In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m joined by Jade Treen - a somatic coach working online with late diagnosed neurodivergent women in perimenopause. and graduate of our 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® Certification.

I speak with certification graduate Jade Treen about the relief and grief of receiving an autism diagnosis at 48, her journey from the corporate world into somatic coaching, and how the training transformed her both personally and professionally.

Jade shares how she went from being a lifelong people-pleaser to becoming a woman with “boundaries of steel,” why “no is a complete sentence,” and how she now supports late-diagnosed neurodivergent women through perimenopause, burnout and the process of rediscovering who they are beneath their masks.

We also explore nervous-system safety, inner-parts work, embodied authenticity and the importance of integrating body and mind when supporting women through profound transitions.

In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m joined by Katie Wardle - a somatic coach, yoga teacher, founder of Wild Sage Retreat and graduate of our 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® Certification.

Katie shares how somatic coaching became the missing piece connecting her work as an NHS service improvement manager with her experience of supporting women through yoga and wellness.

We explore her journey from directive teaching to embodied listening, learning to hold space without imposing her own narrative, giving clients greater autonomy and bringing nervous-system awareness into yoga, coaching and the workplace.

Katie also reflects on the depth of the certification, the importance of practice and community, and how the training supported her to run women’s retreats and steadily build her somatic coaching practice.

In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m joined by Hannah Tugwell - a self-love coach for women, somatic coach and graduate of our 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women Certification.

Hannah is a (soon-to-be) accredited Trauma-Informed Somatics Coach and self-love activist. She works with women who are ready to stop waiting for outside validation and fully own their talents, skills and experience - so they can see these reflected back to them in their lives, businesses and body confidence. Through The Self-Approved Woman™ process, Hannah guides women to release outdated ways of being and give themselves permission to live life boldly, expansively and unapologetically as themselves.

In this conversation, Hannah shares how the training helped her move from intellectually understanding embodiment to actually living it. We explore nervous-system awareness, creating safety within coaching relationships and learning to “lean back” so clients can step into their own power. We also speak about courage, fear and becoming The Self-Approved Woman™ - a woman who trusts her inner knowing, owns her gifts and no longer waits for external approval before pursuing what matters to her.

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

This week on Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I'm joined by business mentor Laura Agar for a thoughtful conversation about growing a coaching business in a way that is sustainable, ethical and aligned with who you are.

Many highly sensitive, heart-led practitioners struggle with conventional business advice that encourages constant hustle, visibility and pushing beyond your limits. In this episode, Laura shares a refreshing alternative - one that honours your nervous system, supports long-term growth and helps you build a business around your life, rather than sacrificing your life for your business.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why highly sensitive coaches need a different approach to business growth
• Nervous system-friendly business and sustainable success
• Ethical marketing and selling without pressure
• How to use AI without losing your authentic voice
• Building simple systems that reduce overwhelm
• Creating a business that supports both your wellbeing and your purpose

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.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in social care, trauma-informed practice, yoga, somatic movement, coaching and women's leadership, I share the philosophy behind our Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women© Certification and explain why integration matters more than collecting another set of techniques.

In this conversation we explore:

• ​What trauma-informed practice really means (and what it doesn't)
• ​Why understanding the nervous system changes the way we coach and teach
• ​What somatic coaching actually is beyond the latest wellness buzzword
• ​Why presence is often more important than technique
• ​The difference between trying to fix people and creating the conditions where healing can naturally emerge
• ​The Integrated Soma • Psyche • Soul Coaching Method© and how it brings together body, mind, emotions, nervous system, meaning and embodied wisdom
• ​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

This episode is especially for you if you're a coach, yoga teacher, therapist, bodyworker, women's circle facilitator or wellbeing practitioner who feels called to support women in a deeper, more integrated and trauma-informed way.

If you've been looking for a training that combines somatic coaching, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed practice, embodiment, feminine leadership and ethical coaching into one coherent approach, I hope this conversation offers clarity and inspiration.

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.

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

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.

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.
