Your heroine’s story isn’t about being saved — it’s about remembering your own strength, hearing your inner voice, and healing forward.

About FoxARC

Jessica wearing white blouse in front of bookshelf

Founded from my own lived experience and professional training, FoxARC Coaching is built on a simple truth: story shapes change. I believe the narratives we carry — conscious or unconscious — influence how we think, relate, protect, and grow. My work honors both the science of transformation and the art of personal narrative, helping women reconnect to confidence, clarity, and purpose as they re-emerge into what’s next.

My background includes advanced training in Mentor Agility’s Trauma-Informed Coaching Program and the Hero’s Journey® Change Model. I bring a rare blend of empathy, structure, and evidence-based tools to support women navigating transition. My approach is rooted in lived experience, academic rigor, and deep respect for each client’s pace and potential.

I integrate research-backed frameworks and narrative models recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC). The work is professional, ethical, and story-driven — pairing self-awareness with the forward movement of coaching.

I use elements of the Hero’s Journey — a timeless framework for transformation — to help you see your life through a wider lens. Every heroine begins in her ordinary world, meets challenge, crosses thresholds, and returns changed. Coaching helps you make meaning of each stage: to frame what’s happened, own your growth, and expand into the next version of yourself with awareness and courage.

Through this work, you’ll learn to recognize where you are in your own arc, navigate uncertainty with steadiness, and move forward with renewed confidence, direction, and purpose.

Coaching is for any woman who senses there’s more to her story than the chapter she’s currently living.

It’s not about being broken or needing to be fixed — it’s about remembering that you’ve always been powerful. My role is to help you see that arc more clearly, understand the forces shaping it, and choose how you want to write the next part of your story.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.”

    Who do I see?

    I see women who have lived. Women who, like me, have carried more than they expected — emotionally, mentally, in relationships, in motherhood, in work, in their families. Women who feel the call to rise into a truer version of themselves, even if they don’t yet know what that looks like.

    My clients come with stories: trauma, transitions, heartbreak, reinventions, awakenings. But they come because they’re ready for something different — not to revisit old wounds, but to remember who they are and move forward with self-trust and true purpose.

    If you’re craving self-trust, clarity, and a grounded sense of direction — even if a part of you thinks nothing will ever make you feel completely whole — you’re in the right place.

    What is trauma-informed coaching?

    Everyone can benefit from trauma-informed coaching. Whether or not you’ve experienced trauma, applying this framework is transformative. It acknowledges that our past informs our present and taps into the deep wisdom and strength each of us carries within.

    Trauma-informed coaching also recognizes that past experiences—especially those that once overwhelmed our sense of safety or control—can shape how we think, feel, and relate today. It doesn’t diagnose or treat trauma or PTSD. Instead, it supports post-traumatic growth: the process of learning, connecting, and finding meaning after hardship.

    Grounded in neuroscience and relational awareness, this approach helps clients build emotional regulation, stability, and resilience. Sessions create a safe, structured space to explore how thoughts, stress, emotion, and behavior interact—and to move forward with clarity, self-trust, intention, and your true purpose.

    Trauma-informed coaching doesn’t dwell in the past. It helps you understand its impact—so you can live, lead, and connect more fully in the present.

    How many people experience trauma?

    Trauma is far more common than most people realize. According to the Sidran Institute for Traumatic Stress Education & Advocacy, about 70% of adults in the United States have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives. Of those, roughly 20% go on to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)—but many more live with ongoing stress responses, relationship challenges, or emotional patterns shaped by earlier experiences. Globally, research suggests that most people will face at least one potentially traumatic event during their lifetime, and resilience—not pathology—is actually the most common outcome.

    What is trauma?

    Trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s what remains. It’s the lasting impact of experiences that overwhelmed our sense of safety, control, or belonging. Trauma can result from a single event, repeated stress, or long-term environments where we were or felt unseen or unsafe.

    Its effects often live in the body and nervous system, showing up as anxiety, shutdown, irritability, perfectionism, or a sense of being constantly “on guard.” Trauma can influence how we relate to ourselves and others, how we handle conflict, and how we experience joy.

    Where does trauma come from?

    Trauma can come from many directions—some sudden, others cumulative or subtle over time. Common sources include:

    Acute trauma: a single event such as an accident, assault, loss, or disaster.

    Chronic trauma: repeated experiences such as abuse, neglect, discrimination, or living in unsafe conditions.

    Complex trauma: prolonged exposure to distress, often beginning in childhood or within relationships where safety should have existed.

    Secondary or vicarious trauma: the impact of witnessing or caring for others who have experienced trauma, common among helpers, parents, and professionals.

    Collective trauma can arise from the political landscape—prolonged exposure to conflict, polarization, and injustice can erode our sense of safety and belonging, leaving communities and individuals carrying chronic stress and emotional fatigue.

    Cultural trauma: the inherited effects of historical oppression, marginalization, community violence, or intergenerational trauma.

    Trauma can come from relationships or childhood experiences even if nothing “big” happened.

