Meet Terry deAragon:

Registered Nurse. Board Certified Nurse Coach. Advocate for Lasting Change.

For much of my life, I thought being strong meant doing more and keeping everyone else okay, even when I wasn't.

Looking back, I can see I wasn't broke. I was doing what I had learned to do to get through life.

Through 19 years of nursing and my own healing journey, I've learned that lasting change doesn't begin with self-judgement. It begins with understanding.

Today, I use trauma-informed coaching, HeartMath® tools, and evidence-based education to help women recognize what is shaping their responses, regulate stress, and rebuild self-trust. My goal is to help each woman feel more connected to herself and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.

Why This Work Matters to Me

Having faced and overcome significant personal struggles, I know firsthand the toll trauma can take on the mind, body, and spirit. When conventional medicine and traditional mental health care did not bring the lasting healing I was seeking, my own journey through mental health and relationship challenges led me to explore the deeper science of trauma and its impact on the whole person.

Through this journey, I discovered that true healing goes beyond symptom management, it involves reconnecting with the body, restoring emotional safety, and reclaiming one’s sense of self. This experience fuels my commitment to helping others uncover their inner strength and rebuild lives rooted in peace, resilience, and purpose.

FAQs

Got Questions? Your Healing Journey Starts Here.

What is trauma-informed coaching?

Trauma-informed coaching helps you understand how past experiences may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors today. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with me?" you'll begin to understand the patterns that once helped you survive. Together, we'll build greater self-awareness, resilience, and practical tools to create lasting change.

What makes your approach different?

As a Registered Nurse and Board Certified Nurse Coach, I combine evidence-informed neuroscience, trauma-informed principles, and compassionate coaching to help women better understand themselves. My approach honors the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and lived experience, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.

Who do you work with?

I work with women who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in repeating patterns. Many of my clients are service-driven professionals, including nurses, teachers, first responders, leaders, caregivers, and women navigating burnout, divorce, grief, or major life transitions.

How do I get started?

The first step is scheduling a free Discovery Call. We'll talk about where you are today, what you're hoping to achieve, and whether my coaching approach is the right fit for you. If we decide to move forward together, we'll create a path that supports your goals and your journey.

Do I need to have experienced trauma to benefit from coaching?

Not at all. Many women come to coaching because they feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns they don't fully understand. You don't need a specific diagnosis or traumatic event to benefit from learning more about yourself and creating lasting change.

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone.

Healing is not about becoming someone else. It is about understanding what shaped you, reconnecting with who you are, and choosing how you want to move forward. If you are ready to let go of patterns that no longer serve you and create a life filled with greater peace, resilience, and purpose, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

“You are not your patterns. They may have helped you cope in the past, but they do not have to define who you are or where you go next.” ~ Terry
