✨ WELCOME HOME ✨
Come as you are.
There is room for your story here
Welcome, Ladies!
Every woman needs friends who become sisters
I am pictured here with my seven best friends who have walked beside me for over three decades.. I cannot imagine my life without them.
We have carried one another and celebrated together through joys and sorrows, heartbreaks and victories..
It is my hope and prayer that the Invisible Hurts Community will serve as fertile ground where this kind of sisterhood among women can grow and flourish.
About Judee Southern, Founder
Life Coach, Author, Speaker, Event Planner
Meet Judee Southern
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about helping people (with a special heart for 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.
No two stories are exactly alike…
No two women have walked the same road, yet every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and reminded that she does not have to walk her journey alone.
Whether you’re searching for hope, healing, practical guidance, or simply someone who understands, we hope you’ll find a place to begin right here.

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.
