HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
THE SHIP PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE ME
Anchored in Core Values ⚓️
When my husband and I began restoring our 1940s boat, I was struck by how much the process mirrored my own healing journey.
The careful, patient repair, recognizing my physical limits. Every time I stepped out of my comfort zone, I built self-trust. And every bit of progress—on the boat and in myself—became something to feel proud of. The more I worked on her, the more I grew to love her. Every hour, every bit of care I gave her made me feel more connected.
That’s when the metaphor became more than a reflection—it became the foundation for my coaching practice.
Like restoring a classic ship, healing from emotional, sexual, or relational abuse is a layered process. It asks for compassion, courage, and gentle care. It’s about acknowledging what’s strong, healing what needs tending, and embracing the beauty that’s always been there.
Our boat, the Eslo, is 85 years old and full of character. She’s weathered storms—and it shows. But the wear doesn’t make her any less worthy. It makes her authentic. It makes her remarkable.
And the same is true for you.
Every session and program I offer—including The Inner Circle—is anchored in my SHIP Principles: the core values that support you in navigating home to yourself in safety, with self-respect, and compassion for your life story.
THE SHIP PRINCIPLES:
S – Safety First
Before anything else, we anchor in safety. Healing can’t happen without it. A safe space is where your nervous system can relax and open up to a new state of being.
H – Honor Your Boundaries
Learn to set and honor healthy boundaries—this is an act of self-respect and a declaration of your self-worth.
I – Identify Your Triggers
Identify and understand the triggers that sabotage your healing. With compassion you learn to gently bring yourself back to center.
P – Practice Self-Love
Loving yourself unconditionally takes time and practice—and you’re worth every bit of it.
FAQ
1. Do you work with PTSD or childhood trauma?
Yes. I support clients navigating the effects of PTSD, C-PTSD, and childhood trauma through a trauma-informed, somatic approach focused on safety, nervous system regulation, and supporting trauma recovery.
2. Do you offer therapy?
No, I am not a licensed therapist. I am a certified trauma-informed life coach and certified Root-Cause Therapy practitioner.
I support you through a trauma-informed, somatic approach focused on safety, nervous system regulation, and gently shifting deeper patterns—without needing to relive your past.
While many women experience life-changing benefits from this work, it is not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
3. What if I’ve already done therapy or years of inner work?
Many of my clients have. This work often goes deeper—especially on a somatic level—helping to shift patterns that insight alone hasn’t fully resolved.
4. What is Root-Cause Therapy?
Root-Cause Therapy—RCT—is a gentle, body-aware approach that helps identify and release the original emotional imprint behind current patterns, triggers, or beliefs.
Instead of analyzing or reliving the past, we work with your subconscious mind and nervous system to access what your body has been holding onto—including childhood or generational trauma, and patterns commonly seen in PTSD or C-PTSD.
By resolving the emotional charge at its root, patterns can begin to shift naturally—without force, and without needing to “figure it all out” mentally.
5. How do I know if this is right for me?
The best way is to book a call. We’ll explore what’s important for you and whether this space feels like a good fit for you—no pressure, just a conversation.
6. Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. I offer flexible payment options for most of my programs. If you feel called to this work but need a payment plan, we can find something that works for you.
