Wanda Brothers, MA, LMFT

Wanda Brothers, MA, LMFT, is a Somatic Experiencing™ practitioner and certified in Dynamic Attachment Repair experience (DARe), somatic coach, and trauma-healing expert with over 23 years of clinical experience. For the past 17 years, she has specialized in the integration of neuroscience, physiology, and attachment theory to help clients resolve and heal deep-rooted wounds and restore emotional regulation.

In addition to her clinical practice, Wanda is a seasoned speaker, educator, and clinical supervisor. Her years as a professor at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) honed her ability to translate complex concepts into engaging, accessible language for both professional and public audiences. She regularly provides workshops and trainings on trauma and stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and relational healing for schools, businesses, and community organizations. Wanda also created the Educational Trauma and Resiliency program, a four-module training designed for teachers in underserved schools, equipping them with practical tools on trauma, attachment, and fostering resilience in students.

Her teaching is grounded in the understanding that human behavior is not solely a product of the mind but is deeply influenced by the body and automatic physiology. By helping clients and students learn how the autonomic nervous system shapes emotions and behaviors, Wanda empowers them to approach life’s challenges from a more regulated, resilient, and connected state.

Wanda’s work reflects her passion for creating a world with less stress, anger, and anxiety – and more capacity for love, peace, and vitality.
