Somatic Trauma Therapy. Parent Coach. Traditional Coach

Certified clinical and integrative somatic trauma therapy

and strategic traditional coaching

A safe space to recover. Reclaim your voice. Heal your truth. For women who are ready to see clearly, trust themselves, and speak their truth.

Bridging the Gap Between Insight and Action

Traditional coaching is an effective partnership for identifying goals and improving life outcomes. However, for those navigating complex trauma, cognitive strategies often hit a biological ceiling. When the nervous system is stuck in a survival response, "thinking your way out" is insufficient.

My practice integrates Clinical Somatic Trauma Therapy with Strategic Coaching to address the physiological roots of these obstacles while building a roadmap for your future.

Precision Methodology:

Somatic Regulation (Bottom-Up): We use neuroscientific and body-based modalities to stabilize the nervous system and release stored trauma. This moves you from survival mode into a state of safety, providing the physiological foundation necessary for growth.

Strategic Coaching (Top-Down): Once regulated, we apply traditional coaching to clarify your objectives, establish healthy boundaries, and implement actionable plans to live an authentic, fulfilled life.

Rapid Root Resolution: We bypass the "talk-therapy loop" to identify and resolve core obstacles quickly. Our focus is on achieving profound shifts without the risk of re-traumatization.

This integrated approach ensures that your recovery is balanced across mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to reclaim your integrity and sovereignty.

Coaching encompasses: inquisitive and introspective questioning, neuroscientific & neurobiological techniques, somatic modalities, experiential modalities, holistic modalities including energy work (EFT, breathwork, sound, and intuition), The Adult Chair® model, coercive control awareness and recovery, meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, inner child, and parts work.

How do I get started?

The first step is to book a session, package, or attend a workshop. Or you can book a discovery conversation, we will get an idea of how well we work together and what our next steps should be from there.
