LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Rachael Leigh Johnson

In my journey as a Certified Trauma Informed Coach, Hypnotherapist and 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.

Growing up with constant change and uncertainty was normal, where adapting wasn’t a choice, it was a necessity. Anxiety and fear where familiar companions in childhood, continuing into adulthood, joined by depression, panic attacks, overwhelm, and crippling self-doubt. Along the way, I’ve also witnessed first-hand the destructive effects unhealed stress and trauma can wreak on the mind and body, robbing people of their potential and the opportunities life has to offer.

Through my own personal healing journey, I now realise the impact of unhealed trauma, both on your nervous system and quality of life. I have learnt those unwanted habits and behaviours are there to protect you, shielding you from your deeper wounds, with a loving intention to keep you safe. For me, recognising and understanding my trauma, forming those hidden wounds, really was the portal for change.

I know the impact this work has, the power it holds, to put you in the driving seat of your reactions and responses, to feel safe and calm and to flourish.  My mission is to spread this knowledge, creating safer, more compassionate workplaces and educational settings. Sharing this awareness will, without doubt, empower individuals, organisations and communities to 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 sessions. With my passion, drive and extensive knowledge, I can help you prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of your organisation, your team and yourself.
