LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Sara Vida

Welcome! I’m Sara Vida, a passionate advocate for trauma-informed practices dedicated to unlocking the transformative power of understanding our nervous systems and their profound influence on our behaviours and responses. By shifting our focus from quick diagnoses to addressing root causes, we can create meaningful, lasting change.

My journey into this field began with personal experience. After hitting rock bottom, I underwent a profound transformation that revealed the critical connection between our nervous system and overall health—both mental and physical. This revelation not only changed my life but ignited a passion to empower others who feel stuck and alone.

As an NHS Health and Well-Being Coach, Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, and movement specialist, I blend extensive professional knowledge with deep personal insights. My holistic, person-centred approach incorporates trauma-informed coaching techniques, motivational interviewing, and behaviour change strategies to foster sustainable transformation. I believe in exploring the complexities of trauma to guide individuals toward clarity, strength, joy, and happiness. My commitment goes beyond individual coaching; I am equally devoted to community initiatives that promote health and wellness.

I utilise somatic and trauma-informed techniques to delve deeper into the root causes of challenges, facilitating transformation that enables individuals to lead fulfilling lives filled with strength and joy. My work encompasses one-on-one coaching and collaborative community initiatives, all aimed at fostering health and wellness that transcends traditional boundaries.

In partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I strive to integrate trauma-informed practices with positive psychology to make these essential tools accessible to everyone. As a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, I hold an ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification and am an active member of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, the fastest-growing community of trauma-informed professionals worldwide.

This advanced certification has equipped me to lead transformative workshops and personalised coaching sessions, focusing on enhancing the mental health and well-being of individuals, teams, and communities

"As a survivor of trauma myself, I know firsthand the impact it can have on every aspect of life.
