Our story

Next-gen healing

In a world where crises unfold daily, bringing pain, violence, and acute stress, the need for effective emotional support has never been greater. Recognizing this growing demand, Dr. Cathy Lawi, PhD, PCC, founded EmotionAid® in 2009. A trauma therapist, international trainer, and former biotech executive, Dr. Lawi envisioned a solution for providing emotional first aid and short, efficient interventions to those suffering from the effects of intense stress and trauma.
