LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Michele D'Souza

I’m a business strategist, trauma-informed coach, and founder of Puzzle-Peace Coaching, a practice shaped by over two decades in social care leadership and the sudden, life changing loss of my brother, Nick. That experience taught me that even the strongest leaders need safe, compassionate spaces to be seen and supported.

My mission is to create those spaces for leaders, founders, and service-driven professionals, bringing together trauma-informed care, nervous system education, and strategic clarity to help people grow without burning out.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I combine ICF & CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching, Level 5 Coaching Professional training, and real world leadership experience to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching. I’m also a proud member of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, the fastest growing community of its kind in the world.

I believe real change happens when strategy meets humanity and that’s exactly what I bring to every conversation, session, and workshop.
