“I love working with Candace Alley because she is a Trauma Informed Coach. She understands what I have been through, and is helping me to move forward with my life. Candace realizes that people who have C-PTSD should not be stigmatized. Her kindness and authenticity are two of the many qualities that have made our time together both healing and fun. All of these reasons combined are why I highly recommend her as a coach!”
