LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Denise Burgess


In my journey as a Board Certified Mental Health Coach, 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.

With personal experience in healing from past traumas, including a recent betrayal in my marriage, I've embarked on a transformative path. Under the mentorship of Caroline Strawson at the School of Positive Psychology, I've embraced the power of trauma-informed coaching firsthand, leading to significant personal growth and empowerment. My dedication extends to aiding both adults and children in their journey toward healing and embracing a more abundant life each day.

My mission is to disseminate this knowledge both domestically and internationally, fostering safer, more compassionate environments where individuals and communities can heal and thrive.

Through my collaboration with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I'm dedicated to merging trauma-informed practices with positive psychology to ensure accessibility for all. As a Certified Trauma Informed Coach, I've completed the rigorous ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching Certification and Qualification. Additionally, I'm an active member of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, a dynamic community of leading trauma-informed professionals worldwide.

This extensive training equips me to facilitate transformative workshops and personalized coaching sessions, prioritizing the mental health and wellbeing of your team, students, or yourself.
