Theresa Drum
Interactive Meditation and Research
Theresa Drum is a trauma specialist. She hosts a complimentary weekly class on the impact of meditation and creating a context. A context is a lens through which you look at your life in the moment, such as gratitude or joy or persistence. She has worked as an educator for 40 years in a variety of private and public settings. At Yale University, she worked in an adolescent trauma unit in the ’80s and worked in the Boston prison system with adolescents. She has also served on the Boston/Waltham in-home team for suicidal and traumatized children. She went into homes with clinicians to wrap support around children and that’s when she started meditation training.
Currently, she's working with Dr. Joe Dispenza in his intensive training in Italy and in the United States. Joe Dispenza created the movie, “What the Bleep?” He is a neuroscience specialist and one of the top trainers in the world.
Theresa is on the NamaStay Sober Board, a non-profit that gives support and complimentary memberships to people in early recovery from addictions including eating disorders and debt. Their mission is to aid those in recovery by reconnecting their bodies and minds through affordable yoga, fitness, meditation, and wellness-focused community events. NamaStay Sober was founded by her daughter, Nico Longo, who was an intern for Eat to Thrive and had a severe eating disorder.
