I’m Brandi Chantalle, a human being who moonlights as an author and freedom facilitator. Certified as both a Somatic Activated Healer and Trauma & Resilience Practitioner, my work is about prioritizing our humanity in educational and corporate sectors… which is a fancy way of saying that, no matter the setting, I help people navigate life’s changes with full presence and compassion.
Motivated by Pearl Cleage’s decree — “Don’t forget to do something for freedom today” — I’ve woven together restorative writing practices, curriculum development, somatic movement, and meditation to provide tools and techniques that help others show up as their best selves.
Despite everyone’s definition of best being personal and impermanent, I consider community and interdependence a necessary fixture. My work is grounded by the belief that together we transform our trauma, together we harness our voice, together we create the community that allows our best self to thrive.
As it relates to those who most benefit from my heart’s work, I live in Maryland and reside in my husband’s childhood home with our two daughters. In my downtime, I enjoy hiking, live music, dancing, and pretending I’m not too sleepy to indulge in a good book or comedy special.
