We live in a trauma-fill world.
It is common for us to unintentionally cause pain to ourselves, our colleagues, and our clients if we have not educated ourselves about the impact of trauma on people, our work environments, and our communities.
We invite you to join us as we learn and work towards creating a positive change in the world.

Kiongozi Consulting is based on Coastal Miwok land.
To know whose land you are inhabiting just text your zip code or your city and state (separated by a comma) to (907) 312-5085 and the bot will respond with the names of the Native lands that correspond to that region. (The service currently only works for US residents, but may be available for other countries in the future.)
