Not many practitioners are as devoted to their craft as Lou Lebentz. Her innovative and passionate approach to trauma, combining research and extensive experience in clinical practice makes Lou the go-to expert and leader in this field. 

Lou Lebentz, big hearted visionary and long-term expert in the trauma and addiction field, is a totally inspiring and thought provoking speaker. Down to earth, funny and engaging, you can hear a pin drop when she delivers what are highly entertaining speeches on subjects that none of us can afford not to pay attention to.  

I've seen Lou Lebentz speak many times and had the pleasure of working with her she’s one of the most passionate and engaging speakers I’ve encountered. Whether leading a workshop or commanding a keynote stage, she captivates any audience with charm, energy, and heartfelt connection. Lou is both inspiring and deeply moving, making every talk a powerful experience. I highly recommend her for any event she’s truly remarkable.

Last year, I was lucky enough to take part in The Voyage, and found it deeply engaging from start to finish. Each week explored a stage of the trauma journey with care, clarity, and compassion. Lou and the team created a supportive space where we could fully absorb the material, ask questions, and practice self-care along the way. The course was rich with knowledge and practical tools I now use in my work in recovery. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of trauma and healing.

I had the privilege of joining Lou Lebentz’s Voyage in 2023 a truly transformative experience. The course offered a deep dive into trauma theory and the mind-body connection, blending theory with practical strategies for healing. What set it apart was its emphasis on holistic understanding, self-reflection, and personal growth. I walked away with not just valuable knowledge and tools, but a renewed passion to support others through trauma with compassion and empathy. This training has profoundly impacted both my personal and professional life I cannot recommend it highly enough.

One word only to describe Lou Lebentz: GOAT. Lou is to Trauma as Stephen Porges is to Polyvagal. Participating in the Voyage® has been the most impactful training in my personal development and recovery journey. Lou's soothing voice and gentle yet playful approach to traumatic experiences in life bring a safe tone to an otherwise heavy topic. Each session built upon the previous, and I felt seen and supported as I explored situations and circumstances of my life I had never thought to be "traumatic". Lou has truly allowed me to help myself, so that I may continue to help others.

Today’s one day Voyage Experience was a powerful journey of learning and self-discovery. Through meaningful conversations, somatic exploration, and practical tools, it offered deep insight into the layered nature of trauma healing. I left with renewed motivation and a heartfelt appreciation for the courage and integration this work invites. A huge thank you to Lou and the team it was truly a gift.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Lou, and I can confidently say her impact in the trauma recovery field is both profound and pioneering. Her creation of The Voyage® methodology demonstrates a rare ability to blend cutting-edge neuroscience with somatic practices and soul-based healing—making trauma recovery accessible and transformative.
