Meet the Founder and Course Instructor

The International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching was founded by Bobbi L. Parish, MA, CTRC-S in the Fall of 2017 and has trained over 900 coaches. A survivor of childhood abuse herself, Bobbi has used her graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy to work with other trauma survivors. In January 2014 she switched from providing therapy to providing coaching, pioneering a profession that had only begun. After experiencing how powerfully coaching helped survivors of trauma heal Bobbi decided to help others become Trauma Recovery Coaches. As one person she could help a limited number of survivors heal. But teaching other coaches and sending them into the world would provide thousands of survivors with high quality, easily accessible help.


Testimonials

  • "Enrolling in this trauma recovery coaching course has been one of the best decisions of my life. From start to finish, the program was an inspiring and deeply impactful journey that equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to support others in their healing processes.

    The curriculum was comprehensive, blending the science of trauma recovery with practical coaching techniques. Each module built on the last, guiding me step-by-step in understanding trauma's complexities and learning how to effectively facilitate healing. The hands-on practice sessions, detailed case studies, and personalized feedback were invaluable in helping me grow as a coach.

    What made this course truly stand out was the incredible depth of care and expertise from the instructors. Their passion for empowering future coaches was evident in every lesson, and their guidance made me feel confident in my ability to make a meaningful difference. The supportive community of fellow students added another layer of richness to the experience, creating a safe space for learning, sharing, and growth.

    I now feel fully prepared to step into my role as a trauma recovery coach, with tools that are practical, transformative, and rooted in compassion. If you’re ready to embark on a meaningful career or expand your skills in this field, this course is a must. It’s not just professional training—it’s a personal evolution. Thank you for such an empowering experience!"

  • I recently worked with a coach from the IAOTRC, and it has truly been life-changing. The sessions provided a safe and supportive space to explore my experiences, and the coach's guidance was both compassionate and empowering. The tools and strategies I learned helped me gain deeper insights into my healing journey, and I now feel more equipped to manage my emotions and move forward with confidence. Working with a coach from the IAOTRC who has a trauma focus has not only improved my mental well-being but has also restored a sense of hope for the future. I am incredibly grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone seeking healing and support.

  • DI cannot speak highly enough of the training I received from the International Association of

    Trauma Recovery Coaches (IAOTRC). I was both surprised and deeply impressed by the quality

    and depth of their curriculum. The training exceeded my expectations in every way, offering a

    robust, well-rounded foundation that expanded my existing knowledge while introducing me to

    new concepts and approaches in the field of trauma recovery.

    What stood out most was the program's comprehensive nature. The curriculum seamlessly

    integrated theoretical frameworks with practical applications, allowing me to immediately apply

    what I learned in my coaching practice. The material not only deepened my understanding of

    trauma but also illuminated its multifaceted impact on identity, relationships, and healing

    processes. This depth and breadth of content challenged and inspired me, fostering both personal

    and professional growth.

    One of the most valuable aspects of this certification was how the program, along with the

    extensive support I received, equipped me to launch into the emerging field of NPE (Not Parent

    Expected) trauma recovery. As commercial DNA testing reshapes the landscape of personal

    identity and family dynamics, this specialization is becoming increasingly vital. The IAOTRC

    curriculum provided a solid foundation for understanding trauma's complex interplay with

    identity and relationships—essential for addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals

    navigating NPE discoveries. This training validated the significance of this work while

    equipping me with the confidence and tools to step into this space as both a leader and an

    advocate.

    With a background in marriage and family therapy, behavioral coaching, and consulting, I found

    the IAOTRC's approach particularly valuable. Their emphasis on evidence-based practices and a

    client-centered ethos made the training not just about acquiring knowledge but about cultivating

    a skill set that honors the lived experiences of those navigating trauma.

    Equally important was the supportive learning environment fostered by the IAOTRC. From

    engaging discussions with knowledgeable instructors to the sense of community among fellow

    trainees, the program created a space where questions were welcomed, and growth was

    celebrated. This collaborative atmosphere amplified the impact of the learning experience.

    Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the IAOTRC certification program to anyone seeking to

    deepen their understanding of trauma recovery, their own lived experiences or embarking on a

    meaningful journey in this field. Whether you are new to trauma recovery work or a seasoned

    professional looking to refine your skills, this program provides the tools, knowledge, and

    confidence needed to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those you serve.
