  • Yes - when appropriate for the audience and time available. I often include reflection prompts, skills practice, discussion questions, and simple tools participants can apply immediately.

  • Absolutely. Customization is one of the most important parts of trauma-informed education.

    I tailor language, examples, and takeaways based on your audience, roles, and setting. I may ask a few brief questions in advance (or review your goals/agenda) to make sure the session fits.

  • To confirm a booking, I typically ask for:

    • Event date/time and location (or virtual platform)

    • Audience size and audience role (staff, leadership, community, etc.)

    • Topic focus and goals for the session

    • Preferred format (keynote, workshop, training)

    • AV needs and time allotted

  • Fees vary depending on the format (keynote vs. training), length, customization needs, travel, and whether the event is nonprofit/community-based.

    I’m happy to share a rate sheet and work within your budget when possible.

  • If you have a set date, booking earlier is best. For conferences and large organizations, 6–10 weeks lead time is ideal. For smaller events, sometimes 2–4 weeks works depending on availability.
