About Me

About ME

It's an honor to share a little about me, my journey, my passions and mission.

My Practice

I’m privileged to share my journey, rooted in health and wellness. Over time, I’ve developed a transformative practice that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. My focus is guiding diverse individuals to craft purposeful, creative, and more effortless lives. The numerous success stories speak to the powerful impact of personalized guidance and tailored coaching.

Since 2007, I’ve coached and facilitated over a thousand clients on their paths to optimal well-being. Rooted in a profound understanding of the whole person, complemented by diverse training, I thrive in empathetically connecting with individuals. My life’s calling is to contribute to the transformation of lives by prioritizing inward attention and fostering a connection to one’s source.

My approach revolves around heart and soul-centered holistic nursing care and coaching, emphasizing both Well-Being (present state) and Well-Becoming (the process of self-actualization). [Link to blog]. I see myself as a catalyst, jumpstarting a lifelong journey of awakening from within.

What sets my practice apart is my role as a “bridge” between the known and unknown, seamlessly integrating physical science with the ethereal Soul. Drawing from a dynamic and unique background, along with a philosophy rooted in holistic and mindfulness-based living, I offer a rich toolkit and a safe container for individuals to explore their potential.

My diverse approaches encompass mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects, tailored to inspire individuals to elevate their lives. I create a compassionate space for clients to unwrap their layers, heal, and challenge limiting beliefs. With a track record of success, I combine personal growth experiences with a customized mind-body-spirit toolkit to meet clients where they are, initiating their journey of self-discovery and conscious evolution.

As your compassionate guide, my aim is to illuminate the light within you, enabling you to see it in yourself and actualize your life dreams.

My Story

My journey began in a family of priestesses, healers, nurses, doctors, and teachers. My passion to understand people of all cultures, religions and histories of our humanity lead me initially on a pursuit of anthropology and archaeology at UC Berkeley, I catapulted into the world of law, business development and investor relationships for biofuel companies feeling the fears of finances, student debt and the pressures of society. Throughout “Spirit” kept calling. After a few unfulfilling years I was guided to return back to my familial roots as an intuitive healer. A transformative path – working as a massage therapist, hypnotherapist, and coach. Here, I honed the nuances of my intuitive and empathic skills.

Driven by an intrinsic desire to understand health and the human body at a deeper level, I pursued further education to become a nurse and Adult Nurse Practitioner at UCSF, specializing in integrative mind-body care and primary care. Seeking more depth, I gained mental health clinical experience, providing intake, assessments and med management in psychiatric mental health supporting psychiatrists and collaborating with psychologists and MFTs in outpatient clinics in the Bay Area and tele-psych.

It was in psychiatric nursing that I continued to get the calling “return to spirit” and it underscored the need for holistic and integrative models of well-being alongside traditional models of care. Rather than just treating, I began to see deep inner healing – sovereignty as a critical element of gold-standard care. A mind-body-spirit practice has allowed me to support and teach many in awakening to their inner guidance, their inner joy, play, higher consciousness and to remember who we are at the core and our connection to the universe at large.

My commitment to continuous learning and additional certifications led colleagues to encourage me to establish my own practice centered on mind-body-spirit integration, healing, and coaching. And now, after nearly 2 decades of teaching and learning from clients within my own practice, I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your path to well-being.

With love, Abigail
