Abigail Bruce brings the foundation of a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner and UCSF graduate to this work, along with training as a certified holistic life coach and hypnotherapist. At the same time, this work is heart-centered, intuitive and tailored to meet you where you are. This is whole-person coaching and holistic care. Meaningful change comes through presence, commitment and applied learning. Abigail facilitates the process, but you are the agent of your own change. You must have an open mind and heart, or at least want to. There are practices and ways of seeing that can help us create more joy, reconnect with our inner strength, and move toward greater alignment. Sometimes we need accountability, sometimes we need a mirror, sometimes we need professional support and having someone in our court. Life is not always smooth but we can envision, craft, build, and create harmony. Abigail is certified life coach, master intuitive healer, and certified hypnotherapist, past life regression hypnotist, meditation teacher, athlete, nature-guide, and has been leading, teaching and working with people professionally since 2007.

How I Work

This work is relational, intuitive, and deeply tailored. Rather than placing you into a single method or framework, I draw from holistic life coaching, hypnotherapy, somatic and mind-body practices, meditation, integrative mental health, and grounded spiritual guidance. Clients learn to center and meditate in ways that work for them, and through the coaching process, clients can develop greater intuition, self-trust, confidence, calm and harmony amid challenge and pressure. All of it is woven together in alignment with who you are and what you are currently moving through.

While this work often supports people through life transitions such as uncertainty, heartbreak, illness, separation, or change, it is not focused on struggle alone. It is equally devoted to rebirth, growth, expansion, reconnection, and a new, values-driven identity, supporting you in stepping into a more meaningful, joyful, and aligned life.

‘‘Abigail helped me step back and see my life with more clarity and perspective than I had been able to access on my own. Through a blend of conversation, guided inner work, and practical tools, I felt more grounded, more confident in my decisions, and less caught in self-doubt. There was a sense of being supported without judgment, while also being gently guided toward what was true.”

Life Path & Transitions Coaching, Healing & Hypnotherapy

Sometimes change is chosen. Sometimes it chooses us. Either way, thoughtful support can help you understand what is ending, what is beginning, and what you want to create next.

Thoughtful support through life's most meaningful transitions, including:

  • Career reinvention or meaningful work

  • Major life decisions and uncertain next steps

  • Identity shifts and changing roles

  • Grief, endings, and new beginnings of all kinds

  • Navigating separation and major relationship transitions

  • Questions of meaning, purpose, and values

  • Feeling that something in your life no longer feels aligned

Mind-Body-Spirit Wellbeing & Holistic Coaching

Well-being is shaped by more than symptoms alone. Stress, emotional exhaustion, fertility journeys, changing life circumstances, new and serious diagnoses, chronic illness, terminal illness, and care-giving can all affect how grounded, resourced, and connected you feel within yourself.

I offer tailored, integrative support for:

  • Navigating complex health realities with greater steadiness and self-trust

  • Making sense of illness, stress, uncertainty, or change without losing yourself within it

  • Supporting loved ones and caregivers through advocacy, anticipatory grief, and evolving roles

  • Strengthening nervous system regulation, resilience, and inner steadiness

  • Deepening self-care, mind-body awareness, and compassionate adjustment

  • Reconnecting with body, spirit, meaning, and the parts of life that still feel alive
