About
Meet D.D.
D.D. & her husband Trevor, are the parents of 8 incredible children, 4 more amazing souls that have married into their family and 2 beautiful grandchildren, the blessing of which, D.D. shares, "allows us continual opportunities to learn and to grow! All of which, I am so, so very, grateful for."
However, there were times, as she shares, that she did not feel, this way...
"Over the years, I became increasingly aware I was "out of my league", or maybe, "in over my head", would be a better way of wording this. For that is truly how it felt. I clearly needed more than what I had, to even just stay afloat, never mind to do what was required of me, in a way I know I committed to, when I chose to become a mom.
The more children we had, the more painfully aware I became of this fact. But, I had no clue about how to change this! I just knew I wanted so much just to be able to love my children. I so wanted to be that mom. And yet, I clearly didn't know how to take this beautiful desire & love in my heart, & equate it into indicative actions, when faced with all that we come "up against" in the day to day life experiences & interactions - these opportunities, that we are given everyday as parents. My days were filled with, & constantly ended in, frustration, anxiety & emotional overwhelm. I know their little lives were filled with the same", she shares, regretfully.
"There was a time when I wanted (& seriously contemplated!), putting out a "New Mom NEEDED" ad. They so deserved better than what I obviously could give them. I knew this. My heart ached for this. The good news is, I didn't put out the ad. Even better news, by the grace of God (literally), I didn't give up."
Holding to this love & desiring, with all her heart, to be the kind of mom that could equate this love into her actions, words & other communications, even - maybe even especially - when it was "hard"; she kept seeking, asking, learning, stumbling, falling, getting back up & doing this again & again & again. After learning & still struggling to see any real positive effects or results from (as she words it), "all of the best parenting resources & support out there!", she "just so happened" to come across one day something called "Teaching Self-Government". That was the moment, that everything began to shift...
"I came to learn, in a very real and tangible way, just how much power and influence I actually had over my own experience, as I truly and practically learned to live well the gift of my own nervous system, my own processing and my own in-the-moment connections and interactions within my precious roles & relationships. Through these principles and skills, I began to see things I could not see before in the state I was functioning in. I began to understand and experience, that I actually had a choice. That I not only had the capability, but also a growing capacity to create, to nurture, to "give life" to those things that I held in my heart all along. Personally, and as a family, we gained very practical and effective tools and skills to finally be free from and move beyond emotional bondage & the old habits that caused us so much suffering & struggle in our own hearts and in our home. We learned how to actually create together the home we all so wanted. A gift I am so grateful for and get to live, everyday."
As D.D. has continued her education and professional training, she learned just how much these "self-government" principles and skills are literally at the heart of the revealing modern neuroscience, neuro-biology and ground-breaking understanding of the fundamental bioelectrical and bioenergetic dynamics of the body system that are so powerfully assisting people in healing and transforming their whole-being health - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Her studies led her to pursuing Foot Zone training and certification completion through three of the best Foot Zoning schools available, as well as becoming an instructor for two of these schools. She has gone on to attend and complete professional training and certification through renowned natural health and holistic medicine schools to provide support and resources as a Holistic Health Practitioner, Holistic Health & Wellness Coach, Therapeutic Nutritional Counselor, Pain Resolution Specialist, Microcurrent Therapy Practitioner and a Qigong Instructor (with specific training in Medical and Mental Health Qigong). She has also completed training in CranioSacral Therapy, Energy Medicine and Practical Homeopathy.
Her experiences have led her to continued training in the field of cellular trauma release and neurological processing, enabling her to take what she learned through Teaching Self-Government and effectively support those she works with to finally recognize the core level programs and root cause neurological and cellular patterning that keep our systems looping in unproductive cycles and reoccurring survival or other unbeneficial learned patterns. In doing so, she gracefully assists and supports todays individuals in working with their own being to effectively repattern and restore their nervous system and other foundational systems of the body toward the realization of real healing, whole-being health and true wellness.
This work has provided additional insight and supported her growing skill development in working with the bioelectrical and bioenergetic dynamics of the body system and how this relates to our mental, emotional, physical and even relational health and wellbeing. Her studies have led her to learn and continue skill development in Neuro-Auto Associative Programming, Somatics and the Healer's Blueprint 2.0 Advanced Touchstone Method for cellular trauma release - all to more fully support, equip and empower individuals and families that she feels so blessed to work with, to realize true healing, real transformation and the fulfillment of their own health and wellness goals - within their own hearts, the homes and relationships they share and the simply incredible body and beautiful nervous system they have been given.
Through all of this, D.D. has gained an even greater love and an incredibly deep gratitude for our magnificent beings, the incredible intelligence they hold and the precious gift we are given in our relationships & the roles we are entrusted with. It has been confirmed repeatedly to her, that the answers we seek and the solutions we need today are much closer to us than we may think. The reality that she continues to see revealed is...
"It's not about what is “wrong” with us, that needs to be “fixed”. That is just communication to us. We simply get to listen and hear, move beyond the fixing and even just healing alone, to truly learning, practically applying & living well, what is so incredibly right with, & right before, us."
Whether it be through helping other courageous parents seeking change, by learning & teaching self-government within their own hearts and homes, or through supporting those seeking to get to "the heart" of the issues they suffer and struggle with and actually realize their own individual and family whole-being health and wellness goals, D.D. is joyfully empowering others to live this beautiful truth for themselves. As we do so, hearts are truly healing, homes & relationships are powerfully strengthened & lives are beautifully transformed. "One heart, one home, one hand at a time."
It absolutely is time.
Our 25 year wedding anniversary vow renewal.
"May God bless & strengthen you & yours in this great work; to learn, to live well and to truly love the gifts before you."
D.D. Black
