Meet Angela: Betrayal Trauma Coach for Women
And the creator of Healing Her​ Trauma
​
My Personal Journey Through Betrayal, Trauma, and Healing
My story includes an evolving and rebuilding relationship with my husband of nearly three decades.
Having experienced multiple instances of betrayal discoveries, I know the deep and disorienting pain of betrayal trauma. I also know it's possible to heal and love again.
I’m blessed to be the mom of a beautiful and resilient son on the autism spectrum. I wouldn't know much of what I do about healing if it weren't for our sweet boy. I have also faced postpartum depression, complex PTSD, Lyme disease, had major financial hardships, and lost many people I love deeply along the way. All of this has taught me to stay in touch with my intuition, get to know the real me, and be tender with my needs through it all.
I believe there is more than one path to healing. I believe that you can find the right path for yours, that wholeness is always worth fighting for, and that, with the right support, YOU CAN HEAL TOO!

Three Gaps I Saw in Betrayal Trauma Recovery Programs
After discovering my husband’s betrayal, I spent 4 years working one-on-one with 3 coaches and 4 therapists, learning and healing through different approaches. But I kept noticing gaps in my own experience and in the lives of other women walking through the same fire. So I began expanding my training, diving into courses, certifications, and resources to fill in what was missing.
Here’s what I bring to this space that many programs don’t:
1. Systems Awareness.
We don’t just talk about betrayal here. We examine the beliefs, conditioning, systems, and roles that keep women mired in silence and shame. This is about examining more than one wound. It’s about the whole picture, the whole experience, the whole you.
2. A Mind-Body Approach.
My experience leading peer trainings, working in a functional medicine clinic, and running a private practice where I worked with women to heal their nervous systems, digestion, and adrenal health taught me that betrayal recovery requires a holistic approach to the mind & body.
3. Lived Experience + Science.
I know what soul-crushing betrayal actually feels like and the many needs that come along with it. I also know the science. I bring both the heart and the research into every room because you deserve support that speaks to both your language and your pain.

My Background: Nutrition, Peer Support, & Trauma Coaching
​After completing my nutritional certificate, I spent nine months as a group leader for the Nutritional Therapy Association, supporting students through study sessions and practical assessments. I worked with nearly ninety clients in an integrative clinic before running my in-person, private practice for a year, helping women reconnect with their bodies through good food, healing movement, and supportive supplements.
​
Since then, I have completed trainings in trauma-informed coaching, mindful self-compassion, and I became a peer-group facilitator for betrayed partners.
​
In all my professional work, the vast majority of my clients have been women. It was apparent that they were overworked, overstressed, under-nourished, and under-supported. These experiences have allowed me to meet women where they are, not just in their pain, but in the exhaustion, depletion, and disconnection that betrayal often exposes.
Inclusivity Statement
Your story, your voice, and your lived experience matter here. No matter your race, ethnicity, religion (or lack of it), age, relationship status, parenting status, physical ability,
finances, nationality, or political perspective, you are welcome here.
I recognize that betrayal and relational rupture affect people from every walk of life, and that healing is enriched when diverse voices are honored. This is a space where differences are not just accepted, they are valued as part of what makes our community strong.
Here, you are seen, respected, and safe to show up fully... as yourself.
Why Trauma-Informed Certification Matters for Real Safety
Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification
Here, I gained a foundational trauma-informed framework to understand how trauma impacts identity, nervous system functioning, and core belief systems. It combined neuroscience, embodiment, and practical tools. This approach ensures that every woman I work with is met with the care, sensitivity, and awareness her story deserves.
Nutrition for PTSD and Complex Trauma
This certification deepened my understanding of how trauma impacts not just our emotions and nervous system, but our bodies as a whole. I learned to integrate nutritional, herbal, and somatic interventions into trauma-aware support, equipping me to hold space for healing that honors brain-body rooted recovery.
Trauma-Informed Peer Group Facilitator
Doing this 12-week certification gave me the tools to design safe, empowering groups for betrayed partners. I learned how to integrate trauma awareness with intentional group structure and relational presence so women feel seen, heard, and supported through every step of their healing journey..
My Coaching Style
My coaching style may be different from what you’ve come across before. I’m not going to promise that your life (or your husband) will be totally transformed for the better in six months. Betrayal trauma recovery is absolutely a marathon, not a sprint.
There are layers, nuances, stumbling blocks and sometimes land mines, all of which require careful consideration of your specific needs and gentle navigation as we pause to rest or make adjustments for safety and growth.
What I WILL promise you is that I know what this is like. I know the pain, the fear, the confusion, the rage, the humiliation, isolation, triggers and sheer overwhelm of the new and shattered reality that was forced upon you. I understand the racing heart, intrusive thoughts, waves of grief, lack of sleep and numbness that sometimes all show up in the same day.
​
My coaching is rooted in trauma-informed care, nervous system awareness, and lived experience. I’m not here to fix you, push you to move on, or hand you a checklist and call it healing.
I’m here to create a space where you can finally stop bracing. Where you can hear your own voice again, maybe for the first time in years.
​
This is not performance-based healing. I’m not watching the clock or measuring your progress against someone else’s timeline. I’ll never tell you that you need to forgive to feel better, or that your husband’s behavior is a reflection of your worth. That’s not what we do here. I’m not afraid to speak truth, even when it’s heavy. But I won’t drop it on you without care. I move slowly, intentionally, and with deep respect for what your body and heart have been through.
Whether we’re in a group call or you’re working through one of my self-paced courses, you’ll feel it: that you’re being witnessed, not managed. That your anger isn’t too much. That your numbness isn’t a problem to fix. That you’re not crazy for still caring or still hurting.
​
I blend practical tools with spiritual grounding. That might look like journaling through a boundary script, noticing how your body responds to a difficult conversation, processing with somatic movement, or asking questions no one’s ever given you permission to ask. I believe in nervous system regulation, yes. But also in sacred anger, in rest, in stillness, and, in clarity that builds over time.
