From Surviving to Thriving! Heal from your trauma and bloom into something beautiful!
Welcome to Lotus Trauma Healing and Coaching
Helping Trauma Survivors Bloom and Thrive Through Empowerment, Resilience and Strength
About Lotus Trauma Healing and Coaching
At Lotus Trauma Healing and Coaching, I empower trauma survivors to thrive, not just survive. The lotus flower serves as a powerful reminder that trauma survivors can withstand and survive through harsh, painfully messy conditions, thriving and growing into something very beautiful. It is a symbol of rebirth, strength and resilience. You have had the strength and perseverance to withstand such difficult challenges and have continued to push through when it seems easy to just stay submerged in the muddy mess and give up.
As a survivor of trauma, I understand the unique challenges that survivors face. Perhaps you feel like you are too broken to heal. Know you are not broken!! You have been deeply wounded. Maybe you feel stuck in an endless trauma response cycle when triggered, leaving you feeling frustrated and defeated because your trauma response behaviors have made relationships hard, often leading to a life filled with abandonment and fear of being rejected. Those trauma response behaviors are coping mechanisms that have served a purpose to help you handle intense emotions from your painful, past traumatic experiences so you can feel safe.
There is hope! You can heal and develop new coping mechanisms so when triggered you are able to meet your needs for safety in a healthy, self fulfilling way. Healing is hard work. Recovery and healing is not a linear process. You will ebb and flow, sometimes back into the mud as you continue to grow in healing your wounds. It is about progress, not perfection. You have been working hard on surviving and now you can focus on thriving!
​
You do not have walk this journey alone! I am here to provide a safe place for you and meet you where you are at. In our work together, I will help you build your strength and resilience, empowering you as you learn to navigate the challenges and setbacks that come with healing. I look forward to helping you heal, helping you move forward through your pain and watching you bloom into something beautiful!

About Me
Melanie Gregory, MS, CTIC
I have a passion and mission to educate and cultivate a culture that is healing for trauma survivors, especially in the church, and to empower trauma survivors to thrive by creating a safe, non-judgmental space to grow and move forward in healing. As a survivor myself, I can relate to the painful struggle and challenges that come with healing from complex trauma and the feeling of being lost on how to develop a life where you break free from the bondage of trauma response behaviors and developing a trauma free identity. You are not your trauma! Your trauma is not your fault or your identity. You are more than your trauma and a warrior!
I have two favorite quotes: "The most beautiful flowers grow after the hardest rain because it must rain in order for us to grow." Also, a quote from a poem I love "It is in the Valley's I Grow"- " Thank you for valleys, Lord For this one thing I know. The mountain tops are glorious, but it’s in the valleys I grow!" If we never expereince struggles and pain we never have to opportunity to grow. What is even more beautiful is when you make it to that mountain top, the peace you feel is because YOU climbed that mountain. YOU did that work! That achievement is because YOU became empowered and overcame. YOU fought. YOU won! Struggles build strength and character. Although my journey was hard and painful, I am grateful I have had the chance to walk through those valley's as it has empowered me, created understanding, compassion and empathy for others who have those same struggles. You are not alone. I understand your pain, your silence and your tears. I have been there.
