Trauma recovery coaching can be an effective tool to respond to life-altering events. These are cataclysmic discoveries that change a person’s life in profound ways.

Through a client-led process, guided by your needs and goals, Jo-Anne focuses on the unique and complex situation of trauma survivors. As a trauma recovery coach, she does not pathologize trauma responses. Instead, she recognizes that you are having normal reactions to abnormal experiences.

Using therapy and somatic modalities, Jo-Anne can assist you in navigating past and present trauma, and will work with you to forge a sense of equilibrium.

Trauma Recovery Coaching and Therapy differ on a foundational level. Coaching does not “process trauma” or spend a great deal of time looking at a client’s past. Coaches are present moment-focused—How can we help our clients in the here and now, as well as help them progress to where they wish to go in their life? Coaches do not prescribe treatment, diagnose or assess mental health issues, provide guidance on medications, nor direct a client’s recovery. Coaching is client-led. Our clients set their goals and their process; we come alongside as peers and resources.
