AN Invitation

If any of this sounds familiar, there's nothing wrong with you.

Your body's response was intelligent. Your body did what it had to do to help you survive. And when you're healed, it can let go and learn something new.

You don't have to share your whole story or know where to begin. We can hop on a no-pressure 20-minute call; you can ask me anything, and we'll see if we're a good fit. I'd love to speak with you.

When Talking Hasn't Been Enough

Grief is the normal and natural reaction to a significant emotional loss of any kind.

Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of, or change in, a familiar pattern of behavior.

Grief is the feeling of reaching out for someone who has always been there, only to find when you need them again, they are no longer there.

How I Help?

I'm Gail Mae. I've spent over 15 years helping people recover from trauma, not just by talking through it, but by working with the body's nervous system and the subconscious to heal and release trauma.

I use an integrated approach that goes beyond just talk. Using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Matrix Reimprinting. We work with your nervous system so you can stop surviving and start feeling alive — safely, fully, you.

EFT gently stimulates the body's meridian points while we process the emotions and memories connected to the trauma. This sends a calming signal to the nervous system and helps the brain reprocess the experience, so it's no longer stored as a live threat. The memory remains, but the negative charge around it dissolves.

Matrix Reimprinting, which is especially powerful for trauma recovery, allows you to safely heal original events and give your younger self what they needed at the time: comfort, protection, and a new outcome. The traumatic picture that had been frozen in your subconscious gets replaced with one that supports healing. It's not about rewriting history. As we tap, we free your nervous system from the stuck pattern of reliving it.

I know this work from the inside, not just as a practitioner, but as someone who had complex PTSD for years before finding the techniques that finally set me free.

When we work together, you'll be held in a safe, sacred space. We go at your pace. Nothing is forced. And my clients often feel a positive shift from the very first session, because when the body is finally given permission to complete what was interrupted, it knows exactly what to do.

That's trauma recovery. Not learning to live with it—but letting the pain of it go.

Gail Mae has changed my life

I have worked with Gail Mae twice before, and each time, I have felt dramatic changes. The first time was when my mother, whom I was beyond close to and living with, was not doing well. I was terrified of losing her and didn't think I could survive the loss. She not only helped me through this with such gentleness and kindness but also helped me thrive after her passing. I am forever grateful to her and the work she does with such care, generosity, and empathy.

You might be ready for this if...

Here are just a few ways healing can help give you the ability to:

trust again

feel safe again

be in control again

have faith again

feel alive again

There Is Hope

It is possible!

When I trained to become a Grief Recovery Specialist, we trainees had to go through the complete Grief Recovery process. I chose to work on the relationship with my mother, which had always been very difficult.

I always had a great sense of loss that I was not loved in the way I needed to thrive as a child. When my mother died, my hopes of us healing our relationship died with her.

Grief can be about wishing a relationship had ended differently, whether it was loving and supportive or the opposite. During the Grief Recovery process, I was able to complete and come to terms with our relationship.

In my work with clients, I add EFT-Tapping, and through this combined process of healing, I have helped many people find peace and freedom from grief.

I encourage you to reach out to me if you are still suffering.
