All about Mao 🪷❤️🔥📖
Mao Beckett (she/they) is a second-generation Cambodian American and founder of Reset and Resilient Wellness. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from Boston College after seven years of active duty service in the Air Force in preventative medicine. As a liberation-centered, EMDR Therapy Certified somatic-spiritual therapist and guide, Mao integrates ancestral and spiritual practices with contemporary understandings of neurobiology and brain healing science, recognizing the nervous system’s innate capacity to rewire, repair, and create new pathways of resilience.
Rooted in a lineage of Kru Khmer, traditional Cambodian healers, she supports people in healing relational wounds, unlearning internalized oppression, and cultivating deeper connection with body, land, and community. Her work nurtures spaces where individual and collective healing flourish grounded in love, joy and compassion.
By engaging the body, mind, and spirit together, she helps people reconnect with their nervous systems, the land, reclaim their voices, and reimagine pathways toward liberation.
Our theme for October is SOFT.
It was chosen by our Victoria chapter in British Columbia, Canada and illustrated by Leah McInnis.
The world feels hard in so many ways. Couldn’t we all use more softness?
Soft is gentle, empathic, and vulnerable. But being soft is not a weakness. It is a sign of deeper strength. Having the courage to walk through life without armor. A willingness to listen before speaking. Welcoming whatever comes with open palms. Pulling someone close for a hug.
What if our work was softer? What would we make with a little tenderness? Art that truly resonates. Innovations that heal instead of harm. Communities that hold one another instead of tearing other people down.
Soft can be a quiet form of resistance. Practice subtlety, trust, and intimacy in a world that celebrates loud braggadocio, knee-jerk reactions, and blunt force.
Let’s snuggle up and let down our guard. Soft can be our salvation.
