About Wyot

I’m Wyot, an Integrative Trauma Practitioner, creative, and founder of HEAL WAVE™, the method I needed but couldn’t find.

This is where the work begins: where understanding ends and embodiment begins.
The body holds what the mind has already outgrown.
What starts as protection becomes pattern, and those patterns ripple through everything you are.

Your body
how you breathe, move, rest, and regulate

Your emotions and patterns
what you feel, avoid, and repeat

Your mind
how you think, focus, and make meaning

Your values and meaning
what guides you beneath circumstance

Your daily life
how you nourish, relate, and find rhythm

Your environment
how your spaces and surroundings shape your state

Your money and resources
how you earn, receive, and sustain what supports you

Your expression
how you create, contribute, and bring your purpose to life

Together, these shape the whole of you.

HEAL WAVE™ was never meant to replicate traditional medical or psychological care.
It moves beyond labels like stress, anxiety, depression, or complex trauma to meet what’s real—the body’s own language for what it’s been holding. Every system is bio-individual. Every story has roots.

This work is for the patterns talking couldn’t reach, the ones written into your breath, choices, and sense of safety.
It helps the body unlearn survival and remember how to live.

So, here we are.

For years, I looked steady on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. Overfunctioning, overthinking, underfeeling. I lived in a body that never stopped bracing.

What I bring now isn’t just insight; it’s integration: the lived understanding of how survival becomes identity and how to release it.

This work is gentle and deep. It meets you in the body, the mind, and the subtle layers beneath both.

It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping you return to wholeness.

I Don’t Flinch

Healing isn’t about feeling better. It’s about feeling safe — in your body, in your relationships, and in the patterns you never chose but learned to carry.

Regulation matters, but without deeper rewiring, the same triggers keep changing shape.

Most of my clients are capable, intuitive, and exhausted, still bracing beneath their calm. Burnout isn’t about doing too much; it’s about the survival strategies that never got to rest.

Calm is a start, but what transforms your life is clarity, coherence, and real choice.

We work at the level beneath words, where pain lives in breath, posture, and protection. The parts that fight, flee, freeze, or fawn aren’t problems to fix; they’re patterns ready to be integrated.

This isn’t about surviving better. It’s about coming home to yourself, safely, fully, for real this time.

The silence that shaped me

I didn’t grow up in a war zone, but my body lived through what couldn’t be named. Silence became safety. Achievement became armor. I learned to read a room before I could read a book, to keep the peace, to stay unseen.

You don’t need capital-T trauma to live in patterns. Sometimes it’s being rewarded for staying calm.
Or learning early that your needs were the quiet ones. Maybe no one hurt you, but no one saw you, and the result is the same: a life shaped around bracing, proving, pleasing.

Still, something in you remembers. I did too. Back then, I didn’t have the language. Now I do.

That same sensitivity that once kept me safe now lets me read the nervous system’s quiet language of protection—the way coherence feels before it’s spoken. That’s the work I do now: helping others listen where words once failed.

What Shifted

I was performing safety, managing pain behind productivity, calling it healing while holding my breath. Smiling like it was nothing.

Until one weekend, I couldn’t. That weekend nearly ended everything.

What came next was clarity: every part of me had to come with me, or none of it would hold.

Healing stopped being about fixing symptoms. It became the work of integration: finding the root, meeting the pattern, and teaching the body a new rhythm.

It wasn’t resilience. It was remembering how to live.

Not mindset work. Not trauma talk. A full-spectrum return to self-leadership in a body that finally feels like home.

This Isn’t New

I’ve been walking this path for over fifteen years—
first through survival, then through study,
and now through guiding others ready to rebuild from the inside out.

My work is grounded in lived experience
and informed by study in trauma science, somatic psychology, attachment repair, parts work, and integrative wellness—
all anchored in the body’s innate intelligence.

What I’ve learned again and again
is that healing isn’t found in one method.
It lives where evidence meets intuition,
where science meets sensitivity,
and where every system—nervous, emotional, relational, and sensory—finds its rhythm again.

In practice, this means helping people move from theory to embodiment—
from understanding safety to living it.

Breath, movement, mindfulness, sound, and sensory awareness become language.
Awareness becomes structure.
Rhythm becomes safety.

Healing, for me, isn’t about repair.
It’s about restoration—
of coherence, creativity,
and the capacity to live in a body that finally feels like home.

Collaborate

Integrative Practitioner. Writer. Speaker. Cultural Architect. Herald.

Rooted in Miami Beach, I bridge healing, culture, and design, bringing breathwork, somatic awareness, mindfulness, meditation, and sound into environments built for connection and restoration.

I partner with creative and wellness leaders to reimagine how environments can heal, translating the rhythms that restore the body into experiences that restore community. The goal isn’t performance. It’s presence. It’s rhythm that feels human again.

From retreats and cultural gatherings to installations and immersive programs, every experience is designed to move people from the inside out—where science meets sensitivity and wholeness becomes felt.

Speaking

I speak on healing, coherence, and creativity as catalysts for cultural evolution. My work bridges trauma science, mind-body-subtle integration, and design thinking to explore how wholeness can reshape how we live, lead, and create.

Rooted in tenderness, rebellion, and truth, my voice lives where science meets story and where coherence becomes culture.
