What is Trauma?

The guiding principles of trauma recovery are the restoration and empowerment   Recovery does not necessarily mean complete freedom from post traumatic affects but generally it is the ability to live in the present without being overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of the past. 

Trauma changes lives.

Trauma has a significant impact on a survivors’ emotional and physical health. Many develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which changes the way they relate to themselves and the world around them. 

Other survivors also battle depression, anxiety and insomnia. They are at significant risk of developing addictions to drugs, alcohol and food, as this helps them numb the pain of their trauma. 

Most survivors cannot recover on their own. They need help to recover from these after effects. And yet there is a significant lack of trauma informed mental help professionals around the globe.  

This is where Trauma Recovery Coaching comes in. 

We work with trauma survivors as peers, mentors, guides and educators with the goal of helping them understand the recovery process, reconnect with themselves and the world while using their strengths to build a life they love living. 

A non-judgemental space.  Support.  Empathy. Trust. Recovery. Healing. Self-Love.  

We are NOT counsellors, psychiatrists or psychologists, but rather trauma informed guides.  We provide a trusting, supportive, empathetic environment and a non-judgemental space so that you can help yourself overcome the darkness and live your life with contentment and happiness.  

My signature 12 week Tauma Recovery Coaching program is for individuals who are struggling with their health and mental wellness, have been through trauma or who have been through the foster care system and are still having a difficult time navigating through life.  We work on your unique situation and dive into what you need to positively support your physical and mental health. 

Each week we will focus on what you need in order to help with the healing process, build confidence, self-esteem, reduce and manage stress and anxiety, and bring you closer to wellness and recovery. 

Sometimes when we are struggling, all we need is a listening ear and someone who "gets it".   A trauma survivor who has "been there", has clawed their way out of the darkness to reach their healing journey, and is also trauma informed and educated knows how difficult healing and recovery is.  But, let me tell you from experience,  there is HOPE and there is HEALING.

I see you.  I hear you. Your trauma and responses are valid.  You are worthy. You are loved.  I am here for you.
