Heal Your Nervous System, Tend to Your Emotions With Compassion and Reclaim Your Authentic Self

I Wonder….

Does This Sound Like You? 

  • You feel like something is “wrong” with you or that you’re broken

  • You may seem to have it all together on the outside but feel empty, hopeless, or discontent on the inside

  • You’ve been struggling through trauma, loss, financial hardship, loneliness, divorce or any kind of major life adversity

  • You frequently experience emotional dysregulation – your negative emotions feel intense, out of control, or overwhelming

  • You struggle with anxiety, depression, dissociation, or panic attacks

  • You are experiencing chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or any other chronic illness

  • You have difficulty setting and holding boundaries, often neglecting your own needs to please others

  • You are stuck in survival mode but don’t know how to move forward in your healing journey

You don't have to figure this all out by yourself or walk this healing journey alone.

I am here to support you every step of the way.

As your coach, I’ll be there to compassionately help you:

  • Become more aware of your learned patterns of reactivity

  • Actively work to take care of yourself in the ways that you need most

  • Acknowledge the agency that you have over your decisions and behaviour

  • Discover the inner world of your emotions and allow yourself to feel

  • Gain new insight and depths into yourself as a unique human being

  • Listen to your intuition and develop your sense of self-trust

  • Foster a deeper, more meaningful and authentic relationship with yourself and others

  • Live in alignment with your values and moral compass

  • Show up in your life as more confident, engaged, embodied and fulfilled

  • Understand the roots of and reduce your feelings of stress, burnout, anxiety and low mood

  • Manage the unhelpful thought patterns that are holding you back from living a peaceful, grounded, awakened life

The Logistics of Working Together: 

  • My coaching sessions are 60-minute private, virtual video calls hosted on Zoom (or via Telehealth if preferred).

  • Sessions are booked on your schedule at a pace that works for you. Many clients choose to book calls each week, every other week, or monthly, depending on their needs.

  • Sessions can be recorded and sent to you so you can review them if you desire, as well as a copy of any relevant self-reflection worksheets or guided meditations to support you.

  • Each session is $170 AUD, however, concession fees are available for those who are experiencing financial hardship. NDIS funding is accepted.

Who is coaching a good fit for?

Trauma-informed coaching is a great fit for anyone who has been through painful past circumstances, such as abusive relationships, divorce, difficult childhoods and other adversities.

Many of my clients struggle with shame, perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, and other mindset issues generated from negative past experiences or the way they’ve adapted to them over time.

Some of the areas I love to support my clients on are:

  • Rejecting shame and moving towards greater self-love, compassion, and acceptance.

  • Creating healthy boundaries and no longer people pleasing.

  • Moving forward from difficult relationships or breakups.

  • Self-discovery – uncovering what you really love, value, and derive joy from.

  • Career transitions and expansions.

  • Learning to trust yourself and live a life that works for you.

  • Understanding your nervous system and feeling safer within your body.

  • A whole lot more!

 FAQs

  • No, coaching is different from therapy in that a coach cannot diagnose or treat mental illnesses.

    While therapy is incredibly useful for processing past trauma, coaching is focused on the present moment and future.

    Trauma-informed coaching uses information from trauma psychology to inform the process of setting goals and moving forward towards the future but does not set out to directly process or resolve the trauma.

    Coaching views the client as already whole and capable of achieving their goals, with nothing fundamentally wrong with them.

    Coaches empower their clients to activate their own potential that is already within them but may not be able to be accessed without the support and care that a coach can provide.

    If you are not at a place where you’re generally able to function day-to-day, or have been depressed for a long time and are feeling hopeless, therapy is a better fit for you.

    If you are generally stable but struggling to meet your goals, have the relationships you desire, or feel really good about your life, coaching could be the container that helps you get to where you want to be.

  • The cost for individual 1:1 sessions is $170 AUD for a 60-min Zoom or phone consultation.

    NDIS funding is accepted.

  • Unfortunately, life coaches cannot currently offer medicare rebate sessions. However, the cost of coaching tends to reflect the typical gap fee for a Medicare-funded psychology session.

  • I usually work with people who are tired of the ways trauma or chronic stress is continually showing up in their lives and relationships.

    Many of my clients struggle with shame, perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, and other mindset issues generated from negative past experiences or the way they’ve adapted to them over time.

    In our work together, I support my clients to better understand why these issues may be showing up for them from a trauma-informed lens.

    From there, we co-create solutions and strategies for moving forward toward the client’s ultimate goal or intention they have for themselves.

  • Yes. Online coaching really is as effective as an in-person session. In some cases, it’s actually a better model for coaching. It’s time-efficient and very personal. However, if you’re still in doubt, give it a try and you might be surprised.

  • Sessions are booked on your schedule at a pace that works for you. Many clients choose to book calls each week, every other week, or monthly, depending on their needs.

  • Authentic, compassionate, empathetic and built on a foundation of genuine connection and presence. Meg’s client-centred approach is warm, nurturing and non-judgemental. She focuses on fostering your own sense of autonomy, agency and capability as a self-healer.

  • You will receive a video recording of each Zoom session so that you can re-watch and take notes, in addition to receiving access to Meg’s bonus resources between sessions. You are also welcome to email Meg between your sessions to receive support, ask questions or share what you have been working on to help keep you on track.

  • Not necessarily. It’s important to note that integrating meditation and mindfulness into coaching allows you to restore your nervous system and foster a sense of safety and security within your body as a foundation for healing. While Meg generally tends to incorporate these elements into her coaching sessions, she won’t expect you to apply them to your own daily life if they don’t feel right for you.

  • Yes, Meg is available for limited weekend sessions on Sundays.
