I will guide you through the methods that unleash your mind's natural ability to heal, within 12 sessions.​
DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH:
Seeing threats everywhere
Believing you are worthless
Isolating from loved ones
Nervous system exhaustion
These are normal effects of trauma that are not your fault and can be changed.
The purpose of my trauma recovery protocol is not simply to heal the past but to enable a present and future that is truly yours.
I use science-backed methods proven to work swiftly and effectively: Brainspotting, Cognitive Processing, and Internal Family Systems.
SWIFT RELIEF
LASTING RECOVERY
SCIENCE BACKED
Most clients feel relief within one session and
enjoy complete recovery within twelve sessions.
I'm Meredith Shepard, Ph.D., a Yale scholar turned trauma coach. I'm dedicated to helping women discover who they are when trauma is no longer in charge.
I taught trauma recovery narratives in the Ivy League for a decade. ​But I don't just coach from the head--I've also lived it.
I nearly died in childbirth and plunged into a PTSD-induced depression that taught me just how hard it is to find care tailored to career people with trauma. (Everyone, including doctors and therapists, seem to assume that if we're still high-functioning on the outside, we must be doing great on the inside.)
​
​In my search to create the care that I wish I'd had, I knew that it would have to be not just high quality, but high efficiency. As women, we often do not have limitless time or financial resources to use for ourselves. That's why I utilize the gentlest and most effective methods that lead to a life that is free to be your own, not dictated by trauma's whims.

How it Works
It has now been a year since I took this trauma recovery workshop and I feel so grateful I was able to work with Dr Shepard. She made all of this so easy, almost enjoyable, and so transformational. I have made some very healthy changes - I have opened myself up to new friends and a stronger relationship with my spouse. I don't fear the dark, or the future, and I feel more able to express myself with gentle firmness when I disagree with someone else. In a nutshell, I feel like my past trauma no longer dictates my future.
A.P., CA
After a few weeks of using Meredith's postpartum support on WhatsApp, I fired my former therapist. Birth is one thing, but postpartum is the rest of your life changing. She was the only voice of true sanity at that time in my life.
​
Use Meredith if you want postpartum support that is truly judgment-free and new-mom-friendly.
L.R., CO
Her reflection to me of where I am today compared to where I was at the start, was so helpful. Back then, I felt a shell of my former self. Today, I feel so strongly reconnected back into my own inner light, the part of me I so strongly have anchored from, and am able to, again, root and soar from.
