Testimonials

Here's what others have said about our coaching programs

"My overall experience with Crappy Childhood Fairy coaching, videos and groups is life-changing. I am different as a result. I am better. I am regulated. I am hopeful. I moved from a place of blaming everyone and everything else to a place of acknowledgment and accountability. I found peace for the first time. Thank you!"

DIANE H., CALFORNIA

 

"It is such a relief to be in a room where there is a solution to the long term effects of having CPTSD. Since I finally know what I'm up against, I'm relieved I'm not alone. I have been able to make better decisions during very life changing circumstances as the result of doing the Daily Practice and by learning from Anna's teachings and the mentorship of my coach. My recovery is ongoing and I tell everyone who wants to know about the Daily Practice how much it's a game changer. Truly, I let them know it saved my life and the quality of my life. It's a simple solution to a complex and complicated brain and I will be forever grateful. Do it. Your life will get better."
MAGGIE R. PHOENIX, AZ

 

"I feel like I finally got the memo! I discovered the Crappy Childhood Fairy on YouTube and decided to join the coaching intensive because Anna was providing concrete, practical suggestions to address CPTSD. Having been to years of therapy and spent years exploring the world of self-help, there were still things that were a mystery to me. The coaching intensive allowed me to become aware of things that used to be huge blind spots. Being part of a community of others on a journey to heal from CPTSD has been incredibly valuable. I've gained new awareness that has allowed me to have more peace and confidence in my life and there is more and deeper connection in my relationships. Those close to me have noticed it too. I'm thankful to be on this healing journey and part of the Crappy Childhood Fairy community."

" If you are seeking validation of your experience, wanting to learn how to heal through your trauma and begin accepting real, healthy love from those in your life and for the future - then this program is for you. The Crappy Childhood Fairy community bring trauma informed care and experience to each week's meeting. Everyone is in it together!."

GABBY S.

 

"One of the things that was surprising to me was the camaraderie and the beauty of the different people that are in the group. I wasn't expecting that, and I have just been so blessed and so touched by the friendships, the people that I've met here. The work was a little bit intense, but it was very healing. It helped me dive deeper into my own issues. Anna's handouts and her worksheets were on point. They were just very facilitative of the process of healing...  It was wonderful. Couldn't recommend it enough."