    Trauma isn’t defined only by dramatic events—it can also stem from what was missing: safety, attunement, or consistent care. Chronic criticism, emotional neglect, or walking on eggshells can quietly shape the nervous system in the same way as overt harm. These experiences, sometimes called relational or developmental trauma, can affect how we trust, communicate, and regulate emotion later in life.

    Trauma-informed coaching helps clients notice these patterns without shame, build self-compassion, and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others.

    When coaching isn't enough

    Most people have experienced trauma in some form, and coaching can be an important part of post-traumatic growth. If symptoms of PTSD or severe distress are present, we’ll help you connect with a licensed mental-health provider so coaching can safely support—not replace—therapeutic care.

    Many people come to coaching having lived through trauma or prolonged stress. When trauma symptoms interfere with daily life, coaching can complement therapy—not replace it. Therapists and coaches each work within their own scope of practice to support whole-person wellbeing.

    Trauma impacts financial well-being

    Trauma can shape our relationship with money just as it shapes our relationships with people. It can lead to cycles of scarcity, over-control, avoidance, or impulsive spending—all rooted in the nervous system’s attempt to feel safe. Financial stress can also re-activate old survival patterns, making decision-making or planning harder. Trauma-informed coaching helps clients recognize these patterns without shame, regulate stress responses, and rebuild a sense of agency and stability around money.

    Supporting loved ones

    When someone close to us has experienced trauma, it often affects the whole family system. Their reactions—withdrawal, irritability, emotional shutdown—can be signs of protection, not rejection. Coaching can help you understand trauma’s impact on relationships, communicate with empathy, and stay grounded in your own regulation.

    For couples or parents, sessions focus on co-regulation, boundaries, and rebuilding safety through everyday connection. When symptoms of PTSD are present, coaching can work alongside therapy to support recovery rather than replace it.

    Politics, the news, or the world around us

    We live in a time of collective stress—constant news cycles, political polarization, and social division can leave people feeling anxious, powerless, or angry. This “ambient trauma” activates the same nervous-system responses as personal crises. Over time, it can lead to fatigue, numbness, or reactivity.

    Trauma-informed coaching helps clients recognize when they’re overwhelmed, reconnect to what they can influence, and restore a sense of agency and meaning. Grounding, boundaries around media exposure, and purposeful action can all help transform helplessness into resilience and contribution.

Growth often begins with a quiet knowing — the sense that something needs to shift. A pattern. A relationship. A way of being that once fit but now feels too small. Whether you’re navigating change, craving clarity, or rebuilding after rupture, coaching offers a structured, compassionate space to explore what comes next.

I support women who are ready to re-emerge after seasons of survival mode. We start with awareness — listening to the body, honoring the nervous system, and exploring the stories that shape how you think, feel, protect, and connect. Using trauma-informed frameworks, neuroscience, and narrative tools, I help you find steadiness, strengthen resilience, and realign with your values and sense of purpose.

Past experiences — especially those that shook your safety, identity, or belonging — can linger long after they’ve ended. Coaching doesn’t erase what happened; it helps you integrate what remains, rebuild trust in your intuition, and create new patterns rooted in choice rather than fear.

My work centers on resilience and reconnection — helping you recognize old patterns, reclaim agency, and author your story with clarity and compassion.

Complimentary Discovery Call

This free 60-minute call is a low-pressure space to explore whether we’re the right fit to work together. You’ll share what’s beneath the surface — the patterns, stuck points, and shifts you’re longing for. I’ll ask grounding questions, reflect what I’m hearing, and explain how my trauma-informed, intuition-oriented coaching works.

If it feels aligned for both of us, we’ll talk through what working together might look like. This call simply opens the door to a more grounded, self-trusting path forward.

Book Discovery Call

The Path to Self-Trust is a private 12-week coaching experience for women who are done doubting themselves and ready to re-emerge with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Across our work together, I walk beside you as you rebuild the inner steadiness that trauma and major life transitions can erode — so you can make aligned choices, trust your intuition, and lead your life with care, truth, and the self-trust that becomes your superpower.

Because I have no doubt that you will feel more you, if you show up fully for the program — attending all sessions, completing check-ins, participating in messaging support, and following agreed practices — and you still don’t feel meaningful progress in clarity, confidence, and self-trust, I will continue coaching you for an additional 90 days at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Is Coaching? How is it different from therapy?

    Coaching is a collaborative, goal-oriented process that helps people bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. It draws from multiple disciplines—the growth of talking therapies, organizational development, and personal-development training—to create a forward-focused framework for lasting change.

    Not everyone needs therapy. Therapy helps people heal from mental health conditions and deep emotional wounds. Coaching focuses on growth, change, and action. Coaches don’t diagnose or treat; instead, we partner with clients to clarify goals, recognize patterns, and practice new skills. For many people, therapy and coaching complement each other beautifully—addressing both healing and forward movement.

  • How do I know if coaching is right for me?

    Coaching is right for you if you’re ready to move from awareness into action. It’s for people who want to grow—not because they’re broken, but because they’re ready to live with more clarity, stability, and choice.

    You might be coming out of therapy, a difficult season, or a major transition and want help integrating what you’ve learned into daily life. You may sense patterns that keep repeating—at work, in relationships, or within yourself—and want support in understanding and shifting them.

