Hi, I’m Shyla
I am the trauma survivor, and coach behind Grow Heal Change and I am passionate about the human spirit and potential. With my own trauma history involving a childhood filled with narcissistic abuse, I have spent many years unpacking trauma. This includes overcoming codependency, toxic shame, depression, and anxiety. This also includes healing my relationship with myself, my body, and building healthy relationships with others. I believe we are here to heal. No matter who we are, we all have a trauma story.
I want to partner with you on your healing path and empower you with attunement, and resources for resilience that were not given to you in your childhood.
Please don’t hesitate to e-mail me at grow@growhealchange.org if you have questions or would like me to write about a specific topic.
