Connecting People to Themselves and Others
Hello Good People
“I have come to learn, understand, and offer educated empathy to humans.”
I am Cheryl Denise Baker—a trauma-informed coach, facilitator, end-of-life doula, and wounded healer. My work reflects the complexity of life’s roles and transitions, drawing on my own healing journey to support others with compassion and purpose.
I empower individuals and communities to explore identity, shift perspectives, and reclaim their true selves through coaching, group facilitation, and trauma-informed practices. I also support those moving through the twists and turns of their grief journey, loss and end of life transitions offering presence, grace and compassion along the way.
At every stage, my purpose is to help others connect with their inner values, embrace their power, and live authentically and intentionally.
Kindly reach out to me here for my bio and photo for your specific event.
