Therapy digs into your past, diagnoses mental health conditions like PTSD, and provides clinical treatment. Therapists are licensed mental health professionals.

Coaching gives you practical tools to move forward. I teach emotional healing strategies based on research and lived experience—not clinical treatment. I don't diagnose PTSD or treat mental health conditions. I teach you how to work with your trauma brain, rebuild body confidence, and stop being controlled by emotional overwhelm.

Think of it this way: Therapy helps you understand why. Coaching helps you learn what to do about it.

I can work alongside your therapist, but I'm not a replacement for mental health treatment.

Yes. Medical trauma doesn't have an expiration date. I didn't start healing until 30 years after my first surgery. Whether your surgery was last month or 20 years ago, these tools work. Your brain doesn't care how long ago the trauma happened—it's still protecting you the same way.

Because physical healing and emotional healing are two completely different things.

Your body healed. Your brain is still processing the trauma of what happened. Doctors focus on surgical outcomes—they're not trained to address the emotional aftermath. That's not their fault. But it leaves you dealing with emotional dysregulation and no tools to handle it.

You're not broken. You're traumatised. There's a difference.

If you're struggling emotionally after surgery—feeling like a stranger in your body, exhausted from pretending you're fine, sick of being dismissed and holding yourself back from going for what you truly want—you're ready. This isn't about having it all figured out, we'll work on that together. It is simply getting to the point where you refuse to let your past keep dictating your future and want to feel whole again.

That's like asking how long it takes to learn a language. Everyone's different. But here's what I can tell you: the course is 6 weeks. Group coaching is 12 weeks. Private coaching runs 1-12 months depending on what you need.

Healing isn't linear. Some days you'll feel amazing. Some days you'll feel like you're back at square one. That's normal. What matters is you'll have tools that actually work. Use them and darkness gets lighter. Bad days get fewer. And when they do come, you KNOW you can get through them, rather than being consumed by them. You become proactive rather than reactive to life.
