E125: The Patterns Behind 7 Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching Cohorts
Episode 123
Thursday, July 23, 2026 • Duration 34:15
After seven cohorts of the Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women Certification, I keep seeing the same patterns show up in brilliant, deeply caring women practitioners, again and again. In this episode of Through a Trauma Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche, and Soul, I share seven patterns I witness cohort after cohort: why women arrive believing they need another technique when what's actually missing is integration, the fear of "getting it wrong" and what it really means, why women underestimate themselves, why confidence comes through embodied practice rather than more reading, and why the deepest transformation in trauma-informed somatic coaching training is rarely just professional.
If you're a coach, yoga teacher, therapist, or wellbeing practitioner who has done the training but still feels something is missing, this episode is for you.
In this episode I cover:
Why most women arrive already trained, and why another technique isn't the missing piece (it's integration)
The fear of "getting it wrong" as a trauma-informed somatic coach, and why it's actually a sign of a caring practitioner
Why women underestimate themselves, and what identity change really requires
Why embodied confidence comes through practice, not through more books or webinars
The deepest transformation that happens in somatic coach training, and it isn't professional
Why community changes everything for women practitioners
Why the women who flourish aren't the most confident starters, they're the ones who stay curious

Why highly sensitive coaches need a different approach to business growth
Nervous system-friendly business and sustainable success
Ethical marketing and selling without pressure

E123: Beyond Techniques: Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching Certification for Women
Episode 123
Thursday, July 16, 2026 • Duration 50:50
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 explore why that happens and what truly creates lasting transformation - not only for our clients, but also for ourselves as practitioners.
Why so many experienced coaches, yoga teachers, therapists and wellbeing practitioners feel fragmented despite years of training
How to develop your own authentic way of working rather than copying someone else's framework
Why safety, ethics, feminine leadership and embodied presence are at the heart of sustainable transformation
E122: When Growth and Visibility Trigger Anxiety or Self-Doubt: A Three-step Trauma-Informed Somatic Approach
Episode 122
Thursday, February 5, 2026 • Duration 23:36
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 bypassing what’s happening.
This practice is especially supportive for women practitioners who are growing, sharing their work, and learning to take up space in a way that feels safe, grounded and sustainable.
I explore:
Why visibility, authority, and growth often activate anxiety and protective responses - Understanding how fear, doubt, and resistance are natural nervous system responses when we step beyond familiar territory.
The importance of foundational nervous system awareness - Why simple practices work best when we understand our conditioning, patterns, and automatic responses.
A trauma-informed three-step somatic process for moments of activation - A practical, repeatable approach to working with anxiety, overwhelm, and contraction as they arise.
Building trust through lived evidence and nervous system memory - How reminding your system of past survival and resilience helps create safety and confidence in the present.

E121: What Consent Really Means in Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching and Teaching
Episode 121
Thursday, January 22, 2026 • Duration 17:09
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 how trauma shapes our capacity to sense and express consent, and how safety is co-created moment by moment between practitioner and client.
This episode is especially for women who work - or feel called to work - as coaches, yoga teachers, facilitators or practitioners, and who want to create safer, more ethical and more embodied spaces for the people they support.
In this episode I talk about:
Consent as a somatic and nervous-system-based experience
The difference between cognitive consent and embodied consent
How trauma can shape our ability to sense and communicate consent
Why safety is relational and co-created, not simply provided
The role of practitioner embodiment, boundaries and nervous-system awareness

E120: Finding Your Rhythm, Regulation and Sustainability in 2026: Trauma-Informed Somatic Growth
Episode 120
Friday, January 9, 2026 • Duration 28:10
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 cannot - in our lives and businesses. This is key to experiencing more peace and joy, and success in 2026.
In this episode we explore:
What is within your control - and what isn’t
How to bring together how you want to feel with what you want your life and business to look like
Why reverse-engineering your year through seasonal and quarterly planning supports nervous system regulation
How to find, trust, and honour your own rhythm - even when the world is urging you to move faster
Why rhythm, consistency, and sustainability are foundational to trauma-informed work
This episode is especially supportive for coaches, practitioners, teachers, and space-holders who want to show up in 2026 with integrity, presence, and care - for themselves and for others.
E119: The Power of Community - A Trauma-Informed Somatic Reflection on Healing, Belonging, and Sustainable Leadership for Women
Episode 119
Thursday, December 18, 2025 • Duration 20:30
This is the last episode for 2025 of my show Through a Trauma-informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul. As we come to the end of 2025, many of us are feeling tired, overwhelmed and ready to slow down. In this episode, I reflect on the power of community and why safe, grounded, trauma-informed spaces matter so deeply for women’s healing, leadership and sustainable work.
This is a no-nonsense, honest conversation about real community - not one based on 'love-and-light' or toxic positivity, but spaces where all of you is welcome.
In this episode I explore:
Why community is essential for nervous-system regulation, healing and belonging
The impact of feeling like an outsider - and the healing power of being fully accepted
What makes a trauma-informed women’s community truly safe (beyond “positivity only spaces”)
How community supports ethical business, self-leadership and sustainable giving
The role of gratitude, lived experience and authentic connection in meaningful change
I also invite you to take time to do a gentle somatic gratitude practice to support reflection and integration as we move into winter and holiday period.
I wish you a restful and joyful holiday break. And I look forward to connecting with you in 2026. .........

