Bridget Schumann

Bridget Schumann

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


My experience as a social worker, herbalist, and therapist has convinced me of the following about humans:

  • we thrive on connection
  • our bodies are trying to tell us what we need, we just need to learn how to listen
  • connecting to nature is paramount to a high-quality, lasting healing journey
  • we ALL can experience joy and live in our highest being

My background/focuses in integrative mental health (connecting the mind and body's wellness), trauma work, nature therapy, and spirituality guide our work together. I love working with folks who are ready to dive a little deeper, find purpose and meaning in life, and rewrite their story.
