Individual Coaching for Childhood Trauma

This is for adults who had to grow up too fast.

In individual coaching, you get:
• Help your mind-body when it feels scared or tight
• Tools to stop overthinking and self-blame
• Help understanding why you react the way you do
• Support with people-pleasing, shutting down, or feeling “too much”
• Simple mind-body tools you can use every day
• Support between sessions (access 24/7 to app) when the flare ups happen
• Monthly themed restorative yoga class
• Choose to engage in EMDR

You are not broken.
Your body learned how to survive.
Now we help it feel safe.

Couples Stress Coaching

This is for couples who love each other but keep getting stuck.

In couples coaching, you get:
• Help slowing down fights before they get big
• Tools to feel heard and understood
• Help stopping the same fight from happening again
• Ways to calm your bodies during stress
• Support fixing things after conflict
• Less blame. More teamwork.

It’s not you vs. your partner.
It’s you and your partner vs. the stress.

Healing can happen alone.
Healing can happen together.
You don’t have to do this by yourself

Ever wonder why you:
• overthink everything
• people-please
• fear conflict
• feel “too much” or “not enough”
• shut down when someone is upset
• struggle to say what you need

…it might not be your personality.

It might be how you learned to survive.

In today’s episode, I talk about:
✨ What emotionally immature parenting actually looks like
✨ How it impacts our nervous system + relationships
✨ Why you learned to stay quiet, hyper-aware, or “easy”
✨ The difference between having emotions and not being allowed to have them
✨ Why this isn’t your fault — and never was
✨ How healing happens through safe connection, not self-blame

If you grew up feeling like:
– You had to keep the peace
– Your emotions were “too much”
– You had to grow up too fast
– You learned to read the room before being yourself

…this episode is for you.

And if you’re a parent or provider worried about “messing it up” — take a breath.
Struggling ≠ emotionally immature.
Repair, curiosity, and connection matter more than perfection. 🤍

I spent years wondering… Why did my mom hate me so much?

Why was her love conditional. Why her words cut deeper than she probably knew. Why I constantly felt like I wasn’t enough.

Childhood trauma leaves scars that follow us into adulthood — shaping how we see ourselves, our relationships, and even the way we try to survive.

Healing doesn’t mean excusing the past. It means finally giving yourself the compassion, safety, and understanding you didn’t get as a child.

This is something I hear often in coaching.

Most people don’t come because they’re unaware.
They come because they’re stuck in their situation, their thoughts, their feelings.

They’ve tried other forms of care.

They’ve done the insight work.

And somehow… they’re still looping.

What’s usually missing isn’t effort or intelligence.
It’s mind–body understanding, real support, and someone helping translate awareness into what to actually do next.

Feeling less stuck doesn’t mean everything is fixed.
It means your system finally feels supported, understood, and empowered enough to move.

And that matters more than people realize.

Looking for more understanding, support in between sessions, more concrete tools, more mind-body education & empowerment, and not talking in circles?

Conflict isn’t ruining your relationship.
Flooding is.

If fights get big fast…
If your body shuts down…
If you say things you don’t mean or go quiet…

This is called flooding.

It happens a LOT in couples with:

childhood trauma

emotional neglect

emotionally immature parents

chronic stress

people who learned to stay safe by people-pleasing, shutting down, or exploding

When flooding hits, your body thinks:
“I’m not safe.”

So you can’t listen.
You can’t think.
You can’t stay calm.

This is not bad communication.
This is trauma stored in the body.

Most couples therapy teaches what to say.
I teach couples how to feel safe enough to say it.

That’s the difference.

In my couples coaching and trauma-informed work, we:
💙learn and work with the mind & body
💙stop the same fight on repeat
💙build safety during conflict
💙heal old survival patterns
💙create real repair and connection

If you want help with:
couples conflict
relationship anxiety
trauma and relationships
emotional triggers
childhood trauma healing
Mind & Body Soothing

You’re in the right place.

You’re not broken.
Your body learned how to survive.

DM me “COUPLES” or “FLOODING” to learn how we work with this.
