somatics-based coaching
healing for creative souls and inspired seekers
"To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear."

you are meant to be here.
you are meant to shine.
This space is for those who have felt ashamed to truly be themselves. This space is for the souls that find it hard to exist in the word as it is, who don’t know where or how they fit in. This space is for those who aren’t sure they will be safe if they step into authenticity, who are afraid to be seen for who they are.
I know how you feel. I felt that way for many years, and I know how overwhelming and intense it can be to finally admit your needs, step into authenticity and build a life that to others looks unconventional. I know how scary - and how thrilling - it is to build a life on one’s true gifts, and become aligned to those soul-deep dreams.
I speak specifically to those who have lived in the shadow of their own spirit, who had to hide themselves away for such a long time that they forgot who they were. I speak to those who lost touch with their own fiery soul, with the song of their innermost dreams and needs and desires, and who are finding it once again.
I speak specifically to artists of life, to people who yearn to live in joy, ease and prosperity but who wrestle with the burdens of doubt, shame and disbelief (in themselves and the world).
To all of you who are sometimes scared, even as you’re ready to light up the world in your special way. To everyone who thought they weren’t enough, who were told they couldn’t trust themselves. To you, who was told that you had to fit into a certain regime in order to survive and be validated, and wondered why it felt so hard....
This space is for us. This space is where we dissolve that shame, where we re-learn how to light the soul’s torch and carry it with pride and clarity.
Do you have a dream that you are deeply devoted to, but struggling to align with?
Do you sometimes doubt that you are worthy of all that you want?
My coaching involves a body-mind healing process designed to bring you into stronger connection with yourself, your creative abilities and your specific natural gifts. With a connected and trusting relationship with the self, and an undeniable acceptance of what we are good at, we can be endlessly powerful.
Sessions are slow and lengthy so that we have time to make real, lasting change and healing at a foundational, embodied level. The process of healing is one that requires patience, space and time. It cannot be rushed, and yet sometimes huge shifts can happen in the span of an hour.
Through a process of un-shaming the deepest wounding, and the shadowy aspects within, a new version of self emerges that is more whole, more compassionate, more confident. A spirit that is unshakeable.
Our time together will help you strengthen conviction and take grounded, authentic action toward your dreams.
This space is dedicated to creatives ready to meet themselves with compassion and honesty, and live a more fulfilling life.
This space is open to those ready to receive deeply attuned guidance and healing as they align with and build their dreams into reality

Unlike mindset-focused coaching, The Hearth’s approach is somatic and trauma-informed. By attuning to your deeply felt truth, we uncover profound insights that lead to lasting transformation.
Sessions blend mind-body attunement and verbal dialogue. We balance therapeutic work with external planning and structural support, so you feel truly held on your path to success.
You’ll never be pushed, rushed, or forced into strategies that don’t feel right. Instead, we build self-trust, clarify values, and allow breakthroughs to unfold naturally.
Whether you need clarity on your path, support through creative blocks, or a safe, confidential space for healing, coaching with Gillian offers a deeply nourishing experience. No matter what, you’ll walk away with a clearer sense of who you are, what you want, and the next steps to bring your vision to life.

let’s cultivate the garden of your creative unfolding, together…
To truly bloom, you need a safe place to root. You need the support of your environment to help you grow into all that you can be. Mind-body coaching with Gillian is here to be the good soil, the supportive environment, that will ground you and nourish you so you can feel free.
Through our work together, we will participate in building a world that allows us all to thrive. We will liberate our creative spirits by healing the wounds that keep us from our full expression. We will unashamedly begin living in alignment with our desires.
The foundation of an authentic, fulfilling life is built at the innermost levels of the soul. But sometimes life can be so challenging, confusing and disheartening, that we can’t seem to access those soul-deep (and infinite) resources of trust, confidence and inner knowing that we need to make our dreams a reality.
When we’re stuck in survival mode, or burdened with expectations or limiting beliefs we’ve adopted (perhaps unconsciously) from the world around us, we may struggle to make aligned decisions, hear our intuition, and trust ourselves fully. My coaching process helps to build a sense of inner safety so that you feel supported and well-resourced within as you build your beautiful dreams and do all the amazing - but sometimes scary! - stuff that a creative life encourages us to do. Together, we will gently illuminate the parts of you that feel afraid, ashamed, or disconnected, and recover confidence, deepen self-trust and build inner security, because a strong foundation creates the best conditions for prosperity and long-term happiness.
If you’re a creative feeling blocked, overwhelmed, or afraid to take action on your dreams, you’re not alone. Fear, self-doubt, and old patterns can keep you from fully expressing your gifts. But these obstacles don’t define you—they are simply invitations to deeper healing and clarity.
Through gentle yet transformative investigation, we’ll pinpoint the inner resistance holding you back and resolve it at the root level, so you can move forward with confidence, creativity, and a sense of grounded freedom.
You don’t have to walk this path alone.
in each moment, we begin again. may your moments always be devoted to living in alignment with what is deeply right for you.

FAQs
What is your experience doing this kind of work?
I come to this work with a depth of personal and professional experience. Aside from multiple trainings and certifications in somatics and trauma-informed therapy, I have a lifetime of experience accumulating and then healing from my own complex trauma, as well as being a self-taught artist and starting a personal business from scratch. I will be undergoing a year-long training for coaches in the un-shaming approach by Dr. David Bedrick, as well as an IFS certified trauma-informed coach training in 2025-2026. I have benefitted personally from the approaches that I apply in my coaching framework, and continue to revisit them regularly for my own healing. I care deeply about the responsibility I hold as a provider of safe space, and as a guide for you while you do profound healing work, and I do not take that role lightly. I am consistently revisiting my trainings, and undergoing further workshops so that I can keep my skills fresh and relevant. I am not, however, a degree-holding psychotherapist, and if that is important to you then I would recommend working with someone else <3
Can we incorporate tarot into this work?
I do believe that tarot is a powerful tool for transformation and healing, however I am careful how I apply it in the coaching setting. If you would like to incorporate tarot into our sessions, it will be at the end of our session to cap off the work we did together with extra clarity for you to take into your day. We will not use it as a guide for, or in place of, the coaching/healing process.
I can’t afford to work with you 1:1 right now, is there another more accessible way to benefit from this work?
Yes, I have multiple offerings that are free or very low cost. Firstly, my Youtube channel where there are dozens of free healings and tarot readings for you to peruse according to what your intuition calls you toward. You can also sign up for my newsletter / Substack so you can get insights and readings straight to your email inbox. I also have personal tarot readings available at a more accessible price, available for purchase on my website.
