LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Jacqueline M. Akeret

Your Certified Trauma Informed Coach

In my journey as a Certified Trauma Informed Coach / Educator, I've witnessed the profound, life-altering impact that comes from uncovering the hidden wounds of trauma and learning to regulate and understand the nervous system.

“Healing from trauma, especially from experiences like divorce or narcissistic abuse, can be an incredibly challenging yet transformative journey. Personal experiences of growth, resilience, and strength have emerged through the process of reclaiming my life and sense of self. For me, it involved a deep, internal process where the layers of hurt and pain were faced, often with a mixture of feelings that can be overwhelming at times. The recovery from trauma or narcissistic abuse is personal and unique for everyone, but the power of resilience, transformation, and growth is universal. It’s not about "getting back to who I was," but creating a new version of myself that’s become stronger, wiser, and more whole than ever before. I have, ultimately, rewritten the narrative of my life with courage and grace.” My mission is to spread this knowledge creating safer, more compassionate spaces where individuals and communities can heal and thrive.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I'm committed to bringing together trauma informed practices and positive psychology to make it accessible to all. As a Certified Trauma Informed Coach through The Mental Wellbeing Company, I’ve completed the ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching Certification and am part of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, which is the fastest growing community of trauma informed professionals in the world. This high-level certification has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching session’s that prioritize the mental health and wellbeing of your team, your students or yourself.
