Afterglow Coaching and Consulting LLC

What inspired me to start my own business was the painful realization that survivors are often left to navigate the aftermath of trauma alone. After my own assault in 2024, I found myself searching for support that simply didn’t exist—someone who understood trauma, who could help me connect to resources, manage the overwhelming emotions, rebuild my routines, and guide me through the legal and professional chaos that followed. I needed compassionate, coordinated, whole-person support, and I couldn’t find it. That gap—combined with my nursing background, leadership experience, and deep desire to turn something devastating into something meaningful—became the spark for Afterglow.

I started this business because I knew survivors deserved a guide, an advocate, a steady presence, and a healing space where their stories mattered. I wanted to create what I needed but never had: a trauma-informed practice where coaching, wellness, and integrative healing come together to help people reclaim their lives. Afterglow was born from the belief that healing is possible, hope can be rebuilt, and no one should have to walk their hardest moments alone.

Clients should choose me because I bring a rare combination of professional expertise, lived experience, and deeply compassionate care to every session. As a registered nurse, senior healthcare leader, and trauma survivor myself, I understand healing from every angle—the emotional, physical, practical, and relational layers that most coaching or wellness providers overlook. I meet clients with empathy, not judgment; with skill, not guesswork; and with presence, not pressure. My coaching is trauma-informed, evidence-aligned, and personalized to each client’s comfort level, whether they need structured goal setting, emotional grounding, accountability, or gentle support through the hardest parts of life.

Clients choose me because I don’t just listen—I understand. I don’t just guide—I walk beside them. My practice blends life coaching, therapeutic touch, energy work, and resource navigation so clients receive whole-person support that acknowledges both the mind and the body. I offer flexible, accessible options—virtual, in-person, or meet-you-where-you-are sessions—that remove barriers and make healing easier. And above all, clients choose me because they feel safe with me. They feel seen, believed, and supported by someone who has stood where they stand and knows how to help them move forward with strength, dignity, and hope.

Services at Afterglow are delivered in a flexible, trauma-informed, and client-centered way designed to meet individuals exactly where they are—emotionally, physically, and logistically. Clients can choose from in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or mobile “meet-you-where-you-are” options, including sessions at their home, workplace, a favorite outdoor space, or another location where they feel safe and comfortable. All services begin with a free discovery call to understand the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level, followed by a personalized plan that blends life coaching, therapeutic touch, energy healing, and wellness strategies based on what will most benefit the individual.

Coaching sessions involve guided conversation, emotional support, clarity-building exercises, and actionable steps to help clients move forward. Energy and therapeutic touch sessions are provided in a calm, respectful environment with an emphasis on grounding, physical comfort, and nervous-system regulation. Clients can combine modalities in one appointment or alternate between them depending on their needs. Throughout the process, documentation, scheduling, and communication are handled with professionalism, confidentiality, and compassion. Every service at Afterglow is rendered with the same core purpose: to create a safe, supportive, and empowering experience that helps clients heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.

At Afterglow, client safety and comfort are top priorities, and several thoughtful measures have been put in place to reduce the risk of COVID-19 while still honoring client preference and autonomy. All shared spaces and surfaces are sanitized between sessions, with additional cleaning protocols for high-touch areas and equipment. Air purifiers are used in indoor settings to improve ventilation, and sessions can be held in larger rooms or well-ventilated areas upon request. Clients may choose mask-optional participation, meaning masks are welcomed and fully supported but not required; I am also prepared to mask at any client’s request to ensure they feel comfortable and protected.

For additional flexibility, Afterglow offers virtual coaching sessions via secure telehealth-style platforms for anyone who prefers remote care or is experiencing symptoms. Mobile and outdoor sessions—such as walk-and-coach appointments or meetings in open-air environments—are also available for clients wanting added space and airflow. These combined measures create a safe, respectful, and adaptable environment where each client can choose the level of protection that feels right for them while still receiving consistent, high-quality support.
