Meet Your Trainer,

Star Rose Bond, LCSW

I did not become an expert in my field specializing in trauma with a successful practice simply by textbooks alone.

My childhood was saturated with adversity and trauma (which ultimately became my gifts). I saw and experienced it all: poverty, addiction, sexual abuse, single parenthood, domestic violence, chronic illness, the whole she-bang.

When I was 12, I was committed into my first mental institution and by age 14, I was facing incarceration for the first of many times. Throughout my entire adolescence into early adulthood, I was shuffled through the system, labeled and medicated. On top of all that, Lymes disease was simultaneously & unknowingly wreaking havoc on my health.

So, if you feel like you’ve been through some crazy stuff– welcome, you’re in good company.

I spent the first half of my life believing that I was broken, crazy and destined for a life of hardship — just to spend the second half of it healing, reclaiming and owning my worth and wisdom.

For the past 20 years, I have committed myself to a path of healing like never before.

I went from being a product of the system and a high school drop-out to graduating from an Ivy League University top of my class and spending the last 12 years in the field as a master’s level social worker working with underserved communities from around the globe.

My career has led me to develop an obsession with neuro-psychology and the incredible connection between science and the sacred and how that relates to human behavior. I am living proof of what it means to overcome trauma and even against all odds, I discovered healing and a life I never thought possible.

In my journey back to self, I was gifted with the knowledge and experience of now being able to help facilitate that process for others.

I am fiercely passionate about helping people break-free from trauma and overcome the limitations holding them back from creating their own personal legacy.

I live in the Sierra foothills of Northern California where I run my private practice out of my home/mini farm and work as the trauma-informed specialist at a local treatment center for low-income families. When I am not working as a therapist + coach – you can catch me being a rebel hearted, loud-mouth New Yorker who loves hip hop, bougie hotels in exotic places, psychedelics, books and dismantling the patriarchy. If you want a non-judgemental kick in the butt to break you out of your BS stories – I’m your woman.
