Evelyn Fielding is a survivor and Minnesota-certified sexual assault advocate who is passionate about coaching survivors and secondary survivors to healing and health. During her time as a crisis advocate, she worked with clients of a variety of ages and gender expressions, always meeting each person’s needs with deep empathy and kindness.
She has a special place in her heart for fellow advocates and non-profit advocacy agencies. Unless front-line people take care of themselves fully, those in crisis don’t receive the very best care when they are most vulnerable.
Coaching Services for Survivors and Secondary Survivors
Hourly one-to-one coaching. Short-term and problem-specific, sessions aim to bring closure and healing. We meet via phone or video, or locally in-person. Contact us to learn more
Survivor and secondary survivor pair coaching. When both people in a pair are highly motivated toward growth, amazing healing can happen. The pair can be spouses/partners, parent and adult child, good friends, coworkers, and so on. Contact us to learn more
Small group coaching (3-8 people). Small groups provide a unique bonding experience for all participants. Walk through a structured group together online or locally in-person. Wait list available. Contact us to learn more
Survivor Side Hustle coaching. Many survivors find traditional jobs challenging, or re-prioritize their lives after an assault. Potential entrepreneurs should possess a definite set of skills, and can form their businesses for success by working through emotional blocks before they start. Contact us to learn more
Coaching Services for Advocates and Agencies
Self-Care for Advocates. Bubble baths and walks in the park don’t cut it for crisis advocates. Individual and small group consultations available via video or locally in person, with self-accountability built into the sessions. Contact us to learn more
Advocacy Skill Sharpening. Whether new to the field or a long-timer in crisis work, advocates must keep their skills sharp so they always bring their best. Consult via video or locally in person. Contact us to learn more
Mindset Training for agency leaders. Advocacy agencies know that survivors have trouble healing if they hold onto unhealthy attitudes. Do you already know some of the major problems within your agency and have tried to fix them? Perhaps there’s an underlying mindset or attitude that’s preventing organizational growth.

Confidentiality Statement
Plain language: Evelyn Fielding of Beyond Brave is a coach and advocate, not counselor, psychologist/psychiatrist etc. I do not keep detailed records on paper, electronically, or by any other means. When working with survivors and secondary survivors, I make appropriate referrals to law enforcement, court systems and advocacy agencies.
When working with advocacy agencies and non-profits, I pledge to follow the confidentiality policies of the agency. I do not need to know specific details of cases, survivors, offenders and staff in order to conduct trainings and workshops.
Some of the work I do is in public spaces such as Facebook, Zoom or in-person groups. I create safe spaces and also operate under the reality that disclosure of details is not always appropriate.
I do not work with offenders/perpetrators, even if they are survivors or secondary survivors themselves. There are more appropriate ways to receive counseling, and I make referrals as needed.
I am a mandated reporter under Minnesota law and must comply with those laws. This includes disclosure of violence against children and credible mentions of violence against one’s self or others.
Private, one-to-one conversations via phone or video are the very best way to preserve confidentiality.
