Healing After the Storm
Pro Bono Virtual Coaching for Flood Survivors & First Responders in Texas & New Mexico
From Inner-Naturalist | With Lari Jo, ICF-Certified Coach
When the Waters Recede, the Grief Remains
The recent devastating floods in Texas and New Mexico have left deep scars—both visible and invisible.
Whether you lost your home, responded on the front lines, or are quietly holding it together for your family—the emotional weight of disaster is real.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
At Inner-Naturalist, I’m offering free, trauma-informed virtual coaching sessions to those affected—both survivors and first responders.
Why Reach Out?
Research shows that emotional support in the first 3 months after a natural disaster significantly lowers the risk of long-term PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
Survivors of floods are up to 5x more likely to experience mental health challenges.
Virtual coaching is:
• Accessible from anywhere, even if you're displaced.
• Confidential, non-judgmental, and gently paced.
• Grounded in nature-based healing, Gestalt practices, and deep listening.
What I Offer
I combine professional coaching with grounded, nature-connected care.
ICF-Certified Coaching
You’ll be supported by a trained and credentialed coach (International Coaching Federation). My coaching honors your autonomy, resilience, and inner wisdom—especially in times of deep disruption.
Nature-Based Resources
Nature offers powerful metaphors and medicine. Even if you can’t step outside, we’ll use grounding imagery, breath-work, and nature-anchored prompts to help your nervous system stabilize.
Gestalt Approach
This trauma-informed style focuses on your present moment experience—what’s happening in your body, thoughts, and emotions right now. We won’t fix or rush grief; we’ll witness, feel, and integrate it.
Grief & Trauma-Sensitive Space
Loss comes in many forms—lives, homes, safety, routines. I hold space for sorrow, anger, numbness, confusion… all of it. There is no “right way” to grieve, only your way.
Who This Is For
• Survivors of the floods navigating grief, fear, overwhelm, and loss of stability
• First responders experiencing secondary trauma, burnout, or emotional exhaustion
• Loved ones and caregivers supporting others but needing support themselves
You are welcome here.
What to Expect
• 45-minute free 1:1 virtual coaching session (Zoom or phone)
• Option for continued sessions, always free to those directly impacted
• Nature-anchored practices for grounding and nervous system support
• Personalized support to meet you where you are—no pressure to “be okay”
The Research Supports It

YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
Grief doesn’t follow a calendar. Healing is not linear.
