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 simply in the direction your life is heading. Sometimes these movements arrive quietly. Sometimes they come through heartbreak, uncertainty, illness, endings, or a growing sense that something no longer feels quite right.

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. 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.

I am an Integrative and Holistic Nurse Practitioner, master coach, counselor, healer, hypnotherapist, and intuitive guide, with nearly two decades of experience spanning psychiatric nursing, mental health care, advanced practice holistic nursing, psycho-spiritual healing, motivational interviewing, behavioral change, leadership and executive coaching, life purpose and empowerment, and mind-body-soul wellbeing. That foundation shapes how I listen, what I notice, and how I hold the full complexity of what you bring.

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 healing tools, deepen your intuition, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate lasting resilience that continues well beyond our time together.

  • Support for life transitions, relationships, career empowerment, self-esteem, confidence, reinvention, and self-discovery.

  • Guided meditation, visualization, and inner resourcing

  • Collaborative mental health support when appropriate

Somatic & Energy Practices

The body holds what the mind sometimes cannot access alone. These practices support nervous system regulation, emotional regulation, stress management, and deeper embodied awareness — working beneath the surface to restore calm, clarity, and connection.

  • Subtle energy clearing, detachment, and shielding/protection, reiki, and vibrational sound healing

  • Working with Abigail’s team of master healers

  • Breathwork with somato-emotional release in craniosacral stillpoint *this is not massage therapy

  • Infrared Biomat® therapy for select in-person sessions

Integrative & Holistic Mental Health

For individuals seeking a more integrated approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health, I offer holistic, whole-person support under the collaborative and consultation of an MD/Psychiatrist that I have worked with since 2015. This integrative psychiatric nursing care is a separate intake. This collaborative approach honours each person's unique needs while supporting lasting wellbeing.

  • 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

My work is primarily remote through secure Zoom or phone sessions, allowing me to support clients throughout California and beyond. Select in-person sessions are available in Marin County and San Francisco. Many clients like to meet first in-person then switch to the convenience of live video or phone

Each session is unhurried, responsive, and shaped around what is most needed in the moment. Depending on what feels most supportive, our work may draw from coaching, hypnotherapy, EFT tapping, NLP, mindfulness, meditation, intuitive guidance and counsel, spiritual support, and other integrative modalities. People come navigating life transitions, separation, relationship changes, new diagnoses, grief, career shifts, and moments of deep personal becoming — as well as times of growth, expansion, and conscious change. Integrative mental health and medication management are provided in collaboration with an MD/Psychiatrist, as appropriate.

Durations For Your Need

Individual sessions are typically 50 or 70 minutes, with shorter check-ins and longer sessions available for couples or family work. Session frequency is flexible — some people meet more regularly (weekly) during a significant transition, others prefer every other week (most common), and many shift to monthly or seasonal sessions over time.

For those seeking a more immersive experience, I also offer 70 minute- half-day Deep Dive sessions by arrangement in nature throughout Marin County. These personalized experiences combine mindfulness walking in nature, coaching, reflection, somatic practices, guided visualization, and holistic wellbeing in peaceful natural settings designed to support meaningful reset, clarity, healing, and personal transformation. *These in-person deep dives does not replace the importance of one-on-one regular coaching that we do to integrate with continuity over time.
