Holistic Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Integrative Mind Body Care & Guidance

Life Rarely Moves In Straight Lines. Rather, It Bends, Deepens, And Finds Its Way.

There are moments when something begins to shift, in relationships, work, health, identity, family, or the direction your life is heading. Sometimes these changes arrive quietly. Sometimes they come through heartbreak, uncertainty, illness, endings, or a growing sense that something no longer feels quite right. Abigail Bruce offers integrative life coaching, relationship coaching, hypnotherapy, and holistic wellbeing support to help you explore these changes, reconnect with what matters, and consider what comes next.

These moments can feel tender, disorienting, and deeply human. They can also invite us to pause, reflect, listen more closely, and meet what is unfolding with greater honesty and care.

My work supports people through meaningful transitions, healing and personal growth with holistic life coaching, hypnotherapy, and integrative guidance that is tailored, relational, and grounded in who you are. I also work with those seeking greater confidence, self-trust, clarity, healthier relationships, purpose, joy, and harmony in how they live.

Abigail’s Approach

My approach is psycho-spiritual and whole-person — grounded in the understanding that this work looks different for every person. For some, it brings structure, clarity, and new habits. For others, it is about softening, flowing, and learning to simply be. We all want more joy, harmony, and vitality in life. Often it is all — strengthening and lightening, evolving and settling, reframing what was heavy and deepening what was always true. Sessions are holistic and tailored to what you are actually moving through. There is no fixed destination, only a genuine and supported unfolding.

My work is informed by nearly two decades of experience across psychiatric nursing, mental health care, integrative and holistic nursing, coaching, and mind-body practices. As an Integrative and Holistic Nurse Practitioner, I bring a clinical foundation to my work while drawing on coaching, hypnotherapy, and intuitive exploration to support personal growth, self-understanding, and wellbeing. Each approach serves a different purpose, and our work together is shaped around your needs, values, and goals.


Its an honor to guide people in their own awakening and joy through having the life you want by being present to the life you have.

Coaching, Guidance & Integrative Support

At the heart of this work is integrative life coaching and hypnotherapy, woven with tools that support the whole person. Sessions may include intuitive guidance, mindset and belief-pattern work, and strengths-based support for navigating life transitions, separation, relationships, and meaningful personal growth.

Together, we work to strengthen your inner compass, develop practical tools for personal growth, deepen self-awareness, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate resilience that supports you beyond our time together.

Somatic & Energy Practices

The body can offer another way to explore awareness, stress, and emotional experience. Abigail's somatic and complementary energy practices draw on breathwork, embodied awareness, and other individualized approaches to support relaxation, self-awareness, and a deeper sense of connection.

  • Subtle energy work, including energy clearing, detachment and shielding practices, Reiki, and vibrational sound healing.

  • Working with Abigail’s team of master healers

  • Collaborative sessions involving Abigail's team of master healers.

  • Breathwork and somato-emotional release within craniosacral stillpoint practice. This is not massage therapy.

  • Infrared Biomat® therapy, available for select in-person sessions.

Integrative & Holistic Mental Health

For individuals seeking an integrated approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health, Abigail offers integrative psychiatric nursing care informed by collaboration and consultation with a physician or psychiatrist she has worked with since 2015. This is a separate clinical intake from coaching services. Care is guided by each person's needs, with consultation or referral to other professionals when appropriate.

  • Collaborative care with physicians, psychiatrists, therapists, and other healthcare professionals

  • Medication education and wellness coaching including functional labs and consultation when appropriate

  • Whole-person care supporting emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing

  • Referrals to trusted specialists whenever additional support is beneficial

  • While I do not take insurance, I can ocassionally on case by case basis offer a superbill.

  • I contract with companies to provide both executive and wellness coaching to support a client to help provide thoughtful, coordinated care whenever it benefits the client.

Hypnotherapy, Meditation & Guided Visualization

Hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool that augments the integrated coaching and care I offer. I became a certified hypnotherapist in 2007 after experiencing spiritual hypnotherapy myself while working through grief after my mother died. The experience was so transformative that I chose to train in the work.

Since then, I have used hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis, guided visualization and meditation with thousands of people in individual sessions, groups and retreats. This is not stage hypnosis. It is gentle, safe and often feels similar to the deep calm of meditation.

Hypnotherapy can support stress and worry reduction, confidence, fears and phobias, new habits, smoking cessation, preparation for surgery or medical procedures, cognitive reframing, trauma healing, hypnobirthing, and deeper spiritual or consciousness work. Personalized audio recordings are often created for continued practice between sessions.

Hypnotherapy is not a quick fix or a treatment. It is one thread within a deeper, integrated process and can sometimes help access patterns, beliefs and inner resources that conversation alone may not easily reach.

The people who benefit most tend to be open, curious and willing to engage actively in their own healing and growth.

What to Expect

Sessions are primarily offered remotely, allowing Abigail Bruce to work with clients throughout California and beyond. In-person appointments may be available at confirmed office locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nature-based coaching sessions can also be arranged in outdoor settings throughout Marin County, including West Marin, Bolinas, Stinson Beach, and Point Reyes.

Each session is tailored to your needs, priorities, and circumstances. Depending on your goals, sessions may draw on coaching, hypnotherapy, EFT tapping, NLP, mindfulness, meditation, intuitive guidance, and other integrative practices. People seek support during life transitions, relationship changes, periods of stress or grief, career shifts, personal growth, and other times of change. Integrative psychiatric nursing care and medication management are separate clinical services provided in collaboration with a physician or psychiatrist, as appropriate.

Session Lengths and Frequency

Individual sessions are typically 50 or 70 minutes. Shorter check-ins and longer sessions may be available for couples or family work. Session frequency is flexible and can be shaped around your needs, from more regular support during significant transitions to less frequent sessions as circumstances change.

For a more immersive experience, Abigail also offers nature-based Deep Dive sessions in Marin County and surrounding areas. These experiences may combine mindful walking, coaching, reflection, somatic practices, guided visualization, and time in nature. They offer an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and explore what matters in a peaceful outdoor setting. Deep Dive sessions complement ongoing coaching rather than replace the value of continued support over time.
