    E128: Late Autism Diagnosis, Perimenopause and Finding Yourself Beneath the Masks with Jade Treen

    In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m joined by Jade Treen - a somatic coach working online with late diagnosed neurodivergent women in perimenopause. and graduate of our 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® Certification. I speak with certification graduate Jade Treen about the relief and grief of receiving an autism diagnosis at 48, her journey from the corporate world into somatic coaching, and how the training transformed her both personally and professionally. Jade shares how she went from being a lifelong people-pleaser to becoming a woman with “boundaries of steel,” why “no is a complete sentence,” and how she now supports late-diagnosed neurodivergent women through perimenopause, burnout and the process of rediscovering who they are beneath their masks. We also explore nervous-system safety, inner-parts work, embodied authenticity and the importance of integrating body and mind when supporting women through profound transitions.

    E127: From Teaching to Embodied Listening: Finding the Missing Piece with Katie Wardle

    In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m joined by Katie Wardle - a somatic coach, yoga teacher, founder of Wild Sage Retreat and graduate of our 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® Certification. Katie shares how somatic coaching became the missing piece connecting her work as an NHS service improvement manager with her experience of supporting women through yoga and wellness. We explore her journey from directive teaching to embodied listening, learning to hold space without imposing her own narrative, giving clients greater autonomy and bringing nervous-system awareness into yoga, coaching and the workplace. Katie also reflects on the depth of the certification, the importance of practice and community, and how the training supported her to run women’s retreats and steadily build her somatic coaching practice.

    E126: From Knowing to Embodying: Becoming a Self-Approved Woman with Hannah Tugwell

    In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I’m joined by Hannah Tugwell - a self-love coach for women, somatic coach and graduate of our 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women Certification. Hannah is a (soon-to-be) accredited Trauma-Informed Somatics Coach and self-love activist. She works with women who are ready to stop waiting for outside validation and fully own their talents, skills and experience - so they can see these reflected back to them in their lives, businesses and body confidence. Through The Self-Approved Woman™ process, Hannah guides women to release outdated ways of being and give themselves permission to live life boldly, expansively and unapologetically as themselves. In this conversation, Hannah shares how the training helped her move from intellectually understanding embodiment to actually living it. We explore nervous-system awareness, creating safety within coaching relationships and learning to “lean back” so clients can step into their own power. We also speak about courage, fear and becoming The Self-Approved Woman™ - a woman who trusts her inner knowing, owns her gifts and no longer waits for external approval before pursuing what matters to her.

    E125: The Patterns Behind 7 Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching Cohorts

    After seven cohorts of the Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women Certification, I keep seeing the same patterns show up in brilliant, deeply caring women practitioners, again and again. In this episode of Through a Trauma Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche, and Soul, I share seven patterns I witness cohort after cohort: why women arrive believing they need another technique when what's actually missing is integration, the fear of "getting it wrong" and what it really means, why women underestimate themselves, why confidence comes through embodied practice rather than more reading, and why the deepest transformation in trauma-informed somatic coaching training is rarely just professional. If you're a coach, yoga teacher, therapist, or wellbeing practitioner who has done the training but still feels something is missing, this episode is for you. In this episode I cover: Why most women arrive already trained, and why another technique isn't the missing piece (it's integration)The fear of "getting it wrong" as a trauma-informed somatic coach, and why it's actually a sign of a caring practitionerWhy women underestimate themselves, and what identity change really requiresWhy embodied confidence comes through practice, not through more books or webinarsThe deepest transformation that happens in somatic coach training, and it isn't professionalWhy community changes everything for women practitionersWhy the women who flourish aren't the most confident starters, they're the ones who stay curious Our Autumn 2026 cohort, Circle #8, starts in October.

Many highly sensitive, heart-led practitioners struggle with conventional business advice that encourages constant hustle, visibility and pushing beyond your limits.

In this episode, we explore: Why highly sensitive coaches need a different approach to business growthNervous system-friendly business and sustainable successEthical marketing and selling without pressureHow to use AI without losing your authentic voiceBuilding simple systems that reduce overwhelmCreating a business that supports both your wellbeing and your purpose About Laura Agar Laura Agar is a business mentor, coach and course creator who has helped hundreds of heart-centred and highly sensitive health and life coaches attract more clients, grow sustainable businesses and create more freedom in their lives.

