Hi there! I am Lisa Hilton
and this is my story…
You may be wondering how I came to be a certified Trauma Recovery Coach.
My professional background was in Administration, where I earned a reputation as a natural “solutionista.” In this role, I was trained to have coaching conversations with leaders and executives, all of which aligned with the value of making a difference in people’s lives.
As I worked with others, I began noticing patterns—how unhealed childhood wounds often shape the way adults face challenges and navigate life. At the same time, my own childhood trauma was surfacing, urging me to seek a different path. This led me to study developmental and childhood trauma, thereby, refining my ability to create a safe, compassionate space for healing that fostered personal growth. Through this journey, my focus became clear: to provide a safe place post-therapy that supports individuals in feeling safe, validated, and empowered, so they can confidently overcome challenges and keep developing the skills needed to create a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
Since 2019, I have been coaching adults as a Trauma & Resilience Specialist (my credentials are below) and I take a compassionate and curious approach, meeting clients where they are at now.
Rather than diagnosing or pathologizing their experiences, I provide a safe, supportive space that fosters growth and healing. Together, we uncover what’s holding them back and work towards personal growth with a trauma-educated lens. This journey may include inner child work, recognizing that the past continues to shape the present.
Working with me means opening the door to new possibilities. As a team, we’ll explore tools for cultivating self-awareness, self-acceptance, and emotional resilience. You’ll learn to trust yourself, communicate with confidence, and develop a deeper sense of belonging. We’ll work through anxiety, self-doubt, addictions, and irrational thinking—breaking free from old patterns and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, and more. My goal is to support you to experience freedom, inner peace, and lasting joy—starting now.
Sibling Abuse Support
Sibling sexual abuse is a global issue that has existed throughout human history. Studies estimate that at least one child in every classroom is a victim—meaning that those who perpetrate this harm are present in classrooms as well. These numbers are staggering.
Sibling abuse is a unique form of horrifying and terrorizing abuse. Many survivors never disclose what happened to them. However, awareness is growing, and change is beginning to take shape. If you have experienced sibling abuse, you are not alone. I invite you to reach out to me through the Contact tab if you would like support or resources.
My webinar, Sibling Rivalry or Sibling Abuse, is currently being updated with the latest research and statistics. It will be available soon. Stay tuned.
This healing journey has been life changing
If you’ve experienced sexual, physical, or emotional abuse—or endured betrayal trauma, emotional abandonment, or sibling abuse—you don’t have to face it alone anymore. I see you. I hear you. I understand. And I’m here to walk this healing journey with you.
You deserve to live shackle-free.
Client Testimonials
You are not alone
I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and feeling sad and lost. I had heard about Lisa’s work and so I reached out to her for help. Lisa shared scientific info about trauma, its impact and how trauma recovery works. I found her to be very understanding and non-judgmental. Her confidence in the coaching process was what I needed and it gave me hope. My goal was to feel calmer and happier, and I achieved that goal with her support. I learned healthy coping skills that I use now and will continue to do so because they work.
My name is June. I started my trauma recovery sessions with Lisa in March, 2021. I heard about this form of treatment at a time when I was experiencing emotional flashbacks that were disrupting my ability to function on a day-by-day basis. Lisa created a safe environment and quickly gained my trust. She is up-to-date on the latest scientific research about complex-PTSD. She is understanding and compassionate. She makes sure I’m in a good place before ending a session and gives practical suggestions as to what to work on between sessions. I see definite improvement in my coping skills and changes in my core beliefs.
