Trauma-informed coaching is an approach that acknowledges and integrates an understanding of trauma and its effects into the coaching process. It emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered and in control of their healing journey. Trauma-informed coaches recognize the impact of past trauma on a client's present experiences and behaviors, and they prioritize safety, trust, and collaboration. This approach focuses on strengths, resilience, and growth while respecting the individual's pace and boundaries. Trauma-informed coaching helps clients navigate through challenges, develop coping skills, and achieve their goals with sensitivity and compassion.

Intersectional feminist-informed coaching integrates the principles of intersectionality and feminist theory into the coaching process. It recognizes that individuals experience multiple intersecting systems of oppression and privilege based on factors such as race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability. This approach emphasizes understanding the unique experiences and needs of each client within the context of these intersecting identities. Intersectional feminist-informed coaches prioritize social justice, inclusivity, and empowerment, aiming to challenge systemic inequalities and promote equity. They create a space where clients can explore how social, cultural, and political factors impact their lives and goals, while also honoring their strengths and agency. This approach fosters self-awareness, critical thinking, and collective action, empowering clients to create meaningful change in their lives and communities.

Health at Every Size (HAES) coaching is a client-centered approach that focuses on supporting individuals of all body sizes in adopting health-promoting behaviors. It challenges the traditional weight-centric paradigm and emphasizes body acceptance, respect, and compassionate self-care. HAES coaching prioritizes holistic health, including physical, mental, and emotional well-being, rather than focusing solely on weight loss or achieving a specific body size. It encourages clients to cultivate a positive relationship with food and movement, free from guilt or shame, and to listen to their body's signals of hunger, fullness, and satisfaction. HAES coaches work collaboratively with clients to set realistic goals that align with their values and preferences, promoting sustainable changes that support long-term health and overall well-being.
