Defenders Gateway Episode 6

From one patriot to another…the Defenders Gateway podcast with Ray Tuggle is designed to give active military, veterans and first responders a voice to tell their stories about how they’ve answered their nation’s call, and to share how they are making an impact on their families, community and nation.

Elaine Brewer is a Fitness and Wellness Professional and the Founder of Humble Warrior Wellness Center.

Elaine is a 15yr military spouse. Her husband is a 20yr veteran of the Navy Special Operations community. After experiencing so much trauma and loss within her husband’s military unit, she decided to shift her focus from her physical health background to incorporate mental health resilience as well. She quickly recognized the restorative and therapeutic properties with the mind/body connection that yoga and meditation provide along with the undeniable benefits it offers those who have experienced trauma in their lives. These are skills and practices she desires to introduce and make readily available to the military, first responders, and medical professionals, that can bring harmony and balance to the hyper vigilant and traumatic work environments these heroes experience every day.

After visiting the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE), a specialized branch of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Elaine was inspired to create a wellness center for veterans, first responders, and medical personnel. Witnessing what an encouraging and healing atmosphere it was for our service members battling post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and other mental health issues had a huge impact on her and is the driving force behind Humble Warrior Wellness Center.
