Danielle Bereziat

Life Coach & Somatic Trauma Therapist

With a career spanning over 25 years in the field of mental health and trauma recovery, Dani applies a holistic, individualised approach to facilitating trauma healing in her work as a trauma - informed Life Coach and Somatic Trauma Therapist.
 
Dani’s extensive professional experience, with multi-disciplinary qualifications in mental health and specialist training in recovery - oriented practice, positions her as a leader in mental health recovery and is more deeply informed by her personal experience of overcoming the impact of unresolved trauma in her own life.
 
Supporting others through the lens of her lived experience facilitates Dani’s deep resonance with her clients and compassion for others living with the impact of unresolved traumatic imprint in their lives.
 
Throughout her career Dani has observed that every person she has supported in mental health recovery, shares a lived experience of events or environments that they have experienced as traumatic.
 
She has consistently witnessed how people with unresolved trauma are pathologized and how ineffective, ‘top down’ traditional talking therapies offered by clinicians to treat trauma and CPTSD often re-traumatise clients, causing further dysregulation and more complex trauma.
 
Compelled to expand her professional skill set to learn safe, effective tools and processes to facilitate lasting transformation, Dani explored holistic modalities and certified as an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Practitioner and Trauma - Informed Life Coach.
 
Although she was able to facilitate positive shifts and personal growth for herself and her clients, Dani became increasingly trauma informed and driven to continue to expand her knowledge base to understand more about working with the deeper subconscious blocks that she knew were rooted in trauma.
 
With the awareness that unresolved trauma keeps us stuck in trauma responses ( fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and survival patterns that continue to prevent us from taking the aligned action to step into our personal power and show up fully as our authentic selves, Dani’s ongoing pursuit of safe, progressive treatments to facilitate effective long term trauma healing, led her to somatic, body based therapies, developed by world leaders achieving breakthroughs in trauma healing, including Peter Levine.
 
Immersing herself in the study of somatic processes and therapies including Embodied Processing ( E.P), a holistic ‘bottom-up’, guided somatic approach to healing trauma stored in the body, Dani became qualified as an E.P Practitioner.
 
Embodied Processing focuses on establishing and anchoring a resource of safety in the body, before beginning gentle somatic inquiry, to safely and gently explore through, embody, process and discharge traumatic imprint stored in the body, emotions and subconscious mind, allowing us to move out of survival stress, trauma responses, survival patterns and stuck places without having to talk about our trauma or be re-traumatised.
 
Her ongoing study of somatic approaches and practice of E.P, deepens Dani's profound understanding of trauma and the many environments in which traumatic imprint develops, how it stores in the body and subconscious mind, impacting our functioning and equips her with the tools to facilitate deep, transformative, lifelong healing.
 
Her personal experience as a recipient and practitioner of Embodied Processing facilitates Dani’s ongoing personal transformation and trauma healing journey and continues to drive her passion to guide others to achieve the transformation they also desire.
 
In her private practice at Limitless Life Coaching & Somatic Trauma Therapy, Dani’s unique approach draws upon her extensive skill set and innate ability to attune to her clients, guiding them at an individual level to safely embody, process and discharge stored traumatic imprint and facilitate emotional and nervous system regulation, wholeness and authenticity, resilience, personal empowerment and lasting transformation.
