ANCHORED
Â
The trauma-informed professional certification for heart-centered coaches, healers, and leaders who want to create deep, lasting transformation for their clientsâwhile leading their business with next-level skill, safety, and connection.
Â
The coaching industry is shiftingâcan you feel it?
Â
Weâre in the middle of a collective awakening. People are craving real, embodied leadership. They can sense when something feels âoff,â when a space isnât truly safe, when coaching techniques override their nervous system instead of honoring it.
They donât just want depth and safety. They need it.
And if youâre not trauma-informed in your work, youâre not just missing opportunitiesâyouâre losing trust.
This isnât about adding another certification to your bio.
Itâs about anchoring the kind of leadership that transforms your clients, your business, and your impact on the world.
If youâre a coach, space holder, or service provider, youâre already impacting peopleâs nervous systemsâwhether you realise it or not.
đ Every time you guide a client through resistance or hesitation...
đ Every time you support someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or shut down...
đ Every time you hold space for deep emotions, trauma responses, or breakthroughs...
đ Every time a client intellectually gets it but struggles to embody the shift...
đ Every time you write a sales page and wonder why itâs not converting like it could beâŠ
Your ability to create safety in these moments determines the depth of your impactâand the longevity of your business.
Without a trauma-informed approach, clients feel pressured, disconnected, or subtly pushed past their capacity. They might nod along, but deep down, their nervous system is saying no (and you feel something is âoffâ even if you canât quite name it).
THIS IS WHY GOOD INTENTIONSÂ AREN'TÂ ENOUGH.
â You can have the best strategy, but if your presence doesnât feel safe, people wonât engage deeply.
â You can have powerful coaching techniques, but if they bypass someoneâs nervous system, youâre not creating transformationâyouâre creating shutdown.
â You can mean well, but if your sales & marketing trigger fear or scarcity, people will hesitate to work with you (even if they donât know why).
This is where ANCHORED comes in.
A New Standard for the Coaching & Wellness Industry
Â
ANCHORED isnât just another certification. Itâs a complete rewiring of how you lead, hold space, and support the nervous systemâs of everyone your work touches.
Â
When you embody trauma-informed leadership, you:
â Become an anchor of safety for your clients, so they feel deeply seen, heard, and ready to transform.
â Master the art of co-regulation, so clients feel comfortable taking bigger risks and experiencing deeper breakthroughs.
â Build a business that feels goodâwhere clients return, refer, and invest in your work again and again.
â Market in a way that builds trust instead of triggering pressure or resistance.
â Lead with confidence, knowing you are offering an experience of true integrity, impact, and safety.
Imagine this...
Â
đ„ Youâre on a client call, and instead of pushing through resistance, you attune masterfully to their nervous system. They soften. The breakthrough happens naturally.
đ„ Youâre selling your program, and instead of using urgency that triggers stress, you create an invitation that feels deeply alignedâand people sign up with ease.
đ„ Youâre leading a group session, and instead of worrying if people are engaged, you know how to create a container where every single person feels safe enough to show up fully.
đ„ Youâre scaling your business, and instead of feeling drained or out of alignment, your work fuels you because itâs built on real integrity and capacity.

CLIENTÂ LOVE
Meet Sara, whoâs here to share her powerful experience after completing our Trauma Informed Training. Let's hear her story!
Teo has worked with Claire in both Anchored & The Vibrant Woman Method.
Here's what she has to say about her experience...
I believe that when more and more leaders like you gain the tools and knowledge to lead from a trauma-informed place, we will change the world (and how we work within it).

Becoming trauma-informed is an embodied and experiential learning process.
Â
It is both a deeply personal and professional journey that allows us to cultivate the kind of business that deeply honours those we work with, and that honours ourselves within that process.Â
Â
It offers us the experience of getting to know and repattern our own nervous system so that we can then better understand the nervous system state of others and lead from a place of greater self-connection.
Â
It teaches us how to cultivate deep presence and attunement inside our own minds and bodies so that we can embody that for the world around us.
Â
 And, perhaps most importantly, it opens us up to a new way of doing business that infuses a sense of relationality, connection and empowered choice into the hearts and bodies of those we support.
Â
When we choose to learn the skills and tools to become a trauma-informed coach and entrepreneur we can then begin to operate our business, serve our clients and market ourselves in a way that puts our nervous systems - and humanness - first.
Let's create some impactful change, together.

