About Charles
I'm Charles Marroni
I didn't always want to be a professional trauma-informed coach; As a child, I dreamed of being a firefighter, admiring their bravery, courage, and uniform. From a young age, I knew I wanted to help people.
As a trauma survivor, I have lived the complex journey of healing childhood trauma. In my experience, finding the right professionals who truly understood my circumstances was difficult.
I was often left dealing with my own complex emotions, scrambling to find a way to get by in a world where I felt misunderstood. Desperate for healing and purpose, I travelled to over 30 countries, searching for something or someone to save me.
On this journey, coaching found me. My life changed when I met my first coach. With their help, I was able to begin healing from my traumatic past. Finally, I found hope, courage, and a true sense of self. I was able to become the real me. As part of my ongoing pursuit of recovery and commitment to healing, I've immersed myself in coaching and have training in multiple modalities. Though different from my childhood vision, this path reflects the same purpose: to help people.
My unique combination of personal experiences, formal training and work history allows me to facilitate healing and growth for others. I have training in Holistic Coaching, Mindfulness, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Trauma Support and Solution-Focused Coaching. I believe in this approach. I have healed because of this approach. These tools and the coaching modality took me from a painful past to a powerful present.
I offer an inclusive, safe space for all individuals on their healing journey to be seen and heard by someone who has walked a similar path.
