Your fierce protector,
compassionate advocate,
strategic partner, and energizer.
Chavisa Horemans,

Trauma-Informed Coach
Ready to go from anxious and overwhelmed to understood and supported?
Let me support you so you can breathe, plan, and rise.
I'm a trauma-informed coach, consultant and educator.
I support women experiencing trauma and conflict with spouses, systems and their own bodies.

You're trying to hold it all together, but you're struggling.
You've got a lot going on. You're ready to tackle your to-do list, but you're overwhelmed and scared. You know you need to get on top of things, but you're so tired.
When you're stuck in fight or flight mode, decisions are difficult. Everything feels messy. It feels hard. You're not sure what to do next. And you're trying to hold it all together.
I know you can do this. You just need support. You're stronger than you think — especially with me at your side.
I've got you. I know how to get through this.
What's wrong?
Trauma robs you of your agency to act, and think.
You're not ineffective; you're under resourced.
You need someone who gets this and can help you navigate this now.
You know you need to make changes fast and help your family get to the other side safely.
Ready to go from fight, flight, freeze, or fawn to breathe, plan, and rise?
Sometimes you can't see what you're up against because its too big or too close to home. I know how to help you move through this.
I'm not your lawyer or therapist. I am your Coach.
I support women to make changes that they want in their lives and relationships.
Confidential, responsive, and empowering trauma-informed coaching, personalized to you.
