Inherited trauma,
suggests that traumatic experiences endured by parents, grandparents and earlier ancestors can influence the well-being of you and future generations. These inherited traumas can manifest as chronic illness, anxiety, depression, fears, and patterns of dysfunction in families, even if the individual has not directly experienced the original trauma.
Epigenetics is,
The study of how behaviors and environmental factors can cause changes that impact the way your genes work.
Experiences, environments, and the lifestyle choices of our ancestors can leave a lasting imprint on the epigenome; influencing the gene expression and physical, mental and emotional health of generations to come.
Not only that, but we know that trauma can alter our brain chemistry, as well as our perception of reality. Our ancestors were warriors, fighting for their rights, freedom, and respect. Many endured abuse in various forms, lacking the tools to effectively process and heal their emotional, mental, or physical wounds. Over time, this energy becomes encoded in the DNA and is passed down through the lineage until someone is ready to confront and clear it.
In this method, we not only bring attention to the epigenetic markers, but release the ancestors of the pain they have been carrying for far too long. It not only liberates you, but them too, who have paved the way for you to thrive.

It didn’t start with you, but you can be the one to begin a new cycle of healing.
