Trauma Informed Martial Arts

Trauma Informed Martial Arts (TIMA) is a unique program designed to help individuals recover from trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges through martial arts. Founded by psychotherapist LeeAnn Eakins, TIMA combines martial arts training with trauma-informed practices to create a safe and supportive environment. The program emphasizes personal empowerment and self-defense skills, helping participants reconnect with their bodies and build confidence. With a focus on somatic exercises, TIMA aims to regulate the nervous system and foster a sense of community among its members. The transformative stories of participants highlight the positive impact of this approach, making it more than just a self-defense class.
