Through a Trauma-informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul

Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach Certification: What Makes This Training Different? If you've been searching for a  trauma-informed somatic coach certification , you've probably noticed there are hundreds of coaching, trauma and somatic trainings available today. Yet many experienced practitioners still tell me the same thing: "I know so much... but something still feels missing." In this episode, I...

In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul, I explore why anxiety, fear and resistance so often arise when we step into greater visibility and authority. I share a simple, trauma-informed three-step somatic process that supports you to meet moments of contraction, overwhelm or self-doubt with awareness, kindness, and nervous system wisdom - rather than pushing or bypa...

In this episode of my show  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul , I explore consent as a lived, embodied and nervous-system-based experience - not just something we agree to only at the level of the mind. I share why consent is foundational in trauma-informed somatic coaching and teaching, and why it is an ongoing, relational practice rather than a one-off agreement. We look at...

In this episode of  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul , I invite you into a gentle, embodied reflection on how to approach the year ahead with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust. As we move into 2026, it’s natural to feel a mix of hope, apprehension, and uncertainty about what lies ahead. But we can feel more empowered when we understand what we can control and what we...

This is a no-nonsense, honest co...

In today’s episode of  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul , I invite you into a quieter, slower, more honest conversation about the end of the year - a conversation that honours the body, nature, and the deeper wisdom that lives beneath our conditioning. December brings us into the darkest point of the year. And yet, in our Western culture, we push harder, speed up, plan more,...

In this episode of  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul , I talk about a pattern so many heart-led, deeply caring practitioners experience - pushing harder in every area of life until they reach exhaustion.

In today’s episode, I want to share three simple yet powerful guiding steps that I return to again and again - both in my personal journey and in my work with women practitioners.

So often when we’re in the process of growth or healing we question everything - our direc...

In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul , I want to offer you a somatic guide to working with inner resistance and self-sabotage  - seeing them not as failures, but as protective responses from your body, psyche, and soul.

In this episode of my show  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul , I’m exploring one of the most radical and healing practices at the heart of somatic coaching –  Embodied Listening .

In this episode of my show  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul , I share a story from almost 30 years ago during my NLP Master Practitioner training.

I experienced two very different ways of movin...

Words like these can feel alien or ev...

In this episode of my show:  Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul , I’m exploring two powerful layers of trust - self-trust and trust in Life itself.

Trusting Life means softeni...

In today's show episode of Through a Trauma-informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul, I am talking about something I see (and lived through myself) again and again: the connection between our nervous system and our capacity to receive - money, clients, visibility and success.
