About Judee Southern, Founder
Life Coach, Author, Speaker, Brainspotting Specialist, Event Planner
Meet Judee Southern
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about helping women discover their incredible worth and find hope in life’s most difficult seasons.
That calling has taken many forms throughout my life. I hold a graduate degree from Simmons University in Communication and Spanish, homeschooled my five children, founded and directed a classical ballet school, and established a private education center and high school in New Hampshire.
Today, I serve as a Life Coach,
Brainspotting Specialist, and
Support Group Facilitator.
But Invisible Hurts wasn’t born from my résumé.
It was born from my own journey through betrayal, abuse, incomparable loss, and the long road of healing.
I know what it feels like to carry wounds that others cannot see. I also know the incredible power of being truly seen, deeply understood, and gently reminded that hope is still possible.
That is why I created Invisible Hurts.
I plan beautiful one-day retreats where women can step away from the noise of everyday life, find genuine connection, acquire practical tools for healing, and leave knowing they are not alone.
Through our growing Invisible Hurts community, my hope is that every woman has a safe place to continue her healing journey long after the retreat is over.
Whether your story includes faith, doubts, or simply a longing to heal, you are welcome here.
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in safe places, with compassionate people, one step at a time.
I am so happy you landed on this site… I hope and pray that you find something or several fellow travelers who can make your path just a little bit easier.
Whether I have the honor of walking beside you as Life Coach or Brainspotting specialist, you join a Support Group, or attend a workshop and join the Invisible Hurts community, you will not journey alone.
I am pictured below with my best friends…
We have carried one another and celebrated together through joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and victories..
I don’t know that I would have survived my own journey through abuse, betrayal, parenting, navigating medical crises, abandonment, and more without these friends who are my closest circle and most loyal community.
It is my hope and prayer that the Invisible Hurts Community will serve as fertile ground where such a sisterhood among women can grow and flourish.

Helping you build a life full of hope, purpose, and joy
Building a life beyond the pain
Life coaching is a supportive partnership that helps you gain clarity, overcome obstacles, set meaningful goals, and create lasting change. Together, we’ll focus on practical steps that move you from surviving to thriving—building a future filled with confidence, purpose, and hope.
Address trauma at the route
“Where you look affects how you feel” ~ David Grand
Brainspotting helps the brain process unresolved trauma stored deep within the nervous system. Unlike talk therapy alone, it often reaches places words cannot. Many clients experience greater calm, emotional relief, and renewed hope as healing unfolds.
