What is Trauma-Informed Coaching?
Unlike life coaching, which often focuses solely on mindset and goal-setting, trauma-informed coaching also works with the body and nervous system. The goal is to identify the patterns that keep you stuck, regulate your body’s responses, and shape your ability to move forward. We’ll explore the areas where you are experiencing resistance and create goals that support your personal growth towards clarity and self-trust. Healing happens not through willpower alone, but by working with your body’s innate healing capacity.
My Approach
My approach weaves together education and experiential tools to create a foundation for deep mind-body healing. Each coaching session is a collaborative journey where we tune into what your body is communicating and explore the negative beliefs that may be holding you back.
Understanding your nervous system is key to understanding yourself. That’s why education is a foundational part of this work. When you learn why your body reacts the way it does, those reactions become less frightening. You begin to see that they’re not personal failures, but learned survival patterns—and what’s been learned can be unlearned.
At the same time, true healing goes beyond insight. The nervous system speaks through sensation, not just thought. While mindset work and self-reflection are valuable, lasting change happens when your body feels safe—not just when your mind understands what’s happening. That’s where experiential tools come in. Using techniques rooted in EMDR, Somatics, and Parts Work (IFS), we don’t just tell your nervous system how to regulate—we show it, gently guiding it back to safety and balance.
By integrating education with body-based practices, this work offers a path toward both understanding and embodiment—helping you not just think differently, but truly feel differently in your own body.
Coaching Methods
“What stands out is her ability to teach and simplify complex concepts with visual aids, which helps me truly understand and grasp what I’m learning. This has built my trust in her guidance, allowing me to express myself more fully than I ever have with anyone else. The impact of this work is profound—I leave each session with a greater awareness of my past thoughts and memories, and I view them with more compassion and without judgment. I honestly feel safe to be exactly who I need to be in the moment."
