Our Story
About My Trauma Recovery Coach
Providing easy access to affordable recovery services for all those suffering from trauma, toxic stress, and burnout.
From surviving to thriving after trauma.
At My Trauma Recovery Coach, our mission is to provide easy access to affordable recovery services for all those suffering from trauma, toxic stress, and burnout. Our focus is to help individuals move from merely surviving to thriving after traumatic and stressful events.
We believe healing is not about reliving the past, but about building health, safety, and meaning in the present. Using evidence-based trauma-informed coaching and a holistic, salutogenic approach, we guide clients in developing the tools, self-awareness, and confidence needed to recover, reconnect, and rebuild their lives.
"Trauma may be something you've experienced, but it does not define who you are. You can recover and rise above trauma with the right support and effective coaching."— Kimberly Elias, Founder
The Salutogenic Framework
Our work is grounded in the salutogenic approach — a framework that focuses on what creates health, not what causes illness or keeps you stuck. Through this approach, coaching becomes more than symptom management — it becomes a process of growth, empowerment, and renewed self-trust.
Comprehensibility
Helping you make sense of your experiences and understand your body's natural stress responses.
Manageability
Building practical tools and inner resources to handle life's challenges with calm and confidence.
Meaningfulness
Reconnecting with your values, purpose, and the belief that your life is worth engaging in fully.
What we work on together.
- Mastering self-regulation tools and techniques
- Capacity building
- Meeting primary, social, and emotional needs
- Increasing ability to trust, communicate, and set boundaries
- Creating long-term positive expectations and hope for the future
- Strengthening interpersonal resources and resilience
- Developing healthy routine and habits to support overall wellbeing
Three programs designed to meet you where you are.
All programs emphasize safety, self-compassion, and empowerment. Coaching sessions are gentle, structured, and strengths-based.
