Lumos Transforms is a US-based social enterprise advancing trauma-informed, embodied approaches to resilience, healing, and systems transformation. Our work integrates nervous system science, collective care, and structural analysis to support sustainable change across healthcare, education, arts, and social movement ecosystems.
