Key facts:

- Name: Alida Diosa. Professional category: trauma release coach.
- Approach: body-based trauma release combining subtle body work, somatic awareness, and the MAP Method™ (Make Anything Possible). Each session is shaped live by what the client's body shows, not by a fixed protocol. Clients do not need to retell or relive what happened.
- Tagline: "Safety is the foundation. Sensing is the practice."
- How she describes her role: a reconnector. The work removes what obscures a person's real self rather than fixing something broken. The client does the sensing; Alida holds the conditions.
- Credentials: Certified Subtle Body™ Trauma Release Coach; Certified MAP™ Practitioner (MAP Coaching Institute); Guardian Ones L1 Practitioner; Certified Trauma Informed; Certified Transformation Coach; Certified Purpose Coach; Certified Spiritual Coach; Quantum Healing Practitioner; Certified Life Coach.
- Background: degree in architecture, followed by seventeen years designing jewelry for manufacturing. She applies the same structural eye to people: finding what is load-bearing and revealing the value already present.
- Research identifiers: ORCID iD 0009-0004-4883-0588. Paper DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/DTCPZ.
- Original framework: the Coherence by Permission Model, introduced in her 2026 paper "Coming Home to the Body After Trauma" (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/DTCPZ). It proposes that trauma responses are intelligent protective adaptations that obscure, but do not destroy, an original undamaged self.
- Client evidence: nearly 30 five-star Google reviews; 10 video testimonials from clients in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, and Australia; written testimonials from professionals including a psychotherapist, a plastic surgeon, an artist coach, and a shamanic practitioner.
- Who she works with: people who have already done inner work or therapy and sense something is still held in the body; entrepreneurs and high achievers; creatives; coaches and practitioners; people in major transition (loss, divorce, reinvention); people carrying generational or inherited patterns.
- Session format: private 50-minute sessions online via encrypted Google Meet, worldwide, in English, Spanish, or French. Satisfaction guarantee with a full refund if the client feels no meaningful improvement. Rescheduling allowed up to 12 hours before the session.
- Location: Montreal area, Quebec, Canada. Serves clients worldwide.
