With a scholarly interest in quantifiable research and a deep intuitive felt sense, Josh Welz blends and integrates both respectful approaches to complete and whole person care. Holding a B.S in Nutrition, an M.A of Education, an M.A of Divinity and with current enrollment in a Masters of Arts in Psychology. This rich tapestry brings a diverse educational background that incorporates the body, mind, and spirit.

In addition to formal education, Josh is a certified Kripalu yoga instructor, focusing on a trauma informed practice, while guiding individuals to further connect and experience themselves more fully and gently. Additionally, Josh holds a background in nutritional psychology, which looks into the impact of nutrients upon emotions and neurochemistry. Furthermore, Josh takes time to consider the psycho-spiritual understanding of each person, integrating both Western and Eastern understandings which acknowledges not only the intellectual foundations for a person’s beliefs (be they religious, spiritual, or non-theistic) but also the psycho-emotional impact upon the nervous system. This approach is to fundamentally ground oneself in a practice of deep embodiment with an appreciation for one’s own inward path; notwithstanding reflections of spiritual or religious trauma as well.

Finally, Josh specializes in a trauma informed practice which reflects the branch of somatics, including Somatic Experiencing, Transforming Touch, Neuroaffective Touch, Somatic Movement, trauma informed yoga, and embodiment techniques, offering a multidisciplinary approach to whole person care.