E118: A Feminine Approach to Year-End Business Planning: Review, Reconnect & Refocus (3-Step Somatic Process)
Episode 118
Thursday, December 4, 2025 • Duration 29:04
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, and override the signals that our bodies have been attuned to for thousands of years.
In this episode I explore:
why you might feel tired, overwhelmed, or depleted right now
how your body is responding to the natural seasonal rhythm (even if life doesn’t allow you to slow down fully)
the gentle power of realigning with winter’s invitation to rest, reflect, and soften
why disappearing completely from your business in December creates more dysregulation later - and what to do instead
a simple three-step process for reflecting on your year, reconnecting with your deeper mission, and refocusing on your embodied path for 2026
what it truly means to build a business that honours your life, your nervous system and your feminine leadership
I also share personal stories - from burnout, illness, and lessons learned the hard way - about what happens when we override the body’s signals, and how coming back to nature’s rhythm changed everything in how I lead, plan, and run my business today.
If you want guided support with your reflection and planning, you’ll find a link to a free resource in the show notes, as well as details about my Yearly & Quarterly Seasonal Planning Retreat, where we go much deeper into reviewing, reconnecting and refocusing - somatically, relationally and in full alignment with your values.
Wherever you are today, I hope this episode invites you into more rest, more spaciousness, and more trust in your body’s innate wisdom.
E117: Stop Trying Harder and Doing More: The Somatic Shift Every Practitioner Needs
Episode 117
Thursday, November 20, 2025 • Duration 19:33
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. As we move toward the Christmas period and the end of the year, I reflect on the collective fatigue, the pressure to catch up before the holiday break, and the inner conflict that arises when we’re teaching nervous-system care to our clients while struggling to honour it ourselves.
This episode is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and return to your natural rhythm. I explore why “trying harder” is never the answer when we’re overwhelmed, how our conditioning pulls us into fixing and striving, and why we must honour our cyclical nature if we want sustainable growth - in our lives, our healing, and our businesses.
I encourage you to notice where you may have disconnected from your needs and I invite you back into spaciousness, compassion, and alignment with your inner pace. Like tending a young plant, true transformation requires nourishment, patience, and the right environment - not more force.
In this episode I explore:
The exhaustion of trying harder - how conscientious practitioners fall into over-efforting in healing, business, and life.
The end-of-year and Christmas pressure cycle - why November/December amplifies fatigue, comparison, and the sense of being “behind.”
Fixing vs. tendingto - recognising when you’ve slipped into unconscious striving and how to return to a gentler, embodied way of being.
Honouring your inner rhythm - understanding cycles of work, rest, reflection, and integration through a trauma-informed somatic lens.
Creating sustainable growth - tending to yourself like a living ecosystem and building your life and business in alignment with your values, nervous system and timing.

E116: Three Types of Habits for Success: Wellness, Life and Business
Episode 116
Thursday, November 6, 2025 • Duration 26:13
In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul, I talk about how daily habits shape every aspect of our health, relationships, and work. Drawing on my unique framework the Integrated Soma–Psyche–Soul Coaching Method®, I share my perspective on what truly supports sustainable success and wellbeing.
As the year draws to a close, this conversation is my gentle invitation for you to pause and reflect - to look at the habits that strengthen or deplete your energy, focus, and alignment. Rather than focusing on willpower or quick fixes, I ask you to reconnect with the nervous-system-friendly foundations that allow real, embodied change.
In this episode I share:
The three foundational types of habits - wellness, life, and business
Why self-care and nervous system regulation are non-negotiable
How daily patterns influence health, energy, and relationships
The importance of sustainable rhythms over instant results
How aligned habits nurture confidence, purpose, and ease
When wellness, life, and business habits are in harmony, they create a deep sense of inner power and self-trust - allowing practitioners to show up fully for their clients, communities, and themselves.
