ADVANCED TRAUMA-INFORMED COACHING
Learn to Facilitate Deeper, Sustainable Transformations Within Your Clients in a Psychologically Safe Way
Does any of this sound Familiar?
- You have a huge heart and want the best for your clients, but you feel stuck figuring out what to do when they keep getting stuck with the same problems
- You’re tired of using old-school, coaching methods that work only with mindset, and want to incorporate somatic and other research based, trauma-informed ways of working with clients
- You want to access and feel deep safety in your own body when things get challenging with your clients or in your business
You’re exactly where you need to be.
- The SafeSpace
Advanced Trauma-Informed Coaching is intentionally divided into two parts to maximize your experience and the effectiveness of the learning and implementation. - The first part is designed to be a comprehensive analysis around your own edges and emotional wounding so that you can have a deeper awareness of yourself and how you relate to your clients.
The second part is where you’ll have supervised learning on how to embody and practice the tools, methodologies, and techniques you learn in the program.

Hear From Our Students
I took this program after I started to realize that my clients weren’t reaching sustainable transformations as a result of their trauma. This program has given me the tools that I need to hold my clients in a safe space where they can acknowledge and heal. Melissa and her team do a wonderful job of modeling what it’s like for a coach to hold safe space and compassion. I highly recommend it to all nutritional therapists and coaches.
Mandy HarveyHolistic Nutritional Practitioner 
As a coach who has been through my own trauma within this industry, it was so important to me as I’m going out into the world to do this work that I’m actually leaving my clients better than when they met me. I am so grateful to have these tools and really embody somatic healing. If you’re on the fence about this program, I highly highly suggest it. If you feel called you should take the leap, you will not be disappointed.
Autumn BensetteTrauma-Informed Leadership Coach 
Joining this program has been an amazing investment for my business and myself. I joined because I was looking for a way to make sure I was being ethical in holding space for my acupuncture patients and coaching clients. So not only am I getting practical ways to be with my patients and clients but I’m also learning on a deeper level how to be with myself in a loving and compassionate way so I can show up more powerfully. I’ve done years of inner work but this program is still allowing for me to go even deeper with an unbelievable support system in Melissa and the other women in the program. I highly recommend taking this program!

Got Questions? We Have Answers
Besides our private Facebook group, you will get 2 LIVE calls per month over the next 12 months (starting date of purchase).
You can expect the calls for the next 12 months to be:
– 4pm PT on the 3rd Wednesday of each month
– 11am PT on the 1st Wednesday each month (except for Holiday’s).
You will have a chance to process anything that comes up personally as you go through this work and any Q&A that you have.
The program starts as soon as you are enrolled and goes at your own pace for content and you receive the two live calls each month.
If you begin the program and you decide, for whatever reason, that it’s not the program for you, you can request a refund up to the 14th day after enrolling OR when you have reached lesson 3, whichever comes first. Refund requests will all be considered on a case by case basis.
Although this program is self-paced, we suggest you spend between 1 to 3 hours each week for your reading, homework, and training time. Remember, you’re unraveling decades’ worth of unprocessed emotions inside this container. This is not a process you want to rush.
Yes, of course! The Advanced Trauma-Informed Coaching Program is great whether you’re a business leader, doctor, teacher, or other professional interacting with humans on a daily basis. Deep emotional wounding shows up everywhere around us, regardless of job title.
This program will allow you to become trauma-informed and understand and embody your scope of practice. You will learn where your work begins and ends with clients and when you need to call in further professional help for your client in a safe way. This is not a program to teach you how to be a mental health professional or a coach, although you will gain coaching and leadership skills.
We’ve officially rolled out the SafeSpace™ program discount up to $500 off and extended payment plans. If you’re an educator, health care/mental health provider, first-responder, or have a financial need, please send us an email at info@safetraumahealing.com to discuss your unique options.

If you’re already ready, go ahead and join on the buttons provided in this form.
No, this is not a coaching certification. This is an advanced trauma-informed training. Melissa uses her 15+ years of experience as a Licensed Psychotherapist to teach this program drawn from her experience and education through the California Institute of Integral Studies. This is an essential training for anybody that is working with humans in an intimate way.
