"I met Coach E. when he attended a Vashti's House Emotional Wellness Community Workshop.  I was personally encouraged and inspired after meeting Coach E. because of his genuine love for people and his extensive knowledge and experience in helping individuals who are on the front lines of helping others to manage the affects of secondary trauma and toxic stress from chronic hypervigilance.  Vashti's House has been working to provide the most impactful professional development training in regards to helping individuals manage their own stress responses for long-term health and recovery.  I am absolutely thrilled that Coach E. has joined our professional support services training team.  You can learn more about this service here, and don't hesitate to request Coach E. specifically for your needs."  Vashti Young ~ Founder and Director of Vashti's House
