Caroline Haley-Bell, a single mother of three, has completely transformed her life after experiencing narcissistic coercive domestic violence and post-separation abuse, including sexual assault. These traumatic events led her to lose trust in herself and become completely dissociative as a coping mechanism. She also endured manipulated reactive abuse, a catatonic freeze response, and trauma-related amnesia. She was later dismissed from her job as a London bus driver, a position she held for nearly two decades. During her career, she helped over two million people travel from ‘A to B’, while also enduring numerous accidents, incidents, and abuse. Caroline’s healing journey—from domestic violence and the vicarious trauma of serving in the transport industry—led her to seek coaching from the School of Trauma-Informed Positive Psychology under Caroline Strawson. She also worked with Brainspotting practitioner Gemma Learmonth to uncover the root of her broken self-trust. Her £4,000 investment in herself led to a divorce ruling 85% in her favour and full custody of her children. Now re-trained as a Brainspotting practitioner and Trauma-Informed Positive Psychology coach (ICF and CPD accreditation pending), she supports people recovering from accidents, incidents, addictions, and domestic violence, with a special focus on narcissistic abuse. Caroline also hosts a monthly Brainspotting Peer Review Group. As CEO of CRE8 Healthy Choices Ltd and the empowered leader of her own life, Caroline is now a landlord under the rent-a-room scheme and owns a holiday home in Florida. Her passion for property stems from the asset poverty she experienced as a child and the homelessness she witnessed and encountered during her years as a bus driver. In June 2024, she sponsored the Blue Bricks Property Magazine inaugural property awards to raise awareness of domestic violence and homelessness among landlords. Caroline is also an EIS investor in Next-Gen Nano Thin-Film Bio Organic Solar and is negotiating the development of a solar aquaponics farm in Corby, England. Her passion for future technology and sustainability has also led her to partner with Sustainable Times for high-net-worth investing. She is affiliated with Sensate by BioSelf Technology Ltd, a sensory device that helps tone the vagus nerve to aid trauma recovery and promote relaxation. Additionally, she is developing her own Somatic Sounds app for “on-the-go self-healing with a mindset advantage!” A published poet and former real-life model, Caroline’s 2025 goal is to create an anthology for the charity EVEDA.org.uk, to give back for the support and shelter they provided to her and her three children in 2023. She also plans to launch her brand franchise with the Mental Well-Being Company to deliver first-class training to the public service sector. Additional Information What Caroline enjoys most about working with clients virtually via Zoom using Brainspotting and Trauma-Informed Positive Psychology coaching is the ability for clients to receive support from the comfort of their own homes, without the stress of travel. Her deep, experiential understanding of the fear response enables her to deliver non-judgmental, compassionate sessions. Brainspotting is a visceral, embodied emotional experience that helps complete the processing cycle. This laser-focused modality uses eye positioning and attuned presence to facilitate rapid and effective change. You can work with Caroline one-to-one with Brainspotting in single sessions (ideal for ad-hoc post-reprocessing), blocks of three sessions (ideal for initial processing), or blocks of six sessions (ideal for complex trauma recovery). “Where we look affects how we feel” — are you ready to heal? Currently, Caroline is working intensively with clients in her TIPP coaching program and is not accepting new clients in that area, but you are welcome to express your interest and join her waiting list. You can also join her free weekly poetry writing sessions on Mondays and contribute to the charity anthology for Eve.

Julia began her career as a professional singer in the 1980s, balancing her passion for music with a corporate job until redundancy in 2000 became a turning point. When her 18-month-old son’s health deteriorated despite months of pharmaceutical treatment, Julia sought alternative methods outside mainstream medicine. Within three days, his condition improved dramatically, inspiring her to explore holistic approaches to health. This also led her to address her own challenges with persistent voice problems, mood instability, and depression. What Julia discovered was life-changing: the key to transformation was healing limiting beliefs and releasing trauma stored in the physical, mental, and emotional body. Her recovery from childhood abuse became a deeply spiritual path she continues to this day. In 2003, Julia became a certified Past Age Clearing and Healing Practitioner, and in 2006, she founded her first Singing & Healing School. By combining affirmations with mantras in individual and group sessions, she developed a formula that has helped thousands overcome addiction, depression, and anxiety, while realigning with their purpose, reclaiming joy, and living more authentic lives. Maddy Monacelli, Julia’s daughter, joined her in 2016, bringing unique talents to the work. A gifted singer, Maddy overcame perfectionism to unleash a voice of crystalline clarity that resonates deeply, opening hearts and inspiring healing. Influenced by metaphysics, spirituality, and past-life healing, she is committed to growth and transformation. Certified as a Past Age Clearing and Healing Practitioner in 2023, Maddy is a Holistic Voice Coach in the Sing to Thrive Healing Hub, an online school for voice activation and deep healing. Maddy also runs a successful singing business, helping students of all ages build vocal skills and confidence. She performs with professional music bands in the Byron Shire. Together, Julia and Maddy have created a science-backed methodology using music, singing, and sound to activate positive neuroplasticity and foster holistic transformation across emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual realms. Their work enhances brain health, joy, resilience, and authentic expression. Through the Sing to Thrive Healing Hub, in-person events, and worldwide retreats, they are building a global community dedicated to connection and transformation. Their original music inspires positive change and is central to their healing work. Their mission is to empower individuals to use their voice as an instrument for healing and growth, creating a ripple effect of change within communities and across the planet.

This also led her to address her own challenges with persistent voice problems, mood instability, and depression. What Julia discovered was life-changing: the key to transformation was healing limiting beliefs and releasing trauma stored in the physical, mental, and emotional body. Her recovery from childhood abuse became a deeply spiritual path she continues to this day. In 2003, Julia became a certified Past Age Clearing and Healing Practitioner, and in 2006, she founded her first Singing & Healing School. By combining affirmations with mantras in individual and group sessions, she developed a formula that has helped thousands overcome addiction, depression, and anxiety, while realigning with their purpose, reclaiming joy, and living more authentic lives. Maddy Monacelli, Julia’s daughter, joined her in 2016, bringing unique talents to the work. A gifted singer, Maddy overcame perfectionism to unleash a voice of crystalline clarity that resonates deeply, opening hearts and inspiring healing. Influenced by metaphysics, spirituality, and past-life healing, she is committed to growth and transformation. Certified as a Past Age Clearing and Healing Practitioner in 2023, Maddy is a Holistic Voice Coach in the Sing to Thrive Healing Hub, an online school for voice activation and deep healing. Maddy also runs a successful singing business, helping students of all ages build vocal skills and confidence. She performs with professional music bands in the Byron Shire. Together, Julia and Maddy have created a science-backed methodology using music, singing, and sound to activate positive neuroplasticity and foster holistic transformation across emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual realms. Their work enhances brain health, joy, resilience, and authentic expression. Through the Sing to Thrive Healing Hub, in-person events, and worldwide retreats, they are building a global community dedicated to connection and transformation. Their original music inspires positive change and is central to their healing work. Their mission is to empower individuals to use their voice as an instrument for healing and growth, creating a ripple effect of change within communities and across the planet.
