Turning Trauma Into Transformation

Alysha Kravetz’s story begins not in a boardroom or on a stage, but in a hospital bed—fighting for her life. At the age of 23, she experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that left her in a medically induced coma. Doctors weren’t sure she would survive. But Alysha did more than survive—she came back determined to make her story matter. From trauma and tragedy emerged a purpose that would change the lives of countless women.

Today, she is the founder of Empowered with Alysha, a health and wellness brand that helps women heal through trauma, rewrite their identity, and reconnect with their bodies. She serves as a Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner, and her work focuses on restoring balance in the nervous system, especially for women with invisible disabilities.

A New Relationship with Her Body

After her TBI, Alysha had to relearn how to function physically, emotionally, and mentally. She began to understand that trauma lives in the body—not just in the mind. That understanding shaped her personal healing and later, her professional path. She pursued certifications in trauma-informed somatic practices and began developing a body of work that focused on the intersection of trauma, nervous system regulation, and feminine energy.

Her signature approach is deeply rooted in embodiment. “We store trauma in our tissues,” she says. “If we don’t address it somatically, we stay stuck—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.”

Empowered with Alysha: A Movement, Not Just a Brand

Empowered with Alysha is more than a coaching service—it’s a community. Alysha’s programs, courses, and workshops help women process pain, unlock stored emotions, and move into personal empowerment. Her work is especially impactful for women navigating chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, and trauma stored from emotionally abusive relationships.

She creates safe spaces for women to explore self-trust, sensuality, and stillness—areas often disrupted after trauma. Her goal is to help women reconnect with their intuition and rewrite the stories they’ve inherited from survival.

Rewriting the Nervous System, Reclaiming the Self

One of Alysha’s signature methodologies involves identifying nervous system patterns like fawning, freezing, and hypervigilance. Many of her clients don’t realize they’re living in a survival response. Through her somatic coaching, she teaches tools for self-regulation, awareness, and safety. “When a woman begins to feel safe in her body again, she opens up to everything—pleasure, power, peace,” she explains.

Her sessions include breathwork, embodiment exercises, and trauma-informed language that empowers rather than retraumatizes.

Rest Is Radical

Alysha is a vocal advocate for rest as a form of resistance and restoration. In a culture that glamorizes hustle, especially for women entrepreneurs, she teaches the opposite. “Rest is sacred. It’s when we restore, receive, and realign,” she says.

She encourages women to schedule rest into their lives—not as a reward, but as a necessity. Her belief is simple: women cannot thrive while stuck in burnout.

A Voice for the Unseen

Living with an invisible disability has shaped Alysha’s mission. “People don’t always understand what they can’t see,” she says. Whether it's chronic fatigue, neurodivergence, or PTSD, she knows the stigma and misunderstanding that can come with silent struggles.

Her work gives language and healing tools to those experiences. Through group coaching, Instagram content, and one-on-one mentorship, she is helping women feel validated, witnessed, and whole.

Leading from Lived Experience

Alysha’s leadership style is vulnerable, honest, and empowering. She doesn’t hide behind credentials or perfection. She shares her story openly—her diagnosis, her dark days, and her healing journey. That authenticity has attracted women from all over the world who see themselves in her.

Her work is especially transformative for women who have been in emotionally abusive relationships. She helps them rebuild identity, relearn boundaries, and find their voice again.

Building a New Paradigm

In five years, Alysha envisions expanding Empowered with Alysha into a trauma-informed certification program for coaches and healers. She wants to shift the wellness industry to be more accessible, inclusive, and centered on true nervous system healing—not just surface-level performance.

She also hopes to open a retreat center focused on somatic healing, rest, and feminine restoration—a place where women can come home to themselves.

Advice to Women on the Healing Path

To women healing from trauma, Alysha offers this:

“You are not broken. You are not weak. You are rewiring systems that were built for survival. Your healing is valid, even if others don’t understand it.”

She reminds women that their bodies are wise, their emotions are messengers, and their rest is productive. Her work is a call back to self—rooted in regulation, resilience, and remembrance.
