Trauma Coaching
“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
— Dr. Gabor Maté
Trauma is what happens in the body and in the nervous system as a result of what happened to us, and in the absence of an empathetic witness. Whether it was a difficult once off event, a traumatic upbringing or the lack of compassionate support during a difficult time in your life, the nervous system goes into something called dysregulation as a kind of freeze or flight/flight protective response for a long period of time. When the body stays there, life becomes exhausting and scary. But the good news is, we don’t need to stay stuck there because healing is possible. We just need to work from the inside out to release the trauma response.
This work is both gentle and powerful and I will be there every step of the way with you. All you need is a willingness to heal and recover. Book a consultation with me to see how we can work together.
My signature coaching package takes you on an empowering journey of healing and recovery.
Together, we work towards building safety in the nervous system. We get a clear understanding of what is happening with hormones and we begin working towards your desired goals and outcomes. Through a holistic combination of tools and techniques as well as guidance on diet, lifestyle and pain management, we focus on unraveling stuck trauma responses and build new patterns towards regulation and safety in your body so that you can live the full life you desire.
This package is perfect for anyone who feels ready to commit to a process together in this work. Healing is not always comfortable or easy but staying stuck where we are isn’t comfortable either. Or perhaps it hasn’t been safe for you to reach out for support in the past and that is completely understandable. I am here with you every step of the way to hold the space for you, encourage you and guide you.
A powerful approach for unraveling trauma…
In my 1:1 coaching practice, I work from the stance that living with chronic pain and suffering is traumatic in and of itself, that navigating the medical system can be traumatic, and that the world can be a traumatising place if you identify as being part of a minority group. Any kind of oppression is traumatic and can leave a lasting impact on the way we lead our lives. For this reason, I take a holistic and systemic approach to working with trauma, always taking into account the context of your life and what you’ve endured.
Somatic Experiencing…
Using a combination of tools to work from a mind-body approach (Somatic Experiencing to work with the body, Family Constellations for generational trauma, Menstrual Cycle Awareness for women, and thought work tools), we work towards releasing stuck trauma energy from the body, and building safety and regulation back into the nervous system. Over time, this will allow you to feel safe in a calm nervous system state, to feel nourished in your body and empowered in your life.
“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.”
― Peter A. Levine