WHY I'M SO COMMITTED TO BRINGING GREATER AWARENESS TO TRAUMA IN THE BUSINESS SPACE

About 8 years ago I had a monumental shift that forever altered
my life and my business.
I stood in my kitchen holding a steaming cup of tea and I suddenly had the embodied understanding - like a penny dropping down into my solar plexus - that I was suffering from the effects of trauma. At that moment I felt as if, for the first time, I made so much sense. It was a deeply validating and comforting experience because I finally had a lens through which I could understand myself and all of my struggles in a new way. (A way that didnât say âwell, youâre just screwed up and not like anyone elseâ). I remember thinking âof course!â - as if, how could I have not known this for so long. Because once I knew, it was all just so obvious.
Â
This realisation, and the journey I took myself on in its aftermath, completely changed the way I saw myself, my clients, my family, my relationships: everything. It was the catalyst for so much healing and growth and it is the reason why I was able to stop living in so much fear, hiding from the world and myself and start using my voice and gifts to create a new life and successful business.
Â
Whether we realise it or not, trauma and its impacts affect us all.
Â
For so long not only have we had a very limited understanding of what trauma actually is, how it shapes us and how to work with it effectively, but we have also entirely left it out of conversations in business and entrepreneurship.
This is a conversation that needs to happen and one I have been initiating for years, because when we donât have this conversation we create so much harm and we block our evolution, both on individual and societal levels.
Our current society as it stands is distinctly trauma-UN-informed. When it comes to businessâŠit only gets worse.
Many people who are running successful businesses and holding space for hundreds, thousands of people every year have never learned how to actually hold space - how to skillfully and intentionally cultivate attunement and relational safety through an understanding of trauma. Many leaders have little (if any) understanding of the nervous system - which fundamentally means they are lacking a crucial piece of understanding about the human experience (which isnât great when youâre in the business of helping people). Furthermore, many leaders are selling their services, marketing themselves and operating within their businesses in ways that (unintentionally) do harm. Not because they would ever want to do this - but because they donât know what they donât know.
When I looked around at what was on offer for trauma-informed training I saw so many things that were lacking depth or entirely missing. Most trainings felt like footnotes (e.g a one class/ 1 hr workshop as part of a larger coaching course), were short and superficial, didnât include self-connection work, space-holding skills, rich experiential and somatic practices, time to build on learning in a longer-term community container, and completely missed any training on leadership or how to operate and market our businesses through a trauma-informed lens. I thought, âyikesâ. And then I thought âwell babes, youâd better get busyâ. So thatâs what I did.
Iâve created a training that I am truly proud of. Itâs exciting and a little scary and I am here for it all!
Â
The journey to becoming an ANCHORED Trauma-Informed Entrepreneur is a journey that will transform ourselves, our clientâs lives and our businesses.
Â
It matters.
I hope you think so, too.

COURSE WORK
This professionally certified course will give you the authority to stand in integrity as a trauma-informed professional inside your business. It is a signal to others that you have credibility and that you have truly done the work (because, let's face it, there are a lot of people paying lip service to being trauma-informed who lack any real depth or training in this area).
Receiving the certificate is contingent upon completion of the coursework (there are 2 pieces of written coursework per module). There is no deadline by which you must complete the coursework, however you will not receive your certificate until it is submitted. The coursework takes the form of reflective written essays (500 words minimum each) based on a core theme of each module in addition to a workbook (one workbook per module - a series of short-answer/multiple choice questions based on the learning in that module to show engagement and understanding of the material covered).Â
Â
Reflective essays:Â
The written reflective essays are aimed at demonstrating that you have understood and integrated the learning material, and will therefore not be marked according to any grade scheme (% or A, B C etc), but rather ticked off as completed with any relevant feedback given.
Â
Workbooks:
The short-answer/multiple choice workbooks for each module will be marked and must be passed at 70% each in order to show a required level of understanding. The answers to these are easily found within the class material and slides and can be completed as you engage with the live class/recording at the time.Â

 So this is how we flow...
 Â
The pace:Â
It matters to me that the learning experience I offer is depth-oriented and at the same time, easily assimilated. With depth and assimilation in mind, I have curated this learning experience to follow a format that offers space for digestion and space to go deep into these topics.
Â
â Each of the 6 modules is split into between 5-10 short video classes (anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes)
Â
â Each new module will be released every month (this means, if you complete the learning material as it is released, it will take you 5 months to finish the program...Though it may take you up to 12 months and you set the pace!Â
Â
â Every month there will be a LIVE Q+A session with Claire (over Zoom) and the chance to get all of your questions answered
Â
â Every 2 weeks there will be LIVE office-hours where Claire will be available inside the community space (in Slack) to chat to you and offer any guidance or support you need

HI, I'M CLAIRE
Iâm a somatic practitioner, nervous system & trauma expert, transformational & business coach and integrative health specialist with over 15 years experience helping others to restore their aliveness, recover from stress, burnout and exhaustion, and run a breathe-easy, relaxed business that adds to their life rather than taking away from it.Â
Â
I deeply care that we learn how to run our business and show up for our lives from a resourced, connected space; one where we nourish and respect ourselves, honour our boundaries, share our gifts with joy, take up space freely and feel lit up rather than burned out by our beautiful work in the world. This is the only way to run a sustainable, abundant business.Â
Â
It is my mission to bring awareness, education and healing to an area that has for too long been left out of discussions in the business space; the nervous system and trauma.Â
Â
My work is a passionate and soulful fusion of mind-body modalities that blends together science, somatics, spirituality and psychology.
Â
I believe deeply in the inherent wisdom and wholeness of each of us and I trust that our life energy is always seeking to move us in the direction of greater health and vibrancy.
Â
My personal journey towards resolving my own trauma, rewiring my nervous system, updating my identity and finding an authentic connection to myself is what led me to the delicious place I am in now.
Â
I invest heavily in my own growth and development and I am a passionate believer that we must live what we teach.
Â
I truly love what I do and I am so grateful that I get to share my work and gifts with the world!Â
