About Green Tree Mind
We believe there’s more to you than just your joints and muscles – your bones are attached to your thoughts, feelings, environments, relationships, culture and belief systems.
We believe that the journey of healing is a process – both linear and labyrinthian, both science and mystery.
We believe that pain is four-dimensional – physical, emotional, social and spiritual. All expressions of pain look nearly identical on brain scans. For example, if you experience rejection, it looks like you broke your leg on a brain scan. If someone you love dies, your brain experiences it as a limb amputation.
We believe that you alone can do it, but you cannot do it alone.
We believe that we live in a society that programs us to want quick fixes. We like them too, but humbly recognize that deeper healing takes the time it takes. Sometimes it’s fast, often it’s slow….
We believe that humor and play are necessary ingredients to finding the post-traumatic joy in your life… it’s often awkward but worthwhile to do it anyway.
Green Tree Mind was created to help people reconnect with themselves—through the intelligence of the nervous system, the wisdom of the body, and steadfastness of the Human Spirit.
Our work sits at the intersection of science, heartful experience, and practical applications. We don’t aim to fix you—we help you understand yourself in a way that creates real, sustainable change.
Our Approach.
Healing begins when someone says, “Come sit with me,” instead of, “Let me fix you.”
The left brain wants to fix things – and there is a time and place for that. And we have found that if we only use that left hemispheric perspective, and don’t include right brain approaches, it creates an imbalance, similar to rowing a boat with only one oar.
We aim to restore balance so that you can use both hemispheres with greater dynamic equilibrium.
We need both – and our society is biased heavier towards Left Dominance. While the hemispheres do have some specialized functions, healing requires an integrated brain.

Our Work.
Together, Renee and Robyn co-create spaces where people can practice something different.
Through the community membership, group workshops, and individual sessions, their offerings help people:
- Understand the language of their nervous system
- Build capacity for emotion and stress
- Experience connection in a safe, grounded, and real way
- Develop practical tools that support everyday life
The work is simple, but not always easy.
And it’s not meant to be done alone.
