Our Story
I’m Shalynne Barr, a Trauma-Informed Coach (in-training) and founder of Shalynne Barr Integrated Creations, LLC and Bright Start Coaching— a space where healing, creativity, and purpose meet.
For much of my life, creativity was my refuge. Over time, I realized I wasn’t just seeking expression — I was seeking restoration. That realization now fuels my work: helping others find a gentle path back to themselves.
The Work I Do
My Approach
My coaching blends trauma-informed principles with holistic well-being. I believe every person carries a natural rhythm — a way of being that feels safe, confident, and whole.
Together, we:
• Recognize the patterns that keep you feeling stuck
• Reconnect with your inner wisdom and sense of safety
• Rebuild trust with yourself so you can create, relate, and live from wholeness
I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in creating space — safe space to unfold. Healing isn’t linear or loud; it’s gentle, deeply human, and profoundly freeing.
As I continue my trauma-informed coaching certification, my practice is expanding to support:
• Women navigating major life transitions or “second-act” seasons
• Individuals processing burnout, creative fatigue, or emotional overwhelm
• Anyone ready to explore how unhealed experiences shape their patterns — and to rewrite those stories with grace
Each conversation is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that your worth has never been in question.
Through my coaching brand, Bright Start Coaching, and my creative branch, Bright Start Studios, my mission is to help people heal deeply, create freely, and live fully.
Whether it’s through a coaching session, a reflective journal, or a handmade aromatherapy blend that encourages mindfulness, every part of my work supports emotional wellness and self-re-connection.
