About Me
Rick Rodgers MSW, LCSW
I am a combat veteran, certified iRest® teacher, yoga instructor, and lifelong animal lover. My approach to somatic movement and meditation grew out of my own journey of learning how to navigate stress, trauma, overwhelm, and the challenges of living in a high-demand world.
As someone who is AuDHD and served 14 years in the military, I spent much of my life trying to understand why conventional approaches to well-being worked for some people but never seemed to address the deeper struggle of feeling grounded, focused, and truly at ease. Through years of personal practice, professional training, and lived experience, I came to understand that lasting resilience involves more than intellectual insight alone. It requires learning how to work directly with your mind, body, and nervous system as a whole.
My work brings together somatic movement, evidence-based iRest® Meditation, and nervous system regulation in a practical, grounded way. I believe growth and recovery are not about fixing what is wrong with you—they are about understanding how you are wired, developing body-based self-awareness, and building practical tools to live with greater clarity, balance, and sustainable energy.
The practices I teach are not concepts I learned only from books or certifications. They are tools that helped me move through my own challenges and create a more grounded, meaningful life. Today, I help others do the same.
I work with adults, neurodivergent individuals, athletes, high performers, and anyone navigating stress, trauma, burnout, sleep struggles, or major life transitions. My goal is to provide an accessible, supportive space where you can strengthen your capacity to handle life’s demands, down-regulate your system, and develop strategies that lead to real recovery.
At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: you are not broken. Real recovery begins when you learn to work with yourself rather than against yourself.
