Trauma-Informed Life Coaching
Ready to dismantle shame and re-write you life story?
Some women go through life carrying this heavy burden of shame. It’s like they are wearing a coat made of bricks—each brick a moment of trauma, criticism, or judgment. This is where I come in. I help them take that coat off, piece by piece. I use my own life experiences, trauma-informed coaching, and EFT tapping techniques to show these women that they’re not alone. It’s not just about saying, “Hey, let’s forget the past,” but rather, “Let’s confront it, understand it, and transform it by unshaming it, so you can be your true self.”
What makes this such a powerful experience is that we don’t just stop at breaking down shame; I guide women through building up new stories about who they are and what they’re capable of. I introduce them to emotional freedom techniques and help them establish core values that align with their true selves, not the selves they’ve been told to be. And the results? They’re not just surviving; they’re thriving. They form relationships that are emotionally fulfilling, they learn to love themselves deeply, and above all, they finally feel free and present in their own lives. I give them the tools to totally transform their lives from the inside out.
How Can a Life Coach Help?
Life coaching can sometimes feel like a luxury rather than a necessity. Here are 10 ways a life coach can have a great impact:
- Clarity & Focus: Life can be chaotic. A life coach helps you clear the fog and figure out what you really want, focusing your energy on what matters.
- Accountability: You’re less likely to bail on a workout if a friend is waiting for you at the gym, right? Same principle. A life coach keeps you accountable to your goals.
- Unbiased Support: Friends and family mean well, but their advice often comes with personal biases. A life coach offers objective guidance, no strings attached.
- Emotional Skills: Whether it’s dealing with stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem, a life coach can equip you with coping strategies.
- Boosting Confidence: Sometimes you just need someone to believe in you before you can believe in yourself. A coach can be that person, helping build your self-confidence.
- Work-Life Balance: Juggling career, home, and self can be nuts. A life coach can help you find a balance that doesn’t leave you burnt out.
- Career Guidance: Whether it’s a job change, a promotion, or starting a business, a coach can provide actionable steps to make your career goals a reality.
- Communication Skills: Struggle with saying what you mean or setting boundaries? A coach can help improve your communication skills, which is a game-changer in all areas of your life.
- Relationship Building: If forming or maintaining relationships is a challenge, a life coach can help identify the issues and offer solutions for more fulfilling connections.
- Personal Development: Want to grow but not sure how? A life coach can guide you through the maze of personal development, from identifying limiting beliefs to nurturing your strengths.
How Do I Find the Right Coach for Me?
This is such an important question to ask yourself BEFORE you hire a coach. Finding the right coach can kinda feel like dating, you know? It’s all about finding that perfect match. So here are some tips to help you choose:
- 1. Know Your Needs: What are you looking for? Career guidance, personal growth, relationships, or maybe a mix?
- 2. Do Your Homework: Check websites, reviews, and socials. Get a feel for their style.
- 3. Check Credentials: Look for legit certifications, especially if you’re after specialized coaching.
- 4. Meet With Them (Free Call): Take advantage of free discovery sessions. It’s like a mini-test drive.
- 5. Trust Your Gut: If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t, so don’t ignore that feeling.
- 6. Ask Questions: Don’t hold back! Ask about their style, experiences, and success stories.
- 7. Discuss Cost & Time: Know what you’re getting into in terms of rates and commitment.
- 8. Check References: Chat with past or current clients for the inside scoop.
- 9. Give it Time: Rome wasn’t built in a day. Commit to a few sessions before making a call.
- 10. Review & Adjust: Take a step back after a few sessions. Is it working? If not, don’t be afraid to switch it up.
The Importance of Being Trauma-Informed.
The number one priority for me when working with clients is SAFETY so being Trauma-Informed is a big deal, especially when you’re diving into the deep stuff like shame, past experiences, and emotional blocks. Here’s why it matters:
- 1. Safety First: Trauma can make people feel super vulnerable. A trauma-informed coach creates a safe space where clients can open up without fear of judgment or re-traumatization.
- 2. Tailored Approach: Not everyone reacts to trauma the same way, right? A trauma-informed coach understands this and tailors their approach to meet each individual’s unique needs.
- 3. Trigger Awareness: A coach who doesn’t get the nuances of trauma might accidentally trigger a client. Being trauma-informed means being sensitive to potential triggers and knowing how to navigate them.
- 4. Deep Healing: We’re talking about more than just surface-level changes here. A trauma-informed coach gets to the root of the issue, which can lead to profound, long-lasting healing.
- 5. Building Resilience: It’s not just about dealing with past trauma but also about equipping clients with the tools to handle future challenges in a healthier way.
- 6. Empowerment: Trauma can leave people feeling powerless. A trauma-informed approach focuses on empowerment, helping clients reclaim control over their lives.
- 7. Whole-Person Focus: Trauma affects the mind, body, and spirit. A trauma-informed coach addresses all these aspects, providing a more holistic form of healing.
- 8.Informed Consent: A trauma-informed coach understands the importance of informed consent and boundaries, ensuring that the client is always in control of their own healing journey.

Step 2: Dissect & Dismantle
Once we’ve spotlighted your core challenges in Step 1, we roll up our sleeves for the transformative work of Step 2. Utilizing advanced EFT Tapping techniques coupled with cognitive restructuring, we begin the process of tearing down the walls of limiting beliefs and self-defeating behaviours that have kept you confined. We dig deep into the structures of your thoughts and emotions, deconstructing the negative patterns to pave the way for renewal.

Step 3: Reframe & Rebuild
Now that we’ve removed the roadblocks, it’s time to begin the exciting work of constructing a stronger, more resilient you. During this phase, we leverage a variety of tools such as guided visualization, focused EFT Tapping sessions, and strength-based coaching techniques. We partner in building not just a new set of empowering beliefs, but also the behaviors that make those beliefs a tangible reality. Imagine it as carefully laying down the bricks and mortar for the remarkable life story you’re about to author.
Outcome: By the end of this stage, you’ll have laid the groundwork for a resilient mindset, fully equipped to navigate future challenges with newfound confidence and grace.
