Ya'ah'teh. My name is Nazbah Tom. I am Diné. I currently reside on the land of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory (aka Napanee) in what is currently known as Canada.
My work has included practicing therapy at a community health centre in San Francisco Bay Area. I transitioned to a Program Director position supporting staff offering HIV and HepC wrap around services from testing in to treatment for community members. During graduate school at CIIS (California Institute of Integral Studies) I was introduced to somatics through generative somatics (abbreviated as gs) founded in Oakland, CA. After leaving my post at the community health centre, I moved to Tkaronto and started my somatics practice full time to work with individuals and groups. During this time I also made connections with organizations and offered workshops, somatic groups, and spoke on panels for various conferences and gatherings.
Currently, I am transitioning from one-on-one work and focusing more on offering supervision/consultation with other practitioners, offering somatic groups with colleagues, creating somatic skills building workshops to share with organizations and agencies for their staff or community members, and speaking on panels with various universities, agencies and organizations about my work as a somatic practitioner and as a writer.
In terms of my writing, I am currently working on expanding a short story into a longer form project, perhaps a novella or novel. I am interested in poetry, speculative fiction, fiction, and non-fiction as a writer and reader.
