Meet Nancy Madden

Nancy Madden, the founder of Resilient Minds Coaching, is a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach and a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist with over 22 years of experience in the medical field. Her journey into trauma-informed coaching is deeply rooted in her own experiences of overcoming childhood trauma, surviving narcissistic abuse, and navigating the grief of losing her 24-year-old son.

As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, Nancy understands the deep emotional wounds and complex dynamics that keep individuals trapped in cycles of pain and self-doubt. Her personal experience has fueled her passion to guide others toward healing and reclaiming their sense of self. With compassion and expertise, Nancy empowers clients to rebuild their lives, strengthen their boundaries, and rediscover their inner resilience.

Nancy’s commitment to healing extends beyond her personal experiences. The challenges of her childhood shaped how she parented her own children, creating a profound understanding of the generational cycles of trauma and the importance of breaking free from them. Her healing journey gave her the tools to not only process her own pain but also support others as they navigate the complexities of trauma recovery.

Through Resilient Minds Coaching, Nancy creates safe, trauma-informed spaces where clients can explore their emotions, understand their nervous systems, and build resilience. Her integrative approach combines her medical background with advanced training in ICF/CPD Accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experience Informed practices, providing clients with practical tools to heal on both emotional and physical levels.

In partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, Nancy supports individuals, families, and organizations in becoming trauma-informed, helping them foster environments of growth and understanding. Her work is not just professional but deeply personal—a reflection of her unwavering commitment to helping others heal, thrive, and break free from cycles of trauma.

Nancy holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and has mentored high school students, new graduates, and seasoned professionals, blending her expertise in healthcare with her passion for mental health advocacy. Her story of resilience and transformation inspires others to embark on their own healing journeys, offering hope that a life of connection, peace, and strength is possible.
