Healing Trauma and Addiction at the Roots for Future Generations
TM
One of Steve’s deepest passions is the support of Indigenous communities
Supporting healing of both generational trauma and addiction within Indigenous communities remains one of Steve Sawyer's most devoted life missions.
Steve spends extensive both personal time and career with our countries indigenous people. His Grandmother was a “split feather” a term for a displaced native adoptee. He travels the country extensively working on reservations offering his Indigenous focused services. He does this offering Native Focused Brainspotting, Generation Red Road Facilitator, offering trauma responsive workshops, and supporting tribes with trauma responsive consultations. His time is committed to the Canku Luta or Red Road way of life.
Steve credits the Canku Luta for his success in understanding self and his connection to creation. His appreciation for the ways of the indigenous people of turtle island has lead him on a path that is deeply rooted in a life long journey to understand the values in which they live by.
Through this experience Steve’s clinical and science background is able to relate science to bring both our worlds together creating opportunities for healing to all.

Trauma, Resilience Healing training with Steve Sawyer started me on a healing awakening I never knew existed before.
The six-hour training showed me how my 50 year old self could get out of my life long fight or flight trauma roller coast since the age of 7. For the first time in 30 years I really felt like some one really heard, saw and believed me.
Mahalo Steve! So honored to have the tools with me to make sure I love on this little girl that still lives in me.
