Welcome to
From Surviving to Thriving
Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching & Compassionate Change for Women, Parents & Leaders
Your body isn’t broken... it’s trying to keep you safe.
At Create Change Wellbeing, I help you reconnect with your nervous system, rediscover your sense of self, and build a life that feels calm, connected, and aligned.
I see you - from survival to thriving....body, mind & heart to heal, grow & thrive
I’m Caroline Hargreaves a trauma informed wellbeing specialist, accredited coach and somatic guide, here to help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your sense of self, and gently move from surviving to thriving.
I’ve walked the path myself, through trauma, abuse, solo parenting, burnout, codependency and disconnection. My healing journey has taught me this: your body is not broken. It’s protecting you in the only way it knows how. And healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself... it’s about creating safety in your body, so you can trust yourself again.
Today, I support others - just like you - to feel safe, seen and supported as they unlock trauma gently and build nervous system resilience from the inside out.
I'm a certified somatic trauma informed coach, trained in Positive Psychology, Brainspotting, IEMT, hypnotherapy and breathwork. I am Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed.
I integrate evidence-based tools with compassionate, embodied coaching, underpinned by Polyvagal Theory and trauma-informed principles of safety, choice, collaboration and trust.
Whether I’m guiding a 1:1 session, facilitating a leadership workshop, or delivering a parent retreat, I create safe, shame-free spaces where you can slow down, connect inward and begin to heal, not just cognitively, but somatically.
My sessions are experiential. That means we go beyond talking...we breathe, we notice, we feel. We listen to the messages your body is holding. Together, we explore gentle somatic practices, parts work, nervous system mapping, and emotional regulation tools to help you shift from survival patterns into a more empowered, regulated and connected version of yourself..
I support women, parents, professionals and purpose-led leaders who feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism or disconnection.
You may be navigating life after trauma, struggling to parent while healing yourself, or yearning for a life that feels less like surviving and more like living. You might not have words for what you're feeling but your body knows. And we start there.
I also deliver trauma informed training and coaching across workplaces, education settings, public sector organisations and communities...helping to create emotionally safe, resilient systems where people can grow, not just cope.
✨ Healing happens in safe relationships
✨ Your nervous system isn’t your enemy... it’s your guide
✨ You don’t need to be ‘fixed’... you need to feel safe enough to be fully yourself
✨ True wellbeing is felt, not forced
✨ You are not broken...you are becoming
Our Mission at Create Change Wellbeing is to help people move from surviving to thriving through compassionate, trauma informed support.
We create safe, shame-free spaces for emotional regulation, healing, and reconnection... with self, with others, and with life.
When we heal ourselves, we break generational patterns, strengthen families, and build healthier communities.
Change starts here.
✔ You’re constantly on edge, even when things seem “fine.”
✔ You feel constantly overwhelmed, like you're just trying to get through the day.
✔ No matter how much you try, you keep falling back into the same patterns.
✔ Your mind is always racing and your body feels exhausted.
✔ You’re tired of feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions.
✔ Anxiety, stress, or past experiences are holding you back from feeling fully present.
✔ You long for peace, but it feels out of reach.
✔ You want calm, connection, clarity but don’t know how to get there.
You’re not broken....You’re carrying too much and that’s something we can work with...let's lighten the load!
Together, we’ll build awareness, compassion, and tools to help you regulate your nervous system, set boundaries, and feel more in control of your life.
You can heal. You can thrive. You just need the right support.
Where healing begins with safety and change begins in the body.
Caroline is available to support you on your journey in various ways because it's not a one size fits all...
One Breath. One Moment. One Step at a Time.

You're amazing at what you do, its really made me think in ways I never have, thank you.
K
I feel so positive and like I've really turned a corner for myself and my own confidence
H
You have given me some great tools to try and cope with life. You are by far the best therapist I've ever had a session with.
S
Highly recommend Caroline, she really knows her stuff! You won't be disappointed.

Caroline was absolutely wonderful and her knowledge on this subject was exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to book on any of her courses as her passion for this subject shines through.

I cannot thank Caroline enough for the session. What made it even more powerful was sitting in a room of other parents, being able to openly share our experiences, fears and anxieties. To be able to understand trauma informed parenting is essential for breaking generational cycles and I truly believe that every parent will find value in the space that Caroline creates. I’ve already implemented my learnings with my daughter and feel I’m more aware of emotions and how they show up. Thank you Caroline for everything that you do!

What I have noticed the most is how I can now live in the moment more if I ever start to feel any negative feelings or anxiety I can offer myself something now which I have never had all my life from myself or anyone else and I'm able to reassure myself and actually lessen the anxieties that would previously have held me back. I have a much more positive outlook on life and more tools in my bag to be able to cope and build myself into who I want to become rather than focusing on things that actually in hindsight don't matter. I am really proud of myself now which is something I wouldn't even have dreamed of saying a couple of months ago.

Feeling overwhelmed often happens when we’re carrying too much…mentally, emotionally, or physically. Coaching helps by creating space to explore what’s holding you back, reconnect with yourself and develop practical strategies to move forward. My approach is trauma informed and uses positive psychology meaning we work at your pace in a way that feels safe and empowering to heal, grow and thrive.
Healing from abuse is a unique journey, one that I have experienced, and having the right support is essential. I offer 1:1 support and group coaching tailored to those recovering from these experiences. We focus on rebuilding self-trust, setting healthy boundaries and reclaiming your sense of self. You’re not alone and support is available when you are ready.
My 1:1 coaching and online programmes are available worldwide for English-speaking clients. In-person workshops and training are primarily in the UK, but I’m open to travel depending on the opportunity.
A trauma informed approach recognises that many people have experienced adversity that affects their mental and emotional wellbeing. It prioritises safety, trust and empowerment, ensuring that individuals are supported in a way that reduces stress and supports resilience. In workplaces, schools and personal development, this approach helps create environments where people feel valued, understood and able to thrive.
I offer a range of solutions, including trauma informed workshops, positive psychology workshops, understanding the physiology of domestic abuse training, plus Trauma Informed Mental Health First Aid Programmes, which all support workplace wellbeing, your leadership team and your staff. My approach is flexible and tailored, ensuring that strategies are not just implemented but embedded into your workplace culture for lasting impact.
