Creative Expression Meets Trauma-Informed Coaching: A multi-sensory path to mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual fulfillment

An Integrated Approach to Growth. True well-being is interconnected. At The Coaching Place, we believe lasting transformation occurs when we honor the interplay between the body, mind, heart, and spirit. We use evidence-based coaching practices and creative expression to help you process experiences and achieve meaningful personal growth.

"The most powerful story you will ever tell is the one you tell yourself."

Healing Through Expressive Art

Non-clinical expressive art is a strong tool for:

Emotional Regulation: Developing healthy ways to process feelings.
Creating a Visual Vocabulary: Creating symbols for your inner world, and using visual vocabulary to express what words cannot.
Mindfulness: Reducing stress through the "flow state" of creation.

Interested in Journaling or Memoir Writing?

Unlike a chronological autobiography, a Memoir focuses on specific themes and emotional truths. Selective, reflective writing can be used as a tool for healing—helping you make meaning of the moments that shaped you most profoundly.

Is it emotionally safe? Yes. A trauma-informed lens ensures that your journaling practice is private, mindful, and emotionally safe for your innermost feelings.

Focus: Self-discovery and clarity. Process thoughts and find your life's direction in a judgment-free space.

"Fran supported me when I felt lost about my future, and it was the best decision I could have made. With her guidance, I was able to identify my true professional goals, and I couldn't be more confident in the direction I've chosen. I’m now moving forward with total clarity and satisfaction."

"After my mother passed, I was left with a collection of her most cherished childhood memories. Fran provided the guidance and structure I needed to turn those notes into a cohesive memoir. Her support during such a personal project was invaluable."

Wil L., St. Louis, MO

"After moving from Nigeria to the US, I wanted to leave my past behind, but I realized I needed a safe way to process my history without the pressure of speaking to strangers. Fran guided me through the journaling process, providing the tools and the space I needed to work through childhood trauma at my own pace. Through our work together, I’ve found a peace I didn't think was possible and finally realized that what happened was not my fault. I am so grateful for her help. Thanks, Fran!"

"I’ve always doodled, but I used to wonder if it was just a nervous reaction to my stress. Fran helped me realize that my 'doodling' was actually a way to process my thoughts. Now, I combine journaling with my drawings, and it has turned the process into something that is actually fun! She helped me turn a habit into a healing tool."
