In this episode of Sofia Unfiltered, Aspen Robinson, a trauma-informed coach, shares her healing journey after experiencing PTSD and panic attacks following her son’s premature birth. Through energy healing and somatic practices, she not only processed that trauma but also uncovered and healed deeper childhood wounds. Aspen reminds us that healing is a fluid, personal process that requires patience, self-care, and breaking generational trauma cycles.
Aspen Robinson's Journey to Energy Healer and Trauma-Informed Coach
Aspen’s transformation began with the traumatic birth of her son, an experience that led to an eight-year battle with PTSD, anxiety, and a deep sense of emotional overwhelm. Traditional approaches provided some relief, but she yearned for a more comprehensive way to heal. This search led her to holistic practices that addressed trauma on a mind-body-spirit level, helping her reconnect with herself in ways she never thought possible. Through this journey, she not only found healing but also discovered her true purpose—guiding others, especially empaths, through their own recovery. Today, she empowers clients with energy healing, somatic therapy, and personalized healing techniques, helping them release past wounds and reclaim their sense of wholeness.
Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Childhood Trauma
Unresolved childhood trauma can show up in surprising ways, from anxiety and panic attacks to emotional numbness and trust issues. Aspen highlights the importance of recognizing these signs, as awareness is the first step toward healing. Many people don’t realize how past wounds shape their present, but understanding these patterns allows them to seek support and take meaningful steps toward recovery. Healing isn’t linear—it’s a process of self-discovery, growth, and reclaiming emotional well-being. With the right tools and guidance, lasting change is possible.

Healing Trauma: No One-Size-Fits-All Approach
There is no universal path to healing—what works for one person may not work for another. Aspen’s journey included a mix of traditional therapy, energy healing, yoga, and sound therapy, emphasizing the need for flexibility in trauma recovery. The key is to explore different modalities and trust the process, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels aligned and supportive. Along the way, self-compassion is essential. Healing isn’t linear, and setbacks are part of the journey. Aspen encourages people to be gentle with themselves, taking small, manageable steps rather than rushing toward an endpoint. Whether through energy healing, somatic work, or simply acknowledging emotions, progress matters more than perfection. Giving yourself space to heal at your own pace is what leads to lasting transformation.
Energy Healing & Somatic Practices in Trauma Recovery
Energy healing and somatic practices play a crucial role in releasing trauma stored in the body, allowing for deep emotional and physical healing. Aspen shares how these techniques became a turning point in her recovery, helping her move beyond the lingering effects of past trauma. By working with energy to clear emotional blockages and engaging in movement-based somatic practices, she was able to process difficult emotions, rebuild a sense of safety within her body, and regain a sense of inner balance. These holistic tools go beyond surface-level healing, addressing trauma at its root and creating space for long-term transformation. Whether through breathwork, guided movement, or energy alignment, these practices provide a powerful path toward healing, self-discovery, and emotional freedom.
