Doris Bowman
Certified Trauma and Resilience Trainer/ Special Educator
Bowman Consulting Group/ HeartMath Institute/ Certified Collaborative Problem-Solving® (CPS) Trainer


-- Throughout a 20+ year career in special education, Doris has been a driving force in transforming how schools respond to students with chronic behavioral challenges and mental health needs. She's led top-tier district programs and restructured district systems for ED and OHI eligibility as well as FBAs and Behavior Plans, with a focus on building emotional, behavioral, social and self-regulation skills necessary for students to return to general education and thrive. -- Doris, along with her husband, Rick, (Team Bowman) are sought-after speakers, trainers and consultants, known for delivery of hope-filled professional development grounded in real, actionable strategies to reach students for whom solutions are often hardest to find. They have trained, coached, and volunteered internationally in locations such as Cuba, Russia, Jamaica, and Guatemala, broadening their perspective on resilience and healing. Their training is not just theoretical – it is deeply personal, and intended to be practical, rooted in neuroscience, and designed for immediate impact. -- What fuels Doris’s work is a relentless passion for equipping educators with trauma-informed, neuroscience-aligned practices that don’t just “chase compliance” by temporarily managing behavior, but instead, truly transform lives. In a field and a time where burnout is high and hope can feel scarce, Team Bowman’s sessions leave attendees feeling empowered, equipped, and ready to make a profound difference. ---- Doris Bowman’s qualifications include: - Graduate Certification - Applied Educational Neuroscience - Adv.
