For Veterans
Heal your spirit and find peace with the help of a trauma-sensitive Veteran as your guide.
Are you or a loved one a veteran struggling with addiction, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or a traumatic brain injury?
A mindful meditation practice could be the path to more peace and positivity in your life.
You might be hesitant about the idea of meditating to regain your calm. I understand. It can feel vulnerable or just plain "woo-woo." As a United States Air Force veteran, I can guide fellow vets and their families in their holistic wellness journey in ways that feel grounded in both spirit and science. When you choose to reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel and how much you can improve your relationships with those you love.

Veterans Programs
You can learn to use meditation as a tool to process past experiences, overcome addiction, and live with more peace and happiness. I have trained with the Warriors at Ease organization to bring trauma-informed meditation to those with PTSD and TBIs. I'm also proud to guide members of the armed forces in building a healing practice through their engagement with veterans' treatment courts.
Mindfulness Meditation for Caregivers
We have heard the sayings so often that they feel cliché. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Put on your oxygen mask first. Love yourself so that you can love others more fully. Despite the familiarity of these words, there is profound truth in them. As a caregiver, you are called upon to give so much of yourself. Mindfulness meditation can offer strategies that help you support your loved one while still attending to your own holistic wellness.

“I was referred to Sohum from a Veterans Counselor I have been working with for a long time. Sohum had a guided meditation program just for Veterans and First Responders. It was led by a certified instructor who was also a veteran. As a Vietnam Veteran with a long-term diagnosis of PTSD, I was more than somewhat hesitant to try this program. It was only through the guidance and support from the instructor and the Sohum program that I’ve learned the importance of this practice and still consider myself the “non-believer” who keeps on practicing. Thank you, Sohum, for offering this and for the knowledgeable and caring instructor.”
