What does Whole and Capable Coaching actually do?
I help individuals and teams navigate internal transformation with clarity, courage, and authenticity. Whether you're facing a major life shift, stuck in a cycle of burnout, or sensing something deeper that needs healing, I offer trauma-informed coaching that meets you where you are—and helps you move forward.
My approach blends neuroscience, lived experience, and 25+ years in education and leadership. I’m certified through Moving The Human Spirit and trained to hold space for post-traumatic growth, mindset shifts, and sustainable change. Together, we uncover strengths, challenge limiting patterns, and build the skills needed to thrive.
For workplaces, Whole and Capable Coaching offers customized solutions that foster psychological safety, resilience, and emotionally intelligent leadership. I support teams in rewriting inherited narratives, navigating change with integrity, and cultivating cultures where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.
Whether you're an individual seeking personal transformation or a leader ready to build a trauma-informed workplace, I’m here to help you live—and lead—with wholeness and capability.
MY STORY
I grew up in a family that was plagued by generational trauma. It was the unspoken history that remained unbroken for so long that dysfunction appeared to be normal. Once out on my own I became a teacher who always had a soft spot for the survivors and students who had their voice silenced.
For 50 years I lived in survival mode under the weight of my trauma wounds. In doing so, I developed many behaviors that were damaging to my relationships. When I had blown up my life and had nowhere else to go I started to heal. That's when I began to take a look at those behaviors that no longer served me and the triggers that were screaming to be heard. When I broke the cycle of Generational Trauma and owned my story, my life changed exponentially for the better. What I now know to be true is that most issues are rooted in a trauma wound. All behavior is communication.
In a past life I was a teacher, principal and educational consultant. Now, with a new perspective, I hold space for others to move forward as a Trauma-Informed Executive Coach. I am Anastasia and this is my story; all of the trauma, triggers and every juicy plot twist.
Join me today to reach your highest potential!
Cheers!

"I have spent a long time in my life living under the weight of my past. Now, after 4 sessions with Whole and Capable Coaching I am inspired to move forward and I am not afraid to examine the things that were holding me back.
