Torchlight Series: Tonie Ruffino

Tonie Ruffino is a retired Air Force veteran, consciousness coach, and storyteller whose life has been shaped by profound trauma, loss, and hard-earned transformation. In this Torchlight evening, Tonie shares her journey from self-hatred to self-love, exploring how true healing happens not just in the mind, but through the body, nervous system, and lived experience. Blending military precision with intuitive wisdom, her story invites us to consider what it means to move from crisis to calm, and from understanding change to fully embodying it. The evening will conclude with a short Q&A, offering space for reflection, curiosity, and connection.
