalities.
Healing is not about ‘fixing’ something that is broken; it is about gently peeling back the protective layers of sadness, hurt, fear, and shame that were built to help us survive. By integrating evidence-based somatic modalities, neurobiological insights, and compassionate inquiry, I guide individuals to move past stored trauma and anxiety to rediscover present-moment peace, emotional regulation, and true self-acceptance — reclaiming belonging from the skin in.
If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress or overwhelm, RAFT will help you to deal with the root cause, not just the symptoms.
