Our Founders

Jodi Richard, Devin Merriman, Ada Merriman, and Christopher Truffa have experienced nature's healing power firsthand. During the pandemic, Jodi encouraged family and friends to support one another by motivating and guiding each other through tough times with exercise, awareness of their mental states, and the importance of connecting with nature.

This practice helped them so much that they decided to work together to create We Move to Heal in hopes that they could help others learn more about the healing power of movement and nature.

Inner child work is a powerful therapeutic approach that aims to heal unresolved emotional wounds from childhood. By acknowledging and addressing these past traumas, individuals can experience profound personal growth and emotional healing.  Insights from a conversation between Kendall Jenner and Jay Shetty on their YouTube video provides a good look at this.

Understanding Inner Child Work: Inner child work is based on the idea that each of us carries an "inner child" within us—a representation of the child we once were. This inner child retains the memories, emotions, and experiences of our early years, influencing our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships as adults. Unresolved issues from childhood, such as neglect, trauma, or unmet emotional needs, can create emotional blocks that hinder personal development.

The Importance of Inner Child Healing: Healing the inner child is vital for various reasons:

  1. Emotional Release: By revisiting past emotional wounds, individuals can release pent-up feelings, leading to a greater sense of emotional freedom.
  2. Improved Relationships: Resolving inner child issues can lead to healthier relationships, as individuals become more self-aware and better able to communicate their needs.
  3. Increased Self-Compassion: Inner child work fosters self-compassion and self-love, encouraging individuals to treat themselves with kindness and understanding.
  4. Breaking Negative Patterns: Many negative patterns in adulthood can be traced back to childhood experiences. Inner child work helps break these patterns and establish healthier habits.
  5. Enhanced Well-Being: As inner child wounds heal, individuals often experience reduced anxiety, depression, and a greater overall sense of well-being.
