Wise Women Noelle(Left) and Katherine(Right)
About Noelle Bruno
My name is Noelle. I am a Native New Mexican with a diverse upbringing. I grew into my Wise Woman path while healing from addiction, feelings of powerlessness, and a mind-body split. I am a wife and mother of two sons and a daughter.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I hold a master's degree in Social Work. My practice focuses on working one-on-one with mothers, women, men, families, and children.
My life's work and personal experience have led me to a realization that most of us are surviving in life. Surviving is not true. Wholesome living is true, for me and you. My service is to guide and counsel people in learning how to call in their innate ability to heal. We can all live in the presence of grace, love, and peace.
Here is a glimpse of my service:
I have sat with mothers who lost their children to addiction, I helped them to embrace what is lost and to move forward with what is now. They taught me a mother's love never wavers and we rose together.
I found housing for a homeless man. That didn't work for him. He taught me that he has the right to self-determination and I taught him how to be resourced.
I sat in many circles with children, I taught them social/emotional skills. They taught me to take it easy.
I told injection drug users they were positive with Hepatitis C and HIV and witnessed their tears while they processed the diagnosis. I taught them to embrace the lesson in the lesson. They taught me that life in our bodies is not everlasting.
I held eyes with the women who sold their bodies for money and drugs. I respected them, they learned self-respect. They taught me perseverance.
I held the teenager's hand after the 3rd suicide attempt. We walked and talked about what would happen after death, he decided to live. He taught me that life was worth living.
I processed the sexual, physical, and mental abuse that so many of us endured as children and learned the meaning of powerlessness, presence, and self-forgiveness. I learned to forgive my abusers.
I have gathered women to teach the skills of mothering. They taught me that they already knew how to mother. We are coded to mother.
I sat in front of countless women who abandoned their inner knowing, to keep others happy. I taught them to nourish their sacred hearts and they taught me that we rise together.
I have witnessed, advocated, and worked closely with our children who have been neglected and abused. I taught them about feelings, love, and acceptance. They taught me resiliency.
I walked with women who wanted to end their marriages I taught them how to heal their inner child. They taught me I needed to tend to my marriage.
