Verna Haywood (Wholistic Wellness Coach & Massage Therapist)
suite 1, Portland DT5 2NT
# Business Description
Verna Haywood operates as a trauma-informed Wholistic Wellness Coach and Massage Therapist in Portland, offering integrated support for women 30+ recovering from trauma, abuse, or illness. With over 30 years' experience in the wellness field and personal lived experience of surviving breast cancer and domestic abuse, Verna combines coaching, therapeutic massage, aromatherapy, and spiritual guidance to help clients move beyond mere survival towards genuine healing and resilience.
The practice centres on three core pillars: Reflect, Revitalise, and Renew. Verna guides clients through releasing self-sabotaging patterns, restoring emotional clarity, and reclaiming their strength, energy, and joy. Her trauma-informed approach recognises that healing happens across mind, body, spirit, and soul — addressing both psychological and somatic dimensions of recovery.
What sets Verna apart is her integrated methodology. Rather than compartmentalising wellness, she weaves together one-to-one coaching sessions, hands-on healing massage work, structured courses and retreats, and her podcast to create comprehensive transformation pathways. Her SoulFood Connection initiative further distinguishes her practice by combining faith, ritual, and nourishment as forms of healing and resilience-building.
Verna serves women seeking safe, seen, and held spaces to process trauma and rebuild confidence. Her offerings extend beyond individual sessions to community-based learning through courses, retreats, and digital content, making transformative support accessible through multiple modalities.
