I NEED THIS NOW!Hey there! I’m Harriet M. Harris—trauma-informed coach, speaker, author, entrepreneur, and the voice behind the You Are Not Your Trauma™ podcast. I help people to choose healing over hurting, to break free from the weight of their past and understand that their experiences don’t define them. Through coaching, writing, and my podcast, I’ve been able to help countless people heal, find strength, and start prioritizing their own well-being without guilt.
I take a compassionate, holistic approach to healing, blending personal development, trauma-informed methodologies, and practical systems to support my clients in growing and reaching their full potential. Together, we focus on nurturing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
I created Holidays & Healing because I know how overwhelming this time of year can feel when you’re on a healing journey. My goal is to help you navigate the season with compassion, clarity, and practical tools, so you can honor your needs, protect your peace, and step into the new year with renewed purpose.
You’re not alone on this journey—and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
