About Me
Hi, I'm Belinda
Like many of my clients, I’ve faced challenges that pushed me to my limits. I became skilled at survival—but I didn’t want that to be the whole story. I wanted something more: a life that felt whole, meaningful, and alive.
I didn’t just want to get by.
I wanted to move forward—with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
​
I Know What It’s Like...
-
To feel stuck, even when you're doing "all the right things"
-
To carry responsibility and still wonder if you’re doing enough
-
To question yourself, your path, or what's actually possible
-
To try one strategy after another without lasting change
-
To feel like you should be able to fix it on your own
You're not alone. And there’s nothing wrong with you.
Most of us were simply never taught the tools that truly work.
​​
​
Your body holds the map to healing—when we learn to listen, everything begins to shift.
My Turning Point
It wasn’t willpower that changed my life—it was perspective.
I realized I was using tools designed for survival, not growth.​
​
The most effective tools are often the ones we weren’t taught: awareness, regulation, relational support, and somatic intelligence.​
​
When applied consistently, they shift not only how we feel, but how we lead, parent, work, and live.
​
A Unique Perspective
My background blends structure and strategy with compassion and curiosity.
I’ve worked as a tax attorney, led nonprofit organizations, raised two daughters as a single mother, and trained extensively in body-based and trauma-informed healing.
I’m an Intermediate Level Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and certified in Somatic Inner Relationship Focusing and Somatic Attachment Therapy, along with advanced training in functional medicine coaching, energy medicine, and trauma-sensitive resilience practices.
This work isn’t just professional for me—it’s personal.
I've lived it, and I bring that experience to every session.​
The Pivot
When my daughter faced a serious health crisis, I left my legal career to be by her side. That experience opened the door to a deeper exploration of what it truly means to support healing—not just physically, but emotionally and systemically.
​
Years later, when my other daughter fell ill with a mysterious condition, I found myself searching again. Eventually, I reached a world-renowned expert. He offered not only expertise, but something equally valuable: steadiness, clarity, and guidance.
​
That support helped save my daughter’s life.
And it reminded me how essential it is to have someone in your corner.
​
In his honor, we created The Catatonia Foundation—a nonprofit that educates, advocates, and supports families facing complex medical and neurological challenges.
​
You were never meant to do this alone. We heal, grow, and thrive in connection.
Why This Work Matters
We’re told we should be able to do it all ourselves.
But real growth doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationship.
​
The most effective leaders, parents, and changemakers all rely on skilled guides—not because they’re weak, but because they’re committed to real, lasting change.
​
A coach isn’t a luxury.
It’s a powerful investment in clarity, confidence, and capacity.
​
I’m here to:
-
Hold space for your challenges without judgment
-
Offer tools that are practical, sustainable, and body-based
-
Help you reconnect with your strength, wisdom, and direction
​
The Work I Offer
As a trauma-informed somatic coach, I guide clients through a process of deep nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and relational healing—so they can:
-
Build lasting resilience
-
Clarify what matters most
-
Navigate stress and complexity with steadiness
-
Lead and live with more presence, purpose, and integrity​
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you reconnect with what’s already working inside you—and build from there.
​Trust Yourself
If you’re exploring coaching, take a moment to check in:​
Do I feel safe and supported here?​
Do I want more clarity, strength, and grounded momentum?​
What is my body or intuition telling me?​
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
You’re not too late.
And you’re not broken.​
Let’s talk.
