About the Program
Developed by hOMe PYM co-founder Caroline Culverhouse, MSS LCSW, CGP, E-RYT the Women's Healing & Transformation Program is a holistic psychotherapy treatment that aids women in the process of personal transformation.
It combines somatic & experiential methods to integrate the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of human experience, providing a safe space for women to heal core wounds and original pain.
The Program catalyzes growth in women seeking deeper healing as an adjunct to traditional talk therapy or mentorship with a trusted adviser or coach. Participants emerge with an expanded worldview that acknowledges past trauma while providing for a bright, hopeful future.
Over 130 women have participated in the program since its foundation in 2013.
