LIFE COACHING

Welcome! As a holistic emotional coach  based in Grass Valley, California, I'm dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey of personal growth and transformation. With both in-person and online sessions available, I create accessible space for healing and development, wherever you are.

​

My approach draws from extensive training in the Satya Method—an integrative approach to emotional coaching that combines Presence, Language, Body Awareness, Developing Listening, and Cultivating Compassion. Through this method, I guide clients toward inner freedom, heightened self-awareness, and the full expression of their strengths. I treat childhood traumas and their influence on today's life, helping clients understand and transform these deep-rooted patterns. Together, we bridge the gap between desires and reality, getting precise about how you want to live your life, who you want to be, and what you want to happen.

​

Building on my foundation in occupational therapy and movement therapy from Haifa University, I provide compassionate guidance through life's transitions and challenges. My toolkit includes the Satya Method, emotional-somatic therapy, yoga, Bach flower remedies, Reiki, and psychological astrology—all working together to support your personal growth journey.

​

A cornerstone of my practice is the Clearway session - a specialized 90-minute preparation session designed for significant events. These focused sessions help you:

​

- Process emotions and expectations around upcoming events

- Identify and work through internal barriers

- Develop confidence and practical coping strategies

- Approach important moments with greater clarity and calm

 

Whether you're preparing for birth, a career milestone, or other significant event,  my Clearway sessions provide the emotional tools and support needed to move forward with confidence.

 

I specialize in:

- Emotional regulation and mastery in challenging situations

- Processing and releasing difficult emotions, including fear and anger

- Birth preparation and support

- Life transition guidance

- Building stronger family relationships

- Finding balance between personal and professional life

 

As a mother of three and someone who has navigated significant life changes, including international relocation, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my practice. My approach emphasizes the importance of "relationships before results," and I create a safe, nurturing space for personal transformation.

 

Services I offer at The Nest:

- On going Individual coaching sessions (in-person and online)

- Clearway conversations for important events (online) 

- Birth preparation and support (one-time Clearway or a Coaching process) 

- Astrological consultations for deeper self-understanding
