Get to Know Rena

Hi, I’m Rena Shoshana: educator, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and certified health & wellness coach with 13 years of international experience.

I work with individuals and high-performing teams around the world to build resilience, reduce stress, and thrive at work and in life.

My work is both professional and deeply personal. 

After transforming my own PTSD into what I call Post Traumatic Growth Order (PTGO - a term I made up), I felt called to implement the tools that worked for me, that I’m certified to teach so that people like you can also move from stress to sustainable growth. 

Everything I teach is grounded in both science and lived experience. I only share what I practice myself and feel free to call me out if you see otherwise.

I’m the founder of three programs.

Wellness Edge

Through targeted workshops and tailored programs, I support high-performing teams in high-stress, high-impact environments in reducing burnout, improving focus, and creating healthier, calmer, and more productive workplace cultures.

I blend ancient wisdom with modern science to ensure you lead with clarity, move with purpose, and build habits that actually feel good—and last.
