**"I wrote Love, Sex, and Autism to expose the radical truth about neurodifference. I founded this center to give that truth a home."** — Candice Christiansen

Welcome to Namasté Center For Healing

The Namasté Center For Healing~

At Namasté Center For Healing, we believe your neurodifference isn't a barrier to intimacy—it is the very lens through which you experience the world, including your relationships, sex, and intimacy.

We provide a neuro-affirming sanctuary where individuals and couples can dismantle the shame often imposed by neurotypical relationship standards. We offer specialized support to help you heal the wounds of abuse and betrayal, and rebuild a sexual identity that feels authentic, safe, and profoundly yours.

Our Roots & Our Name~

The name Namasté Center For Healing is a tribute to the heritage of my husband Chris and the deep roots of his culture. In the traditions of his lineage, the Lotus is a powerful symbol of the human spirit.

A lotus does not grow in a sterile environment; its journey begins deep in the mud. It is Radical—literally of the root—firmly anchored in the earth while it reaches toward the light.

For the neurodifferent heart, healing from trauma and betrayal is much like the life of the lotus. We don’t ask you to ignore the "mud" of your past. Instead, we provide the steady, grounded environment—rooted in safety, autonomy, and cultural respect—where you can dismantle shame and bloom into your most authentic self.

At Namasté, we honor the light within you, and the roots that hold you steady.

Our Mission: Radical Healing for Neurodifferent Hearts~

Derived from the Latin radix, Radical means "of the root."
Trauma and betrayal recovery for Autistic and ADHD individuals and couples cannot be "surface-level." It requires a radical shift in how we approach healing. To us, Radical Support means:

Rooted in Reality: We meet your nervous system exactly where it is—honoring your sensory needs, your communication style, and your unique way of processing energy and emotions.
Rooted in Justice: We recognize that intimate partner violence and betrayal often thrive in the gaps where neurodifferent people are misunderstood. We address those roots directly.
Rooted in Autonomy: We believe that you are the expert on your own internal experience. Our role is to provide the steady ground for your heart to rediscover its own rhythm.

Speaking Your Language~

We choose the term neurodifferent because it honors the beautiful, distinct blueprint of your brain without comparing it to a "standard." Whether you are navigating the aftermath of abuse or seeking deeper intimacy, we provide a sanctuary where no "translation" is required.

Here, your difference is not a deficit; it is the foundation of your healing.

Why We Are Different~

Bridging the gap between lived experience and clinical recovery.

Identity and Person Centered Recovery: Your recovery should honor your neurodifferent wiring. We specialize in trauma support that respects how you uniquely navigate emotions, communication, and sensory input. We meet you exactly where you are, because we speak your language.Beyond the "Neurotypical" Standard: Most relationship advice is built for a specific type of brain. We throw out the "shoulds" and help you build a blueprint for intimacy based on how your brain and body actually connect.
Trauma-Informed & Shame-Free: Whether you are navigating the aftermath of betrayal or reclaiming your sexuality after abuse, we provide a gentle and supportive environment that honors your boundaries and your pace.
Radical Truth in Action: Inspired by the principles in Love, Sex, and Autism, our work is about more than just surviving; it’s about the radical liberation that comes from being fully seen and truly understood.
