My Story

Hello and welcome.  My name is Trudy and I am a narcissistic abuse survivor, Accredited Narcissistic Trauma Informed Coach™ and Brainspotting Practitioner.  My mission is to help women reclaim their power, reject shame, and turn their pain into purpose.​

​

After splitting with my husband of 19 years, I suddenly found myself alone for the first time since I was a teenager.  I was terribly naive and had been protected during my marriage.  I had no boundaries, took everyone at face value and was far too trusting.    

​

After many years of narcissistic abuse from romantic partners, having experienced financial, verbal, and emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation, coupled with my people-pleasing and codependency, I truly understand how you are feeling right now.  I totally understand the trauma that this can cause to both mind and body. Trauma that literally gets stuck in your brain and body.

​

Through deep trauma healing integrated with brain, mind and body based therapy and coaching, I found that I was capable of unlocking the stored trauma that my body was holding on to and keeping me stuck, and was finally able to move my life forward.

​

I am now sharing my healing as a trauma informed coach to help women heal from this insidious form of abuse, so that you too can go on to live the life that I know you truly deserve.
