Mindfulness Coaching
What is Relational Mindfulness Coaching?
Relational Mindfulness Coaching is a trauma-informed, holistic approach that brings together somatic awareness, mindfulness, attachment theory, contemplative wisdom, and nervous-system awareness.
Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level tips, this work helps you explore and heal the roots of reactivity — the old survival wiring, patterns of people-pleasing, avoidance, anxiety, or shut-down — so you can build healthier, more grounded relationships.
In our sessions, you’ll learn to tune into your body and inner world, listen to what’s alive under the conflict, and move from a place of calm clarity instead of reactivity.
This is for you if:
You’ve tried traditional therapy, and it didn’t work.
You’ve experienced trauma at any point in your life that’s showing up in your current relationships.
Conflict, triggers, or reactivity keep sabotaging intimacy or closeness.
You tend to shut down or blow up rather than communicate clearly.
You ‘re prone to people-pleasing, avoiding, or suppressing needs, and being resentful.
You want to break old anxious/avoidant cycles and build emotional safety, confidence, and trust inside yourself and with others.
What’s possible
Through this work, clients often report:
The ability to communicate vulnerably and honestly, instead of going into shutdown or explosion.
Deep healing of attachment wounds — letting go of patterns of anxious-avoidant dance, fear of abandonment, or mistrust.
A stronger sense of inner safety, emotional clarity, and grounded presence, even during conflict or stress.
The capacity to set healthy boundaries, without guilt, shame, or people-pleasing.
Renewed self-confidence and emotional resilience, creating space for connection, authenticity, and growth.
The freedom to relate from wholeness, not from fear, reactivity, or old survival tendencies.
Heron is a terrific listener. I feel very skillfully heard, and that’s rare.

How It Works
-
Embodiment & Somatic Awareness
We start by reconnecting with your body, where emotional patterns often live. Through gentle mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based awareness, you learn to sense what’s happening beneath your thoughts and behaviors.
-
Attachment-Focused & Trauma-Informed Exploration
We gently trace the roots of relational pain: childhood or relational wounds, attachment fears, and early conditioning. This compassionate inner work helps release old wiring that keeps replaying in your relationships.
-
Parts Work & Inner Dialogue
Using parts-work (ex. parts that avoid conflict, or parts that people-please), we bring compassion and awareness to inner parts that react unconsciously, encouraging integration, self-care, and clearer inner boundaries.
-
Mindful Communication & Emotional Literacy
With nonviolent communication, mindfulness, and emotional awareness practices, you’ll learn to express truth, needs, and boundaries without triggering reactivity.
-
Neuroscience-Informed Tools & Integration
I draw on nervous-system science and mindfulness-based practices to help you regulate nervous-system responses, stay grounded under pressure, and respond (not react).
-
Embodied Relational Practice
As your self-awareness deepens, you’ll begin to relate differently, with more safety, clarity, authenticity, and grounded presence. Over time, relational patterns shift, bonds soften or deepen, and new ways of relating emerge.
Why Work With Me
I’ve experienced deep pain. I’ve carried complex trauma, anxiety, and the weight of self-doubt. I’ve tried all the coping strategies. When I finally cracked, I learned that real healing starts by making space for everything that’s lived inside.
This journey taught me something powerful: the deepest transformation comes from relationships. So I bring more than credentials. I bring my own scars, my own story. I show up human, open-handed, and deeply committed, because I know what it means to feel unseen, unheard, and unsafe.
If you’re tired of inner work that feels like a quick fix that doesn’t stick. If you long for real, lasting change that comes from grounding in your body, understanding your past, and reclaiming your voice. This is for you.
Here, you’re invited to slow down. To sit with what’s alive inside. To finally listen to your nervous system. To meet your inner parts with compassion instead of shame. And to start to relate to yourself and others from a place of presence, clarity, and trust.
Because this isn’t about perfection. It’s about wholeness.
If you’re ready to move through pain with tenderness, depth, and authenticity and build relationships (with yourself and others) rooted in safety, trust, and integrity, I’m here. I’ll walk beside you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is forward-looking, growth-oriented, and grounded in empowerment. While therapy often focuses on healing past wounds, coaching here builds on that healing — helping you translate inner clarity into real-life relationships, communication, and boundary-setting.
Can mindfulness really help with relational conflicts?
Yes. Mindfulness and somatic awareness can allow a conscious pause between trigger and reaction. With that pause, you can choose a response aligned with your values, rather than falling into habitual reactivity.
How long until I see changes?
It depends. Some notice subtle shifts after a few sessions (more inner calm, clearer boundaries), while deeper relational rewiring can take months. Healing attachment wounds and shifting patterns is a gradual, compassionate journey, and totally worth it.
Do you work with individuals, couples, or both?
I specialize in working with individuals who want to heal relational wounds and transform how they relate. (If you’re a couple and both are open, we can explore what’s possible together.)
