My name is Evvie Ormon Lionheart, and I specialize in integrating somatic awareness into climate and conservation work, offering a unique approach to sustainability, resilience, and effective communication. My work bridges the science of nervous system regulation with the urgency of climate action, helping individuals and organizations navigate the emotional and psychological weight of ecological crises.

I have spent years exploring how trauma responses—especially denial, shutdown, and hypervigilance—manifest in climate communication and conservation efforts. This intersection is critical: the way we process and communicate about climate realities directly impacts public engagement, policy effectiveness, and the mental well-being of those on the front lines. Whether you are working in conservation, climate journalism, education, or grassroots activism, I provide tools to help you sustain your work, foster more effective dialogue, and avoid burnout.

Through my tailored somatic workshops and training, I guide teams and organizations in recognizing how their own nervous system states influence their approach to climate solutions. By learning body-based techniques for resilience, participants leave with a greater capacity to navigate complex emotions, hold space for community adaptation, and shift climate messaging in ways that engage rather than overwhelm.

I offer workshops and consulting on the following topics:

𖤓 Somatic Awareness for Conservation – Understanding trauma response’s impacts on climate communication and how to engage ourselves and our communities without triggering shutdown or resistance.

𖤓 Climate Somatics & Resilience for Frontline Workers – Body-based practices for sustaining long-term engagement in conservation and climate justice work.

𖤓 Psych-Education 101: Connection Skills for Embodied Conversations – Emotional literacy skills for navigating everyday conflicts: emotional activation cycles, managing trauma triggers, and setting boundaries.

𖤓 Somatics for Emigration, Forced Migration & Climate Refugees – Equipping displaced communities and those who support them with nervous system regulation tools and trauma-aware communication approaches.

𖤓 Intergenerational Healing & Environmental Stewardship – Addressing colonial histories and power dynamics, indigenous ecological knowledge, and racialized trauma in conservation work.

I bring an embodied, practical, and deeply compassionate approach to my facilitation. My trainings blend scientific research, indigenous wisdom, and personal experience to create spaces that foster genuine connection, learning, and transformation.

If your organization is navigating climate grief, struggling to communicate climate realities effectively, or looking for new ways to integrate well-being into your conservation efforts, I would love to collaborate. Let’s work together to create more sustainable, just, and emotionally resilient movements for environmental protection and climate justice.
