 The Coaching Industry Is Changing

Life coaching, NLP, and traditional mindset tools are no longer enough. AI is already delivering reframes, goal-setting and visualisation scripts. But AI can’t co-regulate with a dysregulated nervous system. It can’t sense freeze states. It can’t create embodied safety.

That’s where you come in.

Trauma lives in the body.
And embodied, somatic coaching is the future of ethical, effective client work.

This isn’t just another coaching certification.

This is a globally recognised, Ofqual regulated CMI QUALIFICATION.

The CMI Level 7 in Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching & Leadership sets the highest benchmark in an unregulated industry so you can raise the bar for your career and your clients.

BONUS #1

If you pay in full

Internal Family System is a core tenet of the programme BUT if you pay in full, you will gain access to deeper IFS tools you can utilise with your clients. 

Gain access to an additional 2 x 90 minute Internal Family System Modules to enhance the deeper work you can do with your clients. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that helps people understand and harmonise the different parts of their inner self.

Imagine your mind as a family. Just like a real family, it has various members, each with its own personality, feelings, and roles. These "members" or "protector parts" of your mind can sometimes be in conflict with each other, leading to emotional distress or unhealthy behaviours.

What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?

Protector Parts:
These are the different aspects of your personality. For example, you might have a part that feels angry, a part that feels sad, a part that wants to please others, and a part that seeks safety. These parts try to keep you safe and prevent you from feeling pain or hurt. 

Self:
This is the core of your being, your true self, which is calm, compassionate, and wise. The Self is capable of understanding and leading your protector parts. Like the CEO of your inner system.

Exiles:
These parts hold the pain and trauma from past experiences. They are often hidden away to protect you from feeling overwhelmed. The pain of the exile is what the inner system wants to soothe, distract or move away from.

Key Concepts of IFS:

How IFS Works:

Identify Your Protector Parts: You start by recognising and getting to know the different parts of yourself.

Understand Their Roles: You explore why each part acts the way it does and what it is trying to achieve.

Heal and Harmonise: With the guidance of your Self, you work to heal the wounded parts and help the protector parts relax. This leads to greater internal harmony and wellbeing.

The main goal of IFS is to create a balanced and harmonious internal system where all parts are understood and appreciated. By doing so, you can live a more integrated and fulfilling life, free from internal conflicts and distress and reach your true potential.

‘Working with Caroline on the Trauma Informed Coaching Certification has been an absolute transformation and joy..’

— Connie Diffenderfer, BSN, RN, NC-BC

The course is organized, thorough, effective, efficient, and a pleasure to work though. It has changed me personally and professionally.
 I've never seen anyone so sincere, professional, and genuine as Caroline.
She brings a safe container that is ideal for learning and application of evidence based and informed practice. I look forward to any opportunity to learn from and work with such an inspirational and powerfully beautiful human being. I'm a better person and coach because of her and this program. Thank you Caroline... sincerely... With all of my heart. 

‘Caroline Gave Me The Confidence To Create A New Business’

— Trudy Dawson

“Caroline empowered me to take my first step into the coaching world and gave me the confidence to create a new business for myself. Having never coached before, I thought I was going to be out of my depth. However, Caroline has managed to take the complex subject of trauma and structured the course in such a way that you can easily understand.

Caroline always goes above and beyond by arranging many interesting speakers and additional trainings that can add value and support your business, which makes this course fantastic value for money.
Caroline is also creating a wonderful community of coaches that can help and support each other so you never feel like you are on your own. She has helped me understand that our own experiences can be used not just to help others heal, but to really help them thrive.”

‘Everyone should have the opportunity to gain these skills’

— Emma Le Prevost

I have enjoyed every part of the Somatic Trauma Informed Certification, it has been full of valuable information and resources.

I am a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and feel that Caroline's certification has been the missing part, that previously I didn't even know was missing! Trauma effects everyone and it is so important to work with the sensations that come up within the body, I now feel that I have the confidence to hold space for clients to do this. I have particularly enjoyed the information around the PolyVagal Theory and how this certification enables me to be IFS informed as I feel that I can stand back and see people as their true SELF. This certification has also been transformational for myself.

Instead of, at times, getting tangled up in the thoughts in my head, I am now able to stand back and feel the sensations within my body and work through to see what it is my inner child needs, knowing that me, as my adult SELF can provide this. It feels freeing to have these tools to be able to use. Everyone should have the opportunity to gain these skills. I feel so grateful that I can share these with my children, family and clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hello, I’m Caroline Strawson, a multi-award winning certified Trauma Informed Therapist & Coach and founder of The Mental Wellbeing Company.

I may be all that, but I am, first and foremost, human. Just like you.

In 2010, I experienced a series of life changing traumatic events. My mum, who was my rock, died very suddenly, and my husband walked out on me and our two children. He was a covert narcissist and I did not know what I had experienced and about the post separation abuse that was to ensue

I was left with over £70,000 ($85,000) worth of debt and at that time; I didn’t even realise I’d experienced narcissistic abuse, which is a form of domestic abuse. I was at rock bottom, a shell of myself.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and realised that I was suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and self harm. All the while thinking “How could an intelligent woman like myself, with a medical background, find herself in this situation!?!”

I felt stupid, alone, isolated, and in a very dark place. No one seemed to understand what I was going through, and the more I seemed to talk about the (narcissistic) abuse I suffered, the more I felt misunderstood. This just perpetuated my feelings of not feeling worthy or good enough.

The truth is, I needed someone who understood my trauma, but that person didn’t exist.

My personal journey with abuse, trauma and healing, paired with my background in neuroscience and professional coaching experience and therapy, inspired me to take this path to educate people like you so that you can understand how your experiences have impacted you and how you can heal.

I Don’t Want Anyone Else to Suffer the Pain I Did for as Long as I Did.

I want you to have your own personal EVOLUTION just like I have because life is for living and not existing, and I spent decades merely existing.