    In coaching, we don’t analyze the past to diagnose it; we visit the past only to understand how it shapes your present and to build new capacities for the future. If you’re curious, motivated, and open to reflection, coaching offers a structured, compassionate space to translate insight into forward movement—one step, one story, one conversation at a time.

  • What is the Hero’s Journey® Change Model?

    The Hero’s Journey® Change Model is based on the classic story arc found across cultures: a call to adventure, facing challenges, transformation, and return with new wisdom. In coaching, it becomes a framework for personal growth. Each client is the hero of their own story—navigating obstacles, discovering inner resources, and returning with greater clarity and self-leadership. It’s not about fixing what’s wrong; it’s about integrating experience and reclaiming agency.

    Mentor Agility’s trauma-informed coaching training builds on this storytelling framework with rigorous, evidence-based education in neuroscience, behavior change, and narrative psychology. The program trains coaches to listen deeply, recognize patterns of resilience, and use the client’s own story as a map for transformation. Graduates are prepared to help clients move through disruption, healing, and growth in a way that honors both science and story.

  • What happens in a coaching session?

    That depends on you and your goals. Each session is client driven, where every session is a focused conversation guided by curiosity and accountability. We explore what matters most to you, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and create realistic next steps. You can expect space for reflection, emotional awareness, and practical planning—without judgment or pressure. It’s about helping you find your internal voice so you can find your values, goals, and purpose - and then put that purpose into action.

  • What guides coaching?

    Organizations like the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC) set ethical standards and credentialing requirements for coaches.

    They emphasize maintaining clear boundaries between coaching, consulting, and psychotherapy—and making appropriate referrals when therapy or medical care is needed.

  • What's the basis for coaching?

    At its heart, coaching is about evoking awareness. Through reflection, questioning, and metaphor, clients uncover patterns, values, and possibilities that shape their lives. This process brings subconscious influences into conscious awareness—helping clients make deliberate choices that align with who they want to become.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    That depends on your goals. Some clients find clarity after a few sessions; others choose longer partnerships to support deeper change. We’ll establish a clear structure and rhythm together, so you always know where we’re headed and why.

  • Do you work with couples or families?

    Yes. FoxARC offers coaching for individuals, couples, parents, and groups. Couples and parent sessions emphasize communication, emotional safety, and shared resilience—especially when trauma or stress has impacted connection at home. Just like everyone has a story, so does every couple and family, and we can all grow from those stories, no matter the circumstance.

  • Is coaching confidential?

    Absolutely. Everything shared in coaching sessions remains private and protected under professional ethics. We’re committed to creating a space where you can speak freely and explore honestly.

  • How do I schedule a session?

    You can book by sending an email to info@foxarccoaching.com or click on a “book now” button or you can call or text directly. You’ll receive a confirmation email and a short intake form so we can focus your first session around your goals and needs.

  • Do you meet virtually or in person?

    Most sessions are held virtually by secure video, allowing clients to meet from anywhere in a private, comfortable space. In-person sessions may be available in the Jackson, Wyoming area by arrangement. It depends on your preference.

    Special travel arrangements may also be arranged based upon needs or goals, number of sessions, or intensive workshop type sessions.

  • What is the cost of coaching?

    Coaching is highly individualized. Rates vary by session type, length, and goals. Typically, individual sessions begin at $300 for 90 minutes or $250 for 60 minutes; initial consultations are free. We recommend purchasing packages, which are discounted, to support sustained growth and accountability.

    Group rates vary depending on program; some group programs include weekly 1:1 sessions in addition to weekly group meetings, while others are solely weekly group sessions. Please inquire about group costs at info@foxarccoaching.com

    Couples rates are available upon request. Scholarships or limited reduced-fee options may be available for those experiencing financial hardship.

    Coaching emphasizes the importance of overall well-being, which includes financial well-being. Trauma impacts that as well, so we are happy to work with clients who express need.

  • Do you offer packages?

    Yes. Many clients choose multi-session packages to support sustained growth and accountability. The most popular package is for 12 sessions over three months.

    Packages can be customized for individuals, couples, or organizations and may include written summaries, reflection tools, and goal tracking between sessions.

  • Why is coaching so expensive?

    Coaching is an investment in personal and relational growth. Each session involves far more than conversation—it includes preparation, follow-up, and customized tools to help you reach your goals. Unlike therapy, coaching isn’t subsidized by insurance, so the full cost reflects the coach’s professional training, continuing education, and the one-on-one time devoted exclusively to you. Many clients find that the clarity, confidence, and long-term behavior change they gain offset the initial expense.

    Further, a benefit of coaching includes overall financial well-being, making the investment pay for itself in the long term. Because of that, we do offer reduced rates for clients who express the need.

  • Can I submit coaching to insurance, HSA, or FSA?

    Coaching is not covered by health insurance. However, some clients successfully use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) if their plan administrator allows wellness or mental-health coaching expenses. I can provide an invoice with session details and credentials for your records. Please check with your HSA/FSA provider before scheduling if you plan to use those funds.
