Trauma Informed Life Coaching

Trauma-informed life coaching offers a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space.  This approach recognises how past experiences can shape thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses, and gently works with the nervous system to create lasting, meaningful change.

Together, we explore self-limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, helping you build greater self-awareness and self-trust. Through this process, you can begin to strengthen resilience, develop healthier patterns, and feel more grounded in who you are.

This work is especially supportive during times of change and transition. Whether you are navigating a new chapter, rebuilding after a difficult period, or feeling called to start again, coaching can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

We also focus on reconnecting you with your sense of purpose—helping you uncover what truly matters to you, so you can make aligned decisions and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

As a trauma informed coach, this means I have a deep understanding of trauma and how this can affect us.

Trauma is the emotional, psychological, and physical response to an experience (or series of experiences) that feels overwhelming, distressing, or unsafe. It’s not just about what happened, but how your body and mind experienced and processed it. This can affect how you think, feel, relate to others, and respond to stress.

Trauma can come from many different experiences, such as:

It’s important to understand that trauma is deeply personal—what feels overwhelming to one person may not feel the same to another. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to experience it. At its core, trauma is a natural response of the nervous system trying to protect you.

Trauma-informed coaching is about growth with understanding.  It meets you where you are, supports you through challenging times, and empowers you to move forward with confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Working with Elise completely redefined my understanding of personal growth. Her trauma informed coaching approach created a deeply secure, judgment free space where I could navigate past patterns without feeling overwhelmed. I didn’t just reach my goals; I healed the foundational blocks holding me back. Elise is exceptionally skilled, compassionate, and intuitive.

Before working with Elise, I felt stuck in cycles of self doubt. Her trauma informed approach didn't just give me surface-level motivation; she helped me build genuine, nervous system level resilience. I learned to trust myself again, navigate triggers with ease, and step into my confidence with an unshakeable sense of inner safety. Elise is a powerful catalyst for lasting empowerment.

I had a wonderful Reiki session with Elise. From the moment she placed her hands near me, I felt an immense warmth and heat radiating from them, unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The sensation was deeply comforting and seemed to flow through my whole body, helping me relax completely. Throughout the session, Elise created a calm, safe, and peaceful atmosphere. By the end, I genuinely felt different: lighter, more balanced, and deeply refreshed. It felt as though tension had been released and my energy had shifted in a positive way. I’m very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Elise to anyone considering Reiki or energy healing.
