What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
Therapy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and processing past trauma, mental health conditions, and emotional wounds. It often explores childhood, attachment, and long-standing patterns through a clinical lens.
Trauma-informed coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused. It prioritizes nervous system regulation, building emotional resilience, and helping you move toward your goals with clarity and confidence. Instead of analyzing the past, we work with what is happening in your body and mind right now.
Both approaches are powerful.
Therapy helps you understand where patterns began.
Coaching helps you change how they continue.Many clients choose coaching when they want structured tools, faster shifts, and a holistic blend of somatic exercises, breathwork, EFT tapping, sound healing, and cognitive reframing.

What is the difference between life coaching and trauma coaching?
Life coaching focuses on your goals, plans, and future direction. It helps you build confidence, stay accountable, and take action toward what you want next.
Trauma-informed coaching looks at how your past experiences and nervous system patterns shape your reactions today. It supports emotional regulation, healing triggers, and creating safety in the body so progress feels sustainable.
