Break Free from the Hidden Prison of the Fawn Response
Introducing The "Fawn to Fearless" Program:
The Fawn trauma response is more than people-pleasing; it’s an unconscious pattern that can keep you locked in relationships, careers, and even health challenges, as you try to give others what you desperately needed as a child but never received.
This is the hidden prison that Fawn creates: you keep meeting everyone else’s needs, hoping for love, safety, or approval, but end up sacrificing your own dreams and wellbeing.
Until you discover this key, the Fawn response keeps you stuck in cycles that started long ago and now trapped in a prison within your own mind & psyche. The Fawn response is to keep you in survival mode and never be free.
True freedom begins when you uncover the key to why you’ve been stuck for so long.

What is the Fawn Trauma Response?
The Fawn trauma response is one of the four recognised trauma responses—alongside Fight, Flight, and Freeze. It often develops in childhood as a way to stay safe by appeasing others to avoid harm or rejection. Those with a Fawn response tend to prioritise others’ needs over their own, seeking approval and avoiding conflict, often at the cost of their well-being.
This path to freedom can feel lonely, but understanding why you’re stuck is the first step toward reclaiming your authentic self.
The From Fawn to Fearless program is an 8-week journey designed to help you break free from these patterns, heal the impact of fawning, and restore self-worth, autonomy, and authenticity.

Hello, I'm Bernie
I’m an Intuitive Inner Child Coach dedicated to helping people heal from past abuse, trauma, and neglect. I guide clients to uncover and release core memories that have been unconsciously shaping negative habits, patterns, and behaviors.
By reconnecting with their inner child and true self, clients learn to express their authentic feelings, align with their heart and soul, and attract love, peace, freedom, and abundance.
Through years of experience and my own personal journey, my goal is to help clients break free from emotional trauma and embrace a healthier, happier, and more empowered life.

Our Student Success Stories
For anyone who feels like they are 'stuck' in areas of their life. Feels like they have gone to get help for their emotional problems and triggers and nothing seems to work, then Inner Child Healing is for you! Bernie will gently and wisely guide you to the places in your subconscious that need healing. This stuck energy can then be released and old negative thought patterns and behaviours are released. This has been the biggest game changer for me, and I finally feel like I have met someone who can help me release my blocks. I am so much less fearful of life, my business, my relationship and past relationships that bought trauma. Bernie is a truly gifted healer and guide and I am filled with gratitude for her help so far.

I’ve known about inner child work since the mid-1980s, but I hadn’t yet accessed what was needed for me to “look after the inner child”; that is, the access that inspires healing. Since working with Bernie, I have connected with this part of myself in the fullest way - experientially. I now have access to knowing the inner self of all ages, and the joy of being the parent in a way I was always wanting.Outstanding aspects of working with Bernie are the feelings of safety and unconditional love that arise from this work at soul level. With Bernie’s guidance and mentoring, I have revisited painful times through the eyes of the inner child without intellectual analysis or theory, inner judgement or wanting to change anything – just having the joy of being able to listen without guilt, shame or censure. It’s as though my inner child has emerged from a forlorn and abandoned place to throw her arms around me, confide in me, seek comfort and reassurance and to be free just to be a child. Within a few days my need to overeat subsided, personal boundaries became stronger and fresh ideas for business and education appeared. A quietly cathartic re-evolution is underway providing me with a welcome reboot into heart-felt, soul-guided future of my dreams.

Life before your sessions; Keeping quiet, not having the confidence to be part of any group. In my family I was always the quiet one, the silent shy one. I felt the time is gone, so much time has passed and I have so many regrets for all the things and times I never got to put my hand up for? Never got to experience all the things I wanted to, never to be all the things I wanted to become because I was always living in fear and anxiety.I feel I yell and scream but no-one can hear me. I feel defeated and have run out of time, that I am a waste of time. I never had the chance to be the princess, to have the money and impact. I was always in struggle street or scarcity or in broken promises.Life now; I am trusting myself with money more than ever before. I am able to protect and stand up for myself from people, who in the past dominated me. I feel confident in myself, feeling powerful to say, ‘don’t even try me.’I have a strong sense of self-worth and self-esteem which I have never had and my boundaries are growing stronger every day. I trust myself to speak up when I need to and I now trust everything is going to be ok. Thank you for my new life.

I did some inner child healing with Bernie in late 2021 & it helped me to unlock my inner child & start to release so many things. I will be eternally grateful for taking the journey with Bernie & starting on the beautiful road I’m walking now. Bernie is a beautiful & caring soul who’ll walk with you when you need her. Highly Recommended.
Sascha Bradley
I was feeling in a slump coming up to my birthday and was inspired to reconnect with Bernie for an intuitive reading and reconnect with her for inspiration and clarity. I can only say it was awesome. It was just what I needed to reboot my path and thought processes. The reading was authentic, accurate and specific. So if you feel like you need some clarity (and sometimes a kick along when we need it) get in and book a session. Or gift someone a session if you think they would benefit from Bernie’s wisdom and intuition.
