Navigating Motherhood After Trauma
Emily Cleghorn is a trauma-informed trauma recovery coach based in Brockway, New Brunswick, Canada.
Through her work, she supports mothers who are navigating the lasting impact of trauma while raising their children.
Emily focuses specifically on helping trauma-surviving moms understand and manage their triggers so they can parent with more calm, clarity, and emotional presence.
Her coaching centers on creating a supportive space where mothers can begin moving out of survival mode and into a place of healing, empowerment, and peace within their motherhood journey.
At the heart of her work is the belief that mothers deserve to feel safe, grounded, and confident while raising their children.
A Personal Journey That Sparked Her Mission
Emily’s path into coaching began with her own experience.
When she became a mother in 2018, she knew one thing with certainty: she did not want to repeat the painful patterns from her own childhood.
But knowing that wasn’t enough.
She quickly realized that managing trauma triggers while parenting was far more complicated than she had expected.
Without clear tools or guidance, she began a personal journey to understand her reactions, learn how to regulate her emotions, and find moments of calm within the chaos.
Through that process, she started discovering strategies, resources, and insights that helped her navigate motherhood differently.
What began as personal healing slowly evolved into a mission to help other mothers who were facing the same struggles.
Creating a Clear Path for Overwhelmed Mothers
Much of Emily’s work today focuses on making trauma recovery easier to understand for mothers who already feel overwhelmed.
Healing from trauma is rarely linear.
As Emily often describes it, the journey can feel like three steps forward and two steps back.
Progress can be slow, especially when people don’t know where to find the right resources or when those resources simply don’t exist in a form that feels accessible.
That reality motivated Emily to spend much of her time building a clearer pathway for mothers who want to heal while raising their children.
Her goal is to translate complex trauma recovery concepts into something practical and approachable, something a busy, exhausted mother can realistically engage with.
By doing so, she helps women move from constant overwhelm toward a more present and empowered version of motherhood.
Growing and Refining the Work
Like many entrepreneurs, Emily continues to refine her work as she grows.
Rather than seeing obstacles as barriers, she approaches them as part of the process of building something meaningful.
Her current focus is strengthening the way she connects with and converts potential clients who are looking for the kind of support she offers.
Each step forward helps her better understand how to reach the mothers who need this work most.
And as she continues to evolve her coaching practice, her mission remains clear: helping trauma-surviving mothers find a path toward healing while raising the next generation with greater peace and intention.
At Reignelle, we continue to share the stories of women who are transforming their lived experiences into meaningful work, supporting others, creating impact, and building paths that once didn’t exist.
