DR. YEDIDYA TABANPOUR
I am a multiracial, multicultural second-generation immigrant rooted in the traditions of Northern Africa and the Middle East. My work weaves East Asian medicine, trauma-informed care, and psychosomatic facilitation to support healing for those carrying immigrant stories and intergenerational wounds. I help transform pain into vitality and deeper self-awareness, offering a compassionate space to reconnect with body, mind, and spirit. https://www.emanencemedicine.com/

NATASHA KUHN
My refugee experience from the Bosnian war shaped my personal understanding of trauma's impact on individuals and families. Through training and professional experience, I use trauma-informed somatic work to create compassionate spaces where people can navigate displacement, cultural transitions, and intergenerational healing while discovering wholeness within themselves.
