My name is Gail Stucker, and I’m a trauma-informed story coach and facilitator.  Having completed all levels of Narrative Focused Trauma Care offered by The Allender Center, I count it an incredible honor to work with individuals and groups to tend to the debris of their stories with an eye towards healing and revealing who they are uniquely called to be in the world.  My journey to today has also involved work as a mechanical engineer, a campus minister, and a homeschool mom to four incredible humans.  I live in Utah with my husband of 30 years. 

Throughout my formative years, I dreamed of setting the world right as a detective but thought that dream died during college.  When I began training with The Allender Center, I didn’t think I had much of a story and sincerely believed I didn’t do emotions.  But through the kind, fierce, and wise care of those who walked before and beside me, I found out otherwise.  Now my original detective dream has been reborn in the context of story coaching.  I am honored to be a guide and companion to those who want to explore and make sense of heartache, trauma, confusion, and doubt in their stories.  I hold safe space and curiosity for those I work with to uncover a truer version of their stories – and a more coherent interpretation of their lives — with hope for healing, freedom, and redemption.
