Embodied Wisdom Institute LLC, a new holistic wellness center in Lancaster County, offers trauma-informed services designed to promote healing and manage stress and anxiety. Founded by Vanessa Simmons, a trauma-focused psychotherapist with nearly a decade of experience, the institute offers a broad spectrum of holistic practices.

Somatic therapies, such as massage, yoga and qigong, release physical manifestations of trauma stored in the body, addressing symptoms like chronic pain, hyperarousal, tension and disconnection from the body. Additional practices like guided meditations, sound immersions and reiki help individuals reconnect with their inner selves, finding peace and balance.

The institute fosters a sense of community through group activities like yoga classes, guided meditations and sound immersions, providing essential support and understanding. With a team of eight skilled practitioners, clients receive high-quality care. Upcoming workshops include the Full Moon Meditation Series and the Transformational Breathwork Workshop.

Workshop fees start at $20. Location: 845 Silver Spring Plaza, Ste. B, Lancaster. For more information or to enroll, call 717-219-7163, email [email protected] or visit EmbodiedWisdomInstitute.com.
