Helping you take action when you know you’re meant for more
Working as a Registered Nurse in a psychiatric hospital felt like living the same day over and over again. Give meds. Help patients eat, bathe, and use the bathroom. Make sure they didn’t fall or hurt themselves. Repeat.
What weighed on me wasn’t just the routine… it was the lack of real change. Day after day, we relied almost entirely on medication, yet many patients didn’t truly get better. And if they did, they were often back in the hospital not long after being discharged.
While medications are absolutely necessary for people with severe mental illness or those in crisis, I had a deep knowing that something was missing. It felt like we were treating symptoms, not addressing what was actually driving anxiety, depression, and emotional suffering.
It got to a point that this voice inside me became louder and louder… and finally couldn’t shut up. I had to leave and find another way to help people.
Through my own struggles with self-doubt and emotional overwhelm, I discovered life coaching. For the first time, I truly understood how thoughts and emotions shape our behaviors and our lives.
In 2020, I left nursing to become a Certified Life Coach — not because nursing failed me, but because I wanted to support people in a deeper way: helping them change patterns from the inside out, not just manage symptoms.
We tell ourselves what we want, but the body resists.
I then spent several years coaching people around emotional eating, weight loss, and sugar cravings. While the mindset work helped many clients lose weight initially, I began noticing a pattern: the results didn’t last. Despite all the thought work we did together, many clients gained the weight back.
That’s when something clicked. It wasn’t a lack of discipline or mindset. My clients didn’t know how to be with their uncomfortable emotions.
It wasn’t a mindset issue. It was a body issue.
I began to understand the power of the nervous system. When the body is under high stress, the rational part of the brain goes offline in favor of survival. And when that happens, no amount of positive thinking can override it.
This is what happens when we set goals or try to change our habits. We tell ourselves what we want, but the body resists. Fear, doubt, anxiety, and overwhelm rise to the surface. And without tools to regulate those sensations, we either self-sabotage… or stop pursuing our goals altogether.
This is where Somatic Life Coaching comes in
Whenever you make a change in your life (like quitting your current job to do something more fulfilling, getting a snatched body, or increasing your spirituality), the nervous system’s job is to maintain homeostasis and keep you safe. That is why starting a workout program, going on a diet, or waking up at 5am can literally trigger feelings of irritation, frustration, laziness, or indecision… Because your nervous system is fighting to keep you the same.
Somatic Life Coaching helps you make the changes you want in your life by teaching you how to allow and accept your body’s cues and uncomfortable sensations, regulate your nervous system, and then change your mindset, core beliefs, and habits.
