Deah Baird

Deah Baird, ND, MS, LPC, LCMHC is a certified Hakomi therapist and licensed psychotherapist in private practice. As a Hakomi Trainer, she offers Hakomi trainings with gentleness and humor, aiming to share this powerful method with students, in hopes that it will touch the lives of those you work with. Hakomi has been the cornerstone of her work life since she first encountered it. She views Hakomi as the work of assisting others to be in a closer relationship with themselves, gently revealing the many layers of conditioning that shape our lives, and re-engaging with choicefulness. She sees this work as both individually transformative and potentially culture-shifting.

Previously, she has worked as adjunct faculty in the naturopathic medical program at N.U.N.M. and in their Masters in Integrative Mental Health program. She was Clinical Co-DIrector of the M.E.T.A. Counseling Clinic in Portland, Oregon, training and supervising graduate student interns in a clinic focused on providing mindful, somatic psychotherapy.

She has had a life-long career as a healer with an initial professional focus as a naturopathic physician and home-birth midwife. In addition to her private practice and teaching schedule, she currently is an active participant on both the Hakomi International Ethics Committee and the D.E.I. Action Group. After decades of urban life, she relocated to a life among the trees in rural, forested, southern New Hampshire in 2022.
