Ina Camille Briggs (She|Her), is a Trauma-Informed Psychologist, and Certified Life Coach, who invites her collaborators to politicize themselves and join her in healing through a justice and liberation lens. Drawing on the intelligence of the body, spiritual wisdom, and collective stories of perseverance, she offers a culturally responsive approach to life coaching.

Ina has taken the courageous journey to rebuild her life after overcoming multiple setbacks, and carries many keen lessons into her coaching practice. As a racialized, Black, cis woman, she continues the work of unlearning and healing the effects of marginalization, and multigenerational trauma. The exploration of her own lived experiences alongside her educational background and training, primes her to support individuals with overcoming limiting beliefs that may stem from:

• complex trauma

• neurodiversity

• racism (casteism) and discrimination

• domestic abuse

• adverse childhood experiences

• substance use

• toxic workplaces

• grief and heartbreak

• single parenthood and divorce

Her life’s journey is one of the story of resilience, and the reclamation of joy. She believes much of her purpose is to be a catalyst of the movement for spiritual evolution and change.

As an advocate for collective liberation, Ina attributes her activist spirit to 17 years as a teacher, and educational leader, fighting for high quality, equitable experiences for African American and historically marginalized students within the Education Industrial Complex — and as a native of the highly segregated South Side of Chicago.

ina loudly proclaims, “our liberation is bound together!”