    E123: Beyond Techniques: Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching Certification for Women

    Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach Certification: What Makes This Training Different? If you've been searching for a trauma-informed somatic coach certification, you've probably noticed there are hundreds of coaching, trauma and somatic trainings available today. Yet many experienced practitioners still tell me the same thing:"I know so much... but something still feels missing." In this episode, I explore why that happens and what truly creates lasting transformation - not only for our clients, but also for ourselves as practitioners. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in social care, trauma-informed practice, yoga, somatic movement, coaching and women's leadership, I share the philosophy behind our Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women© Certification and explain why integration matters more than collecting another set of techniques. In this conversation we explore: ​What trauma-informed practice really means (and what it doesn't)​Why understanding the nervous system changes the way we coach and teach​What somatic coaching actually is beyond the latest wellness buzzword​Why presence is often more important than technique​The difference between trying to fix people and creating the conditions where healing can naturally emerge​The Integrated Soma • Psyche • Soul Coaching Method© and how it brings together body, mind, emotions, nervous system, meaning and embodied wisdom​Why so many experienced coaches, yoga teachers, therapists and wellbeing practitioners feel fragmented despite years of training​How to develop your own authentic way of working rather than copying someone else's framework​Why safety, ethics, feminine leadership and embodied presence are at the heart of sustainable transformation This episode is especially for you if you're a coach, yoga teacher, therapist, bodyworker, women's circle facilitator or wellbeing practitioner who feels called to support women in a deeper, more integrated and trauma-informed way. If you've been looking for a training that combines somatic coaching, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed practice, embodiment, feminine leadership and ethical coaching into one coherent approach, I hope this conversation offers clarity and inspiration.

    E122: When Growth and Visibility Trigger Anxiety or Self-Doubt: A Three-step Trauma-Informed Somatic Approach

    In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul, I explore why anxiety, fear and resistance so often arise when we step into greater visibility and authority. I share a simple, trauma-informed three-step somatic process that supports you to meet moments of contraction, overwhelm or self-doubt with awareness, kindness, and nervous system wisdom - rather than pushing or bypassing what’s happening. This practice is especially supportive for women practitioners who are growing, sharing their work, and learning to take up space in a way that feels safe, grounded and sustainable. I explore: Why visibility, authority, and growth often activate anxiety and protective responses - Understanding how fear, doubt, and resistance are natural nervous system responses when we step beyond familiar territory. The importance of foundational nervous system awareness - Why simple practices work best when we understand our conditioning, patterns, and automatic responses. A trauma-informed three-step somatic process for moments of activation - A practical, repeatable approach to working with anxiety, overwhelm, and contraction as they arise. Building trust through lived evidence and nervous system memory - How reminding your system of past survival and resilience helps create safety and confidence in the present.

    E121: What Consent Really Means in Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching and Teaching

    In this episode of my show Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I explore consent as a lived, embodied and nervous-system-based experience - not just something we agree to only at the level of the mind. I share why consent is foundational in trauma-informed somatic coaching and teaching, and why it is an ongoing, relational practice rather than a one-off agreement. We look at how trauma shapes our capacity to sense and express consent, and how safety is co-created moment by moment between practitioner and client. This episode is especially for women who work - or feel called to work - as coaches, yoga teachers, facilitators or practitioners, and who want to create safer, more ethical and more embodied spaces for the people they support. In this episode I talk about:  Consent as a somatic and nervous-system-based experience The difference between cognitive consent and embodied consent How trauma can shape our ability to sense and communicate consent Why safety is relational and co-created, not simply provided The role of practitioner embodiment, boundaries and nervous-system awareness If this resonates, you’re warmly welcome to join my experiential workshop Honouring Consent in the Body, or explore the 160-hour Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women® Certification. ......... 🌕 January Experiential Workshop:Honouring Consent in the Body - Co-creating safe spaces with your clients in Trauma-informed Somatic Coaching + Teaching   👉 ⁠https://aneta-idczak.kit.com/workshop-honouring-consent-in-the-body ......... 🌿 Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women Training Certification - Spring Cohort starting April 2026 If you're ready to hold space for others in a way that’s ethical, embodied and trauma-aware:  👉 https://anetaidczak.com/trauma-informed-somatic-teacher-coach-for-women  .........
