I’m Wanda, also known as CPTSD Warrior

I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR, A TEACHER, A TRAUMA INFORMED SOMATIC COACH & CPTSD SURVIVOR

My mission is to help fellow CPTSD survivors heal. I believe that everyone is capable of healing with the right information and the proper help.

I have been on my own healing journey from CPTSD for 28 years.

I have 20 years experience in the Education and Social Developments fields and am also a Certified Trauma Informed Coach and Certified Somatic Coach.

For the past 8 years, I have volunteered my time as an online Mental Health Advocate for fellow CPTSD survivors as CPTSD Warrior on my Youtube channel as well as my Instagram and Facebook accounts.

I am also a student of evidence-based professional trauma recovery practices to regulate the nervous system, including Healing Trauma with Dr. Peter A. Levine, the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-up and Smart Body Smart Mind with Irene Lyon, and Finding Safety in Your Nervous System with Deb Dana

My future educational goals include obtaining a Masters Degree in Counselling and enrolling in Somatic Experiencing Practitioner training with Somatic Experiencing® International. 

I have a burning desire to learn all that I can about healing from CPTSD, so that I can combine that knowledge with my own lived experience as a Complex Trauma Survivor and impart it onto the world in my own unique way. The main purpose being to help fellow survivors find healing.

I recently started my own online business called Trauma Informed Education Services whose mission is to help people heal from Complex Trauma (CPTSD) by providing Trauma Informed Education and Resources to them and the Professionals who are working with them.

I am passionate about partnering with trauma survivors who have cultivated self awareness and are working on their own healing journeys, but still feeling stuck and in need of some help to figure out their next steps.

I work alongside my clients to provide them with a compassionate safe space and guide them to look inward to find the strength and awareness they already possess.
