“The Reflex Isn’t You — It’s Training.”
You don’t need another pep talk or someone telling you to “just stop being difficult.”
You need the actual moves to stop the reflex when it fires.
This isn’t theory.
It’s a tactical file built for one thing:
Stopping the fight reflex in the moment, before it costs you.
Again.
“Working with Charlie has been nothing short of transformational. She is one of the most dynamic individuals I’ve ever met. Each chapter of her own life seems to have added a new dimension to the wisdom and presence she brings to her coaching.
One of the things that really set her apart is the originality of her framework. She’s created a coaching method built around animal archetypes that mirror our fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses. Instead of just talking about these patterns, she gives you practical, real-time tools to recognize and shift them on the spot—the kind of guidance that sticks because it’s embodied, not theoretical.”

- You know you’re capable — but instinct hijacks your timing when it matters most.
- You keep trying to stay composed, yet your body moves faster than reason.
- You’re done apologizing for intensity, sensitivity, or hesitation — you just want control that actually holds.
This is for you if:
