Our Mission
Feet on the Ground is a not-for-profit organization that aims to forward the use of holistic interventions for post-traumatic resilience and growth.
We empower trauma-exposed populations — including refugees, veterans, aid workers, and assault survivors — with somatic tools and practices for growth and healing. We also provide education and consultation for healthcare professionals, educators, yoga teachers, and interested individuals on mind-body approaches to working with trauma.
Our Values
We work at the intersection of neuroscience, mental health, and somatic practices, and are guided by three core values:
Advocacy
We believe that every person has the right to access the mental health support they need and deserve, and we work to break down barriers to access.
Education
We believe in the power of education to transform a person's relationship to their trauma and themselves.
Empowerment
We believe in the right of every individual to be an active participant in their growth and healing.
Our Strategy
Our work focuses on four key areas: education, empowerment, research, and consulting.
We train helping professionals — primarily mental healthcare providers, aid workers, and yoga teachers — in somatic approaches to working with trauma.
