Client Spotlight
Sarah G. - Physician
I began working with Abigail after an exhaustive search for someone whose philosophy and range of modalities truly resonated with me. What stood out immediately was her ability to truly listen and respond thoughtfully rather than react. Over time, the emotional charge around several difficult experiences gradually softened, unhealthy patterns that once weighed heavily on me began to lift, and I felt myself becoming more balanced, grounded, and whole.
Catherine G. - Fund Manager, San Francisco
I turned to Abigail during an especially difficult time, and what sets her apart is her empathy, presence, and ability to truly connect. I have worked with many professionals over the years, and too often I was left feeling as though I was expected to find my own way while already overwhelmed and lost. Abigail is different. She is engaged, deeply attentive, and actively supportive in a way that helped me feel more clear, grounded, and cared for.
Katie K. - Med-Tech Writer & Founder, San Francisco & New York
I credit Abigail with guiding me through one of the most challenging years of my life while also helping me grow into more of my potential. Her blend of knowledge, wisdom, and compassion is extraordinary. Together we worked on healing trauma, communication, boundaries, family dynamics, relationships, and long- and short-term goals, and I saw meaningful improvement in every area of my life.
Toby Barnes - Physician / Psychiatrist
As a psychiatrist for over 40 years, I would be hard-pressed to find a more caring and competent professional than Abigail Bruce. I have known her work for years and have consistently been struck by her integrity, commitment, and depth of care. I recommend her without reservation.
A. - Psychiatric Mental Health RN, San Francisco
I came to Abigail at a very low point after feeling as though I had exhausted other options. The wisdom and depth she brings to this work helped me begin to release years of hurt and resentment and move toward a life that feels more peaceful, grounded, and free. I can honestly say she played a pivotal role in helping me get to the happiest and most at ease I have ever been.
Adam - Tech, San Francisco
I had lived with a persistent phobia for most of my life. After just one session with Abigail, I was able to begin facing that fear in a new way and continue building on that progress myself. What stayed with me most was not only the breakthrough, but the way she helped me move from shame into self-trust, celebration, and real momentum.
Roy - Professional Musician, San Francisco
In just a handful of coaching and hypnotherapy sessions, Abigail helped me make more progress than I had made in years. The anxiety and fear that had held me back began to loosen, and I felt more freedom, confidence, and trust in myself. Her work created real movement for me.
Shennon O’Donnell - Business Owner, Sonoma
Toward the end of my pregnancy, I was experiencing a great deal of anxiety around the unknown. Abigail guided me through a hypnobirth session that was truly perspective-shifting. She recorded the session, and both my husband and I returned to it again and again during the birth process. It brought a deep sense of calm, grounding, and peace to an experience that had previously felt overwhelming.
Leila Preys - Nursing, South Bay
I have worked with Abigail for over two years, and the difference our sessions have made in my life is difficult to overstate. She helped me move from struggling with confidence, identity, depression, anxiety, and disordered eating toward feeling stronger, more empowered, and more connected to myself. Her work reaches beneath surface symptoms and addresses life at the level of root cause, spirit, and the whole person.
Collin Buchan – Technology Executive
I've worked with Abigail on and off for nearly ten years, and she has helped me navigate relationships, family, work, and life's many transitions. She listens deeply, reflects back what I often can't yet see myself, and always leaves me with practical tools I can carry into everyday life. Over the years, those small shifts have added up to greater confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience. What keeps me coming back is knowing someone is genuinely in my corner, no matter what life brings.

Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and unwavering support have made a tremendous difference in my life, and I'm grateful to have her in my corner.
Zoe Strominger - Nurse Practitioner, San Francisco
Abigail created an incredible bridal circle ceremony for me and my closest girlfriends on the morning of my wedding. She brought such care, beauty, and presence to the experience, weaving in the elements, the directions, chimes, sage, and deeply resonant words. Even those who were skeptical at first found themselves genuinely moved by the depth and meaningfulness of what she created.
Maureen – Business Professional
I began working with Abigail during one of the most stressful seasons of my life while preparing for surgery and facing significant health challenges. Her clinical background and integrative approach helped me feel supported both physically and emotionally. Through hypnosis and coaching, I discovered a calmness and inner strength I didn't know I had. I continue to use the tools she taught me and highly recommend her to anyone navigating health challenges or major life transitions.
