OUR STORY

I am LeeAnn Eakins, LISW-S, a psychotherapist with over 18 years experience who specializes in trauma treatment. I am also a martial artist, a Certified Instructor and 4th Degree Blackbelt with the Maududo Federation.

TIMA isn’t just a self-defense class. I have combined my knowledge and expertise of my passions to found, develop and implement this Trauma Informed Martial Arts class. It is specifically designed to help people recover from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and other mental health issues through martial arts. The TIMA program helps you find YOUR own personal power, YOUR voice and it does so in a safe and healthy TIMA community.

TIMA uses somatic exercises to help regulate your nervous system.

What TIMA Can Do To Help

I’m happy to say I have heard so many stories about how TIMA has played a positive role in people’s lives. One of my favorites is the story of a woman (we’ll call her Sara) who came to class not being able to walk outside alone. I was not aware of this at the time she started the class. Sara had even signed up for class with a friend and they always came together. Then one day she ended up being the only student there with me and she shared how TIMA had helped her step outside of her comfort zone and she couldn’t believe she had come to class alone. She said that TIMA helped her feel comfortable and confident enough that she could now walk outside alone again. I was blown away!

A few weeks after her class session was over, Sara sent me a text while she was on vacation about how she had been able to complete a 4-mile walk outside- ALONE. She was thrilled and told me that any time she felt any anxiety during the walk, she just started going over the self-defense moves from TIMA and this calmed her.

To know that we’ve been able to help Sara find her own power, control, and independence in her life, is truly heartwarming.

PROGRAMS

TIMA is an 6-week self-defense class that meets for one hour weekly. I have blended lessons from martial arts with recovery information in a trauma-informed manner to help our students. I should note here that this is not a trauma discussion type of group. Students are never expected to talk about their personal information. It is an active martial arts class provided in a way that encourages safety and reconnection to the body; things that are important when one has experienced trauma.
