HI, I'M CHRISTEN.
I’m Christen Berryman, founder of The Self Center. My journey into healing and self-discovery began at birth, but leveled up during my studies at The Ohio State University. In my program, I focused my studies on the many ways humans oppress, subdue, and harm one another in pursuit of power and material wealth. Immersing myself in the study of humanity's dark side left me emotionally drained and overwhelmed. By my senior year I was having panic attacks almost daily. As I struggled to finish my degree, my advisor suggested I try a yoga class which, combined with therapy, changed my life instantly. Yoga, meditation, and therapy drastically reduced my depression and anxiety enough that I could complete my degree. After graduating, I enrolled in yoga teacher training and I’ve been teaching ever since that turning point a decade ago. Since then I've expanded my understanding of trauma, the nervous system, and embodiment. My meditation and embodiment centered approach empowers students to create lasting change by using the most effective skills I've learned and practiced along my own journey.
It's an honor to come full circle, bringing the tools that healed me to a broader audience through The Self Center. This online community is for those interested in growth, healing, and self-discovery. Here, I combine ancient wisdom with modern science to equip my students with an actionable toolkit for navigating the complexities of life. The Self Center offers not only a supportive community but also a wide variety of practices designed to help each person uncover their wisest, most confident Self. As a lifelong learner and voracious researcher, I ensure that every tool and technique I share is grounded in evidence-based research and my own lived experience.
You are welcome as you are. There are essential truths living in the core of each of us and while we may disagree about what those truths might be, here at The Self Center you'll be guided through investigating the truth for yourself. We don't need a preacher or guru to access wisdom, we only need someone to remind us how to find the wisdom we contain within ourselves.
