Background
With a professional background spanning Counselling, Life Coaching, Yoga teacher training, Reiki Master Attunement, Nutritional advisory training, trauma research, and therapeutic education, Novena-Chanel Davies has worked extensively with individuals, families, and professionals to explore how trauma, identity, and systemic influences shape emotional and relational wellbeing.
Her expertise lies in understanding how intergenerational trauma is transmitted through biological, psychological, and social mechanisms, and how structured interventions can support healing and resilience.
​
In 2020, driven by her commitment to culturally competent, anti-oppressive therapeutic practice, she developed IERA-Therapy™ to provide therapists with a scientifically grounded, relationally focused, and trauma-responsive approach. Through ERTAcademy™, she trains and mentors mental health professionals, equipping them with the skills to work effectively with complex trauma, identity struggles, and systemic adversity.
​
Novena-Chanel is also actively involved in research, training, and consultation, supporting organisations and independent researchers in exploring topics related to trauma, race, gender, intergenerational stress, and identity development. Her work is dedicated to bridging the gap between research and therapeutic application, ensuring that trauma-informed practice evolves to meet the needs of diverse communities and marginalised voices.
Through her leadership at ERTAcademy™, Novena-Chanel Davies continues to educate, inspire, and empower professionals and organisations worldwide in their journey towards trauma healing and relational transformation.
