About Brooke
I am an accredited trauma coach, therapist & global No.1 bestselling author I work with midlife women who struggle with mother wounds and childhood trauma and want to heal those wounds, find their power, confidence and release their trauma so they can go for their goals
I’m passionate about this as I once felt powerless & was scared to show up in the world as me, I then started working on my mindset, I discovered who I was & love the feeling of inner contentment & confidence. I went from scared to speaking on stage
I am an introvert that discovered how to rewire my mind & regulate my nervous system, release my trauma so I could achieve the dreams I wanted to achieve & now I help people do the same by helping them.
I can hand on heart say ‘I know it can be done, I have walked in similar shoes to yours, I have felt your fears, I have been frustrated by blocks.
A bit about my background, I had an abusive relationship growing up with a narcissist mother, I then moved on to twoabusive relationships, I’ve been homeless, I brought up 4 children single handed, I have a unique way of understanding people where they are at & helping them to find their power.
I now live in a beautiful house with my husband and run a successful business whilst having fun on adventures in our campervan.
