Primal Trust Mentorship

If you are not dealing with chronic illness, but you’d like to work with me one-on-one, check out my Vibrant Living Mentorship.

Struggling with Chronic Illness?

If you would like my support with recovering from chronic illness,
I ask that you consider joining Primal Trust Academy and Community. Once you have access to these life-changing lessons and tools, I can support you on your journey and help you customize your daily plan. Within Primal Trust Academy and Community, I offer group classes and personal mentorship,

What is Primal Trust?

Primal Trust is a holistic online platform for somatic nervous system regulation and neural retraining. It’s a supportive community helping people find healing from chronic illness, stress, and trauma.

Primal Trust includes Academy courses, for education, and the Community, which offers live classes and opportunities for connection. Members also have the option to work 1:1 with mentors (there are about 8 of us) in the community, for an additional fee. 


This is the the most comprehensive, science-based, heart-centered program I have found for healing from chronic illness and trauma. Thousands have been through the program, and many (including me) have had spectacular results.

After living with and trying to treat my chronic illness for almost 20 years, the Primal Trust program and community gave me the tools and the support to finally, truly, deeply heal. For more on my healing journey, watch my interview with Dr. Cathleen King (Primal Trust founder): Recovery from a lifetime of symptoms- Mold, CPTSD, Brain Fog, Digestive, Chronic Fatigue

Primal Trust Academy offers comprehensive science-based lessons that show how mental/emotional and physical health problems are rooted in nervous system dysfunction. The online program offers clear, well-designed step-by-step tools you can do at home to actually reconfigure your nervous system.

Once your nervous system is more regulated, Primal Trust holds your hand through deep, gentle trauma healing. There are live classes, recorded classes, support groups, live practice sessions, and much more. The community is a super safe place and an incredible wealth of support!

I am delighted to offer personalized support through Primal Trust as a 1:1 Mentor.

More about my journey of healing from chronic illness

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad I’m here! After intense health challenges for almost two decades, I am unbelievably grateful for the health and joy I now experience on a daily basis. 

I was sick for about 17 years, and even before that I had chronic PTSD and anxiety, as well as severe cases of perfectionism, codependency, and people-pleasing. I tried many, many healing modalities for my physical symptoms, including western and functional medicine. However, it was only when I addressed the internal root causes of my Nervous System dysregulation that I began to feel better. And what’s even better than feeling better?! It’s experiencing more wonder, connection, ease, and delight all the time. I also feel a deep self-love that I never knew before. My favorite tip for brain retainers: a slow and steady approach brings deep, long-lasting change. 

After a lifetime of anxiety, depression, and myriad physical ailments, I finally feel like I belong here in this world. It’s hard to believe the changes in my physical, mental, and emotional life. Even more surprising: I now see that my health challenges, as difficult and confusing as they were, actually led me back home to my whole True Self

It’s my honor and pleasure to help others meet themselves exactly where they are and create new pathways of ease, joy, love, and thriving. If my story or approach resonates with you, I’d love to connect for a session! I have been working one-on-one with clients for 7+ years. I specialize in: 

  • compassion and patience

  • easing people out of their head and into their heart and body

  • helping clients get to know their authentic self

  • healthy approaches to difficult conversations 

  • gently addressing the effects of trauma

  • shining a light on limitless possibility of any situation

  • infusing deep work with laughter and light 

It’s super helpful to find a mentor you connect with personally, who provides the kind of support you need at the time. Take a peek at some client notes to get an idea of what it’s like to work with me

Key health issues I’ve personally dealt with

Long-term chronic illness (17+ years), chronic fatigue and chronic PTSD, mold toxicity, chronic pain and inflammation, anxiety, brain fog, depression, food intolerances, cognitive issues, adrenal fatigue, SIBO, POTS, chemical sensitivity, light and sound sensitivity, sores and other skin problems, vision and eye issues, insomnia and nightmares, leaky gut, chronic UTI’s and other infections, numb hands and feet, inability to work, long-haul COVID, repeated soft tissue injuries, vertigo, loss of smell, dizziness/lightheadedness, extreme sun sensitivity, crippling arthritis in back and neck, parasites, hair loss, loss of balance and coordination, parenting with limbic impairment, exercise intolerance, feelings of terror and hopelessness, people pleasing, codependence, perfectionism, etc.

CLIENT EXPERIENCE

“Hi Candace, I wanted to reach out and share this, but it’s been hard to put into words. The shift that’s occurred for me since starting to work with you is absolutely shocking. I thought I was heading into a mid-life crisis. But now I’ve come into a way of being present that I’ve never experienced before. I couldn’t have imagined it before it happened. After an entire lifetime, I finally feel like I’m not in a hole. I feel more neutral, even at peace. And it’s not just siloed in certain parts of my life. It’s spread into all parts of my life. Thank you for walking me through the fear. Thank you for creating space for my inner self to breathe. I just can’t thank you enough.”
~ B.F.

All this work is starting to make me more productive in my life and work. I am slowly getting out of my funk and depression. I am addressing things I have been putting off for a long time. You have been a big part of that unblocking. Thank you.”
~ K.L.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE

~ Sasha

“Hi Candace, I'm really enjoying the class. My only complaint is that this week is our last :). I'll miss your guidance and the community of the group! I've found this practice really accessible, and I've been doing it a few times a day for at least a few minutes, and sometimes that turns into longer.” 
~ Lisa

"I love your classes, and they do bring me so much joy and a sense of freedom, and I want more of that."
~ Shannon
