But behind the bright exterior were self-doubt, shame, wild emotional swings, constant anxiety, and a relentless impulse to please. It took countless wrong turns before I finally confronted the fact that I had experienced trauma, and that my nervous system was in serious need of healing. Trauma isn’t just from Big Things -it can result from common lifetime events like a break up, illness, and disappointing or humiliating experiences.
I spent much of my life in the “Trauma? That Doesn’t Apply to Me” club.
I always assumed trauma was a concept reserved for soldiers or survivors of unthinkable violence—certainly not for someone like me, who had a loving family, a solid job, a quick smile, and a witty sense of humor.
Show me how!
I've been there too. But there's a better way.

A Peek at My Services
For individuals dealing with the lingering aftermath of trauma or intense emotional upheaval, Recovery & Emotional Regulation Coaching offers a gentle yet structured path forward. We’ll begin by mapping out how your thoughts and emotions interact, pinpointing patterns that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Through somatic awareness, grounding techniques, and mindset shifts, you’ll gradually learn to calm your nervous system and develop more adaptive responses to stress. Rather than reliving painful events, we focus on what helps and heals in real-time. You’ll practice tangible exercises that cultivate self-compassion, emotional balance, and renewed hope. As you master regulating your feelings in various situations, your sense of control and confidence will rise. With consistent support and celebration of every step, you’ll discover lasting resilience beyond the shadows of your past.

We also address unhelpful thought patterns, reframing them into more constructive, empowering beliefs. As you integrate these tools, you’ll likely see improved productivity, better sleep, and a more balanced approach to daily challenges. Over time, your resilience will grow, making it easier to bounce back from setbacks. With a sustainable routine in place, you’ll feel more energized, centered, and ready to tackle life’s demands head-on.

By confronting any self-doubt or limiting beliefs, you’ll quickly learn to replace negative thought loops with affirming ones that move you forward. As progress builds, so does your confidence, allowing you to make choices in harmony with your true desires.

We’ll dive into techniques such as active listening, boundary-setting, and conflict resolution so you can foster genuine trust and respect.

Over time, you’ll see communication become smoother and more authentic, resulting in a stronger, more fulfilling bond. Whether you’re struggling with recurring disagreements or simply want to deepen your connection, this coaching offers fresh insights and actionable tools. If you’re ready to see real change and renewed intimacy, let’s get started.
Trinidi Soulard, Business Owner
I cannot recommend Ronda highly enough. She has helped me develop coping mechanisms, process difficult emotions, and rebuild my sense of self. Ronda's genuine compassion and empathy are evident in every session. I am truly grateful for her support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking help with trauma.
Ronda’s guidance and techniques have been instrumental in my healing journey.
lyndsey Simmons, Full-time mom
I never dreamed I’d be seeing a coach – it sounded strange to be coached in “life.” But I also never dreamed I could get out from under the weight I have carried for so long. Ronda is so kind, wise, compassionate and genuine, a real person. She has helped me more than I can ever convey.
I wish everyone had a coach like her – the world would be a better, more hopeful place.
Rachel Milligan, Customer service manager
I still have days that are overwhelming but since she educated me about why this was happening and what I could do about it, I am so much more in control of my own life, and emotions.
Before I started working with Ronda, I was stressed to the max every day, and I mean every day.

You Have Questions. I've Got Answers.
Coaching begins with discovering how we fit during our initial complementary meeting. After that, the focus of our sessions will be guided by you and whatever is present for you that day. Our sessions may include combinations of conversation, meditation, mindfulness strategies, breathwork, values and beliefs exercises, identifying growth outcomes, coping strategies, and the ever important but often overlooked psychoeducation, where you will learn why, physiologically, you are feeling like you are.
No! Anyone who needs to develop coping skills, reduce stress, address guilt and shame, manage physical symptoms from a wrecked nervous system, or find meaning and purpose in their lives will benefit. Literally any adult person who knows there must be a better way can benefit from coaching.
The increased ability to tolerate distress, greater relaxation ability, a cut through the mental noise, better emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness (communication, setting boundaries), self-compassion, self-care, and resilience when the tough times come, as they will for us all.
While I am trained, experienced and deeply invested in considering the impact of trauma it is important to note that I am not a therapist. I do not diagnose, label or treat mental health conditions. Good coaching is centered on a salutogenic approach – focusing on health, well-being and assets as opposed to the pathogenic, or disease-centered, approach. Also, coaching is anchored in the present, not the past, and is client-led with coach and client on an equal peer-to-peer level.
You don’t have to navigate this alone - I am committed to helping you create real, lasting change. Please send me a little note and I’ll get back to you soon!
