Online CPTSD Trauma Coach

Stop Surviving,
Start Living

For people who are done with being triggered and living with Fight or Flight.

Rachel offers online trauma coaching for people who are tired of feeling on edge. If you’re reacting in ways you don’t understand, holding everything together while falling apart inside — you’re in the right place. There is a way through this.

Helping You Out of Fight or Flight

Using my Empowered Path Framework we’ll work together to regulate your nervous system, learn how to respond instead of react, and cultivate a better life.

Cultivating Calm

Calm your nervous system using meditation or somatic exercises that work for you. Understanding emotional flashbacks and getting out of your head and back into your body.

Identifying Patterns

Identifying the triggers that keep you in fight or flight, and linking them to events in your past, so that you can overcome the automatic reactions.

Exploring Your Shadow

Linking those events to aspects of yourself that you have suppressed and denied and working with them to feel self acceptance.

Reprogramming

Becoming your own hero, feeling good enough and stepping into your powerful divine self.

Take Back Your Power and Find Your Inner Peace.

Many of my clients experience a condition called CPTSD or Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“Some people go to counselling for years and eventually run out of things to say.”

That’s because CPTSD requires real change to recover. The Empowered Path takes you, step by step, through the process.

01.

Find Your Calm

You’ve been wired to feel everything since before you can remember. You’re ready to stop reacting and start choosing how you respond.

In order to make this possible, we learn how to regulate your nervous system.

02.

Balance Your Power

Someone took away your power many years ago and it’s time to take it back.

Not by force, but by remembering who you really are and learning how to have strong boundaries.

03.

Reprogram Your Mind

Up until now your reactions are triggering from subconscious programmes installed when you were young. Learn to respond instead of react, pause before deciding what to do and choose the right people to invest your time in.

About me

I can guide you out of fight or flight into a calmer, more purposeful life.

I’m Rachel, a certified coach who spent decades experiencing complex trauma (CPTSD) and OCD. I was triggered all the time, dropping into Fight, Flight, Fawn or Freeze at the most inopportune moments. Worse still, in my forties, I developed several chronic illnesses… I felt like there was no way out.

Once I decoded a path for trauma recovery it felt natural to share it. So I retrained as a coach, and I’ve been helping other women like me ever since.

“No one should have to live in a state of hypervigilence, anxiety and fear. There is a way out.”

What My Clients are Saying

Rachel was a great help to me. I'd been feeling out of sorts for some time. I'd been following her on social media & 'Got' how she talked. So I made contact & started sessions with her. Rachel helped me to to understand what I was going through. She set me in the right direction to learn to understand myself better.

Suzanne

Firstly and importantly for me, it was really easy to open up and talk to Rachel. She just feels like one of those people that you’ve known your whole life. I never felt judged. I knew there was something wrong in my life but I couldn’t work out what it was. Rachel just talked to me like a good friend and guided me through areas and aspects of my life and thoughts. This led me to think deeply about them and in time led me to making some choices which have truly uplifted my life. I now feel happier than I have done in years and I’m walking down a new and interesting path. I feel like I’ve discovered a new me and a new future. Thank you Rachel for setting me free again.

Avril

Rachel has been such a blessing in my life. She’s helped me gently work through trauma, calm my fight-or-flight responses, and see where I can grow and improve. Her support is full of kindness and wisdom, and I’m truly grateful for the way she continues to guide me in my healing journey.

Barbora

I really want to give a big shout out to Rachel, as she has certainly helped me unravel why I feel the way I do, why I get triggered, and why I experience certain emotions more strongly than others. She has basically “held my hand” and guided me out of the labyrinth I kept getting lost in. Working on yourself is an ongoing process, but I feel like I’ve come so much further in understanding myself with Rachel by my side. Thank you, Rachel.
