Dr. Aja D. King

While I loved my career, I was experiencing a heavy weight of grief, helplessness, and trauma from the populations I was serving. Furthermore, working through my own trauma while holding space for others was becoming surmountable.

​

To break from this, I begin to dive deep into my own healing process, and revisit painful experiences that kept me frozen with guilt and shame. Through my experience, I realized that my body needed more then talking. It needed to find space for the feelings, and opportunities to release that energy. I begin to seek non-traditional healing options that gave my emotions a place. Reiki, Drumming, Dancing, Nature Walks, Post-Divorce Couple’s Therapy (that’s for a later story. LOL), and so many more modalities. These variations of healing helped me to understand that wellness is not linear. How could I get this message back to the community?

 

With that, Brave Defiance Healing and Consulting was created.
