ACTIVATION BREATHWORK CERTIFICATION
3-month certification in somatic medicine, energy, and breath work
through a TRAUMA-INFORMED, scientific, somatic, spiritual lens
WELCOME
I’ve been supporting clients for twenty years. They usually come to me with a personal, professional, or spiritual challenge, or a combination of them and the approach is the same - using everything as an opportunity to heal, grow, and expand. These are not a spiritual platitudes or bypasses. But if you aren’t really ready to do the work, it might feel or seem that way.
I blend a Masters in Spiritual Psychology from University of Santa Monica for the past 20 years, Certifications in Professional and Life Coaching through ICF for the past 17 years, Breathwork through David Elliott for the past 9 years, Reiki Master for the past 8 years, Quantum Human Design through Karen Curry Parker for the past 5 years, Somatic and Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner from The Four Winds for the past 3 years, Safe and Sound Protocol through PolyVagal Institute for 1 year.
WHO AM I? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?
At the core of when clients reach out and inquire about working together are these questions. Who am I? What is my purpose? How do I live in that purpose each day. Typically what causes us to ask these questions are pivotal moments or experiences in our lives where we realize there’s something more…
Maybe you are experiencing personal challenges… You are working so much that you are overwhelmed and burned out. Maybe your work defines you and you are not sure who you are without work. You hear the concept of self-love but don’t understand what it really means or how that feels. Maybe you’d spent time creating external success that you haven’t had the time to call in a relationship and family or true joy. Maybe you are ready to melt the wall around your heart.
Or you are experiencing professional challenges… Maybe you are stressed, overwhelmed and pretending that you are okay. Maybe you are living on auto pilot, high functioning dysregulation, cortisol and adrenal fatigue. Maybe you have success but lack fulfillment. Maybe you are caught in a cycle of never having enough, feeling enough, or debt. Maybe you don’t know how to set boundaries with work, people pleasing, saying no. Maybe you feel like you cannot fully be yourself at work. Maybe you’re ready to come out of the spiritual closet in an industry where you don’t know how you will be received. Maybe you want to make a transition into another career or start your own business or find ways to have a more enjoyable experience at work.
Or you could be experiencing spiritual challenges…Maybe you are empathic, highly sensitive, intuitive but don’t feel like you understand these aspects of yourself, how to set boundaries, let go of what is not yours, or how to fully embrace these gifts. Maybe you are longing for a deeper spiritual connection with something greater than you. Maybe you want to learn how to let go of control and surrender. Maybe you keep experiencing success in one area of your life and long for success in another.
Either way, there is something deep down inside of you that knows it’s time to make a change. You might feel uncertain because you don’t know where to start, who to work with, what the process will entail, who or what resides on the other side. My containers are a welcoming space for all people, gender identities, backgrounds, cultures, races and religions. While it might sound cliche, I value the scientific and somatic, practical and spiritual, tangible and intangible, because we are divine beings having human experiences.

“I knew I needed support to clear blocks and achieve my goals but I didn’t know where to find what I was looking for. I knew it wasn’t traditional therapy or coaching. When I discovered Gwen on social media I knew her approach was exactly what I was looking for. Gwen’s work helped me heal my past, be authentically me, and embrace my life as an opportunity. I feel peace and have tools to support myself regardless of what is happening. I continue to work with Gwen because of the impact it has on my life.”
“I know that all the work we did together through coaching, somatic healing, breathing and embodiment helped bring me more into my body and allowed me to have the trust in myself. I feel confident and peaceful being a physician, parenting three children, and renovating a new dream home with my husband that we purchased, all as part of my coaching goals. I am grateful for you Gwen.”
“My partner and I were referred to Gwen for couple’s coaching and we are both so glad we made the investment in six-months of coaching. Although our initial work with Gwen was to work on our relationship as a couple, the coaching and healing turned into so much more - professional goals and finances, parenting and co-parenting, relationship and sexuality, self and life, love and spiritual purpose. My goal as a financial advisor was to help clients determine what’s important to them and build the roadmap to get there, as well as create a legacy. Working with Gwen has helped me with purpose and communication, and creating my own legacy. We learned how to use our challenges as gifts. I highly recommend working with Gwen!”
