Transgenerational Healing and Historical Trauma Recovery have long been the focus of somatic therapist Dr. Ruby Gibson. In 1995, she developed Somatic Archaeology© to help those in recovery from chronic pain, repetitive familial patterns, historical amnesia, cultural trauma, grief, addictions and despair.
As a woman of mixed descent (Mediterranean/Lakota) who embraces many traditions, Ruby brings 35 years of experience as an international educator, certified somatic therapist, and author of My Body, My Earth, The Practice of Somatic Archaeology. A seasoned humanitarian and gifted writer, she began her spiritual journey at the age of 13 and has spent her life in service to the healing of Mother Earth and the betterment of her community.
In Summer 2015, her non-profit group, Freedom Lodge, received a grant to
open the Black Hills Historical Trauma Research & Recovery Center in Rapid City, SD. Dr Ruby believes that we can translate historical trauma into present day psychological/spiritual advantage.
Dr Ruby is excited for her next campaign, the Khonmadi Project., to be released in September 2025. The mother of 4 children and 5 grandchildren, Dr Gibson has hope for the future.
