My background in somatic counseling and coaching:
I offer 1-1 somatic counseling sessions, 1-1 somatic and integrative coaching packages for entrepreneurs and occasional group programs and workshops. In 1-1 sessions I use mostly Somatic Experiencing, a modality of trauma-resolution in the nervous system developed by Dr. Peter Levine, Co-Active Coaching, a whole person forward looking coaching modality developed by Karen and Henry Kimsey-House, and Process Work, a Jungian inspired modality developed by the wonderful Arnie Mindell. I also draw from my own life experience of healing my own childhood wounds, melting my deeply ingrained freeze response, my yoga and meditation practices and my most importantly my journey as a mother and wife.
While I believe Somatic Experiencing, and expanding the capacity of your nervous system is the most deeply transformative system to radically improve the quality of your life, health, money, work, and relationships, you name it, I draw on all three modalities to serve the unique needs of each client and help them meet their goals and desires.
My mission!
I believe you CAN transform yourself and your life. AND I believe you CAN live the life you are dreaming of. You can THRIVE, feel connected, joyful, in flow with the universe and create incredible amazing things in your life and business. I believe you can fulfill the mission that your heart is whispering to you. I believe organic manifestation works and it’s an incredible tool you can use to evolve yourself and attract what you want into your life.
I believe empaths, creatives, and introverted entrepreneurs like you have the most amazing delicious gifts to share and with the right support you can shine so so brightly.
My Own Story
Oh my, I have always been a healer, a creative and an empath. These are natural skills for me and they make up my most poignant childhood memories. It’s always been the core of my path to serve those around me, and I did even as a child! But before I did it for my career, I had to follow a few other dreams before I circled back to my core skills. Mostly, I had to express myself as a creative, which I did for over 15 years as a floral designer and business owner in the SF wedding industry. I also had to heal my broken heart and my deep disconnection with myself born of a childhood where my creative sensitive nature wasn’t supported at all - actually it was squashed and stomped on.
Years and years of therapies, transformational practices, yoga, meditation and working with the incredibly healing and high vibration of flowers, touching them and communing with them all day every day healed the broken parts of me and imbued me with deep wisdoms. I released my grief, and said yes to myself. I learned to be joyful, present, to hold boundaries and manifest experiences to me vs. frantically chasing them. I married a wonderful man and had an incredible wedding.
When I was pregnant with my first child six years ago, I had an epiphany that it was time to share what I had learned and offer my presence, compassion, and guidance I’d earned through walking the path myself, and pass it along to others. I did an intensive coaching training, but truly I already has the skills because I’d lived it. And that was how Blossom Coaching came to be.
My Experience
Until I was around 26, I lived in a dark, unfriendly universe. it was after 9/11, when my anxiety was so unbelievably high and it was impossible for me to form a romantic relationship I started therapy. The first session was so incredibly enlightening and it fed my introspective spiritually oriented being. I was hooked, I’ve worked on-going with several different deeply skilled healers for over 15 years. A few years into my transformational work, I started practicing manifestation. It brought hope to areas that felt sooo stuck, at that time, it was finding love.
Since then I’ve:
- healed my life and live (mostly) in a joyful relaxed way with my husband and two children!
- become a certified Co-active Coach via The Coaches Training Institute
- studied and practiced yoga like it was my life line
- Practiced vipassana meditation and sat multiple multiple-day silent retreat
- Studied Process Oriented Psychology, via The Process Work Institute for five years.
- Ran a successful creative business in the San Francisco Bay Area Wedding industry, Erica Rose Design, and learned so much about the practical side of running a business.
- Developed my own methodology of manifestation based on what I’ve learned and what I see in nature. It’s called Organic Manifestation.
- Become a mother to two fabulous children and together we are learning about a truly playful childhood, respectful parenting and the Waldorf style of education.
But enough about me, this is really all about you! I’d love to hear from you!
