Transformational Life Coaching + Certified Hypnotherapy | San Francisco and Marin County
Change is afoot. Stress may be creeping in. Work-life balance may feel out of balance. Harmony is needed. And somewhere inside, you may feel the quiet call to fine-tune your authentic self.
These are often threshold moments — the liminal passages, transitions, and changes that ask us to pause, listen, realign, and become more fully ourselves.
As a double board certified holistic and integrative nurse practitioner, certified hypnotherapist, and certified transformational life coach, I offer integrated coaching and mind-body support for people in Marin County, Sausalito, and San Francisco who are navigating life transitions, stress, burnout, relationship shifts, spiritual reconnection, and the longing for more joy, clarity, harmony, and self-trust.
Sessions are available virtually, with in-person sessions in Sausalito and Marin County. Walking and nature-based coaching sessions are also available for those who feel supported by movement, fresh air, trees, ocean, and the wisdom of the natural world.
My work is not about forcing positivity or pretending life is simple. It is about creating a safe, compassionate space to understand what is shifting, reconnect with your values, soften old blocks, listen to your body and intuition, and begin moving forward from a deeper, steadier, more authentic place.
“Life’s most meaningful growth often begins in the threshold moments — the liminal passages, transitions, and changes that ask us to become more fully ourselves. You deserve a safe, compassionate space to navigate them. We are connected. The terrain has a name.”

Transformational Life Coaching for Real Life
Transformational life coaching is more than goal-setting.
Yes, we may work with goals, habits, decisions, relationships, career direction, wellness, confidence, accountability, and next steps. But deeper coaching also asks:
Who are you becoming?
What matters now?
What is no longer aligned?
What is your life trying to show you?
Where are you being invited back into truth, joy, faith, and self-trust?
In coaching, we may explore your values, self-identity, inner blocks, motivations, patterns, intuition, faith, nervous system, relationships, and sense of purpose.
This work can be especially supportive when you are navigating career change, burnout, relationship transitions, grief, identity shifts, stress, work-life imbalance, spiritual awakening, health challenges, or the quiet inner knowing that your life is asking for something more.
Research on coaching suggests that coaching can support wellbeing, coping, performance, work attitudes, and goal-directed self-regulation. Positive psychology research also supports intentional practices that cultivate wellbeing, meaning, gratitude, strengths, and positive emotion.
Certified Hypnotherapy Woven Into Coaching
Hypnotherapy is not separate from the coaching work I offer. It is often woven into the coaching package as part of a deeper mind-body process.
When appropriate, hypnotherapy can help solidify vision, create clarity, soften inner resistance, access subconscious patterns, and support new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.
In practical terms, hypnotherapy can support you in clarifying what you truly want, strengthening an inner vision, releasing old blocks and limiting beliefs, rehearsing new choices from the inside out, calming the nervous system, deepening self-trust, and creating new mental and emotional pathways.
The brain changes through repetition, attention, emotion, imagery, and experience. In coaching language, this means we are not only talking about change — we are helping your mind and body begin to experience the new direction as possible.
Recent hypnosis research suggests hypnosis can positively affect some mental and physical outcomes, and neuroimaging research shows hypnosis is associated with measurable changes in brain activity and functional connectivity.
This is where coaching becomes more than insight.
It becomes embodied practice.
Life Transition Coaching, Joy Coaching & Happiness Coaching
Life transitions can be disorienting, even when they are beautiful.
A new chapter, relationship change, move, career leap, empty nest, healing season, spiritual opening, or major life decision can ask you to become someone new while you are still learning how to stand on unfamiliar ground.
Life transition coaching offers a compassionate space to pause, listen, reflect, and make meaning.
Joy and happiness coaching are also part of this work — not in a forced or superficial way, but as a return to vitality, meaning, beauty, gratitude, play, purpose, and connection.
Joy is not denial.
Joy is reconnection.
Positive psychology research has found that positive psychology interventions can enhance subjective wellbeing and psychological wellbeing, and may also help reduce depressive symptoms.
This does not mean we bypass pain, grief, uncertainty, or complexity. It means we learn how to hold the whole of life with more skill: the hard and the holy, the tender and the hopeful, the human and the sacred.
Spiritual Mentorship, Faith-Based Coaching & Reconnection With God
For many people, growth is not only emotional or practical. It is spiritual.
My approach to spiritual mentorship is faith-honoring, intuitive, and non-denominational. You are welcome whether you are deeply connected to God, returning to faith, questioning, healing from old religious wounds, or seeking a more personal relationship with the Divine.
This work may support you in reconnecting with God, Source, inner wisdom, intuition, prayer, trust, devotion, nature, and the quiet knowing within you.
Faith-based coaching may include listening for inner guidance, strengthening intuition and discernment, healing fear or shame around spirituality, clarifying what feels true and aligned, and finding meaning in the passage you are living.
The intention is not to tell you what to believe.
It is to help you reconnect with what is most true, loving, wise, and alive within you.
Mind-Body Tools for Blocks, Motivation & Authentic Alignment
Sometimes we know what we want, but something inside still feels stuck.
There may be old beliefs, nervous system patterns, emotional blocks, unconscious loyalties, fear of visibility, fear of change, perfectionism, people-pleasing, grief, shame, or a deep habit of overriding your own needs.
That is why this work may weave together coaching with hypnotherapy, guided visualization, EFT tapping, NLP-informed tools, positive psychology, values work, nervous system support, and intuitive reflection.
Together, these tools can help you understand what is blocking you, reconnect with motivation, clarify your authentic self, and build a more aligned relationship with your body, mind, spirit, and life.
This is not about becoming someone else.
It is about becoming more fully yourself.
Nature-Based Coaching in Marin County
For clients who feel most open and alive outdoors, walking and nature-based sessions are available in Marin County.
Sometimes clarity comes more naturally when the body is moving. Sometimes the nervous system softens near trees, ocean, sky, and open space. Sometimes walking side by side allows something honest to emerge that might not arise in the same way indoors.
Nature-based coaching can be especially supportive for stress, transition, grief, burnout, spiritual reconnection, creativity, and the desire to feel grounded in the body again.
Marin County offers a beautiful living landscape for this kind of work — a place where healing, reflection, movement, and the natural world can meet.
In-Person Sessions in Sausalito and Marin County
I offer virtual coaching for clients in San Francisco, Marin County, and beyond, along with in-person sessions in Sausalito and Marin County.
For San Francisco clients, Sausalito and Marin can offer a beautiful nearby setting for deeper in-person work, especially for those drawn to nature, water, movement, and a more spacious environment.
Whether we meet virtually, in person, or outdoors, the heart of the work remains the same: a grounded, compassionate space for transformation, clarity, spiritual reconnection, and authentic growth.
A Safe Space for the Passage You Are In
If change is afoot, if stress is creeping in, if work-life balance feels out of balance, or if you feel called to fine-tune your authentic self, you do not have to navigate the passage alone.
Certified hypnotherapy and transformational life coaching can help you clarify your vision, reconnect with your values, release old blocks, strengthen self-trust, and move toward a life that feels more peaceful, joyful, honest, and aligned.
You deserve a safe, compassionate space to navigate change.
We are connected.
The terrain has a name.
With love,
Abigail
