Hi, I’m Rythea!

I’m an artist, activist, influencer, therapist, and mother using humor and performance to help people heal.

My website includes resources for healing trauma, parenting, art-making, empowerment, general inspiration, laughter, and sane-making connection. You’ll also find live performance work and music that came before all my video-making, go watch it!

Thank you for exploring! Your visit here matters.

MY STORY.

I am a non-coercive, collaborative mom to a tween kid. Through my own journey of facing a difficult childhood, and undoing patterns of oppression, I have come to not only cherish the moments of laughter in my life, but also dive deep into the fun of living.

I have been a trauma specialist for 28 years in private practice, serving people all over the country. I earned my Masters in Spiritual Psychology, and am a certified InnerBonding® counselor. My work focusses on trauma education, parts work, and learning daily tools for regulation.

In 2023, my point of view on parenting went viral on TikTok, and a whole platform of eager parents became part of my life. I now facilitate on-line support groups, mentor parents on the phone, and post in-depth and funny videos about my approach on YouTube.

Performance

Performance has been a doorway to finding my voice, often through humor— inviting people to grow, change, and wake-up along side me.

Live performances have led naturally to being a social media influencer and has connected me to artists, parents, activists, and change-makers. I’ve come to experience creativity as a path to imagining—and then creating—a future that includes community justice and community healing.

MY WORK.

I help parents transition from control-based, power-over parenting to non-coercion and collaboration.

My approach is funny, creative, informative, empathetic, and will deeply shift how you parent!

I facilitate parenting and therapeutic support groups, writing workshops, and peer counseling courses as well as performance art intensives and one-on-on parent-mentor sessions.
