My Coaching Journey
I've worked in Healthcare Marketing for several years, serving patients and healthcare providers. A few years ago, I looked into coach training for my business because therapy alone wasn't enough to help me overcome my childhood domestic violence experiences and gender and racial trauma. What started as a personal journey became a decision to become a professional coach myself.
Higher Vibes Coaching serves various socioeconomic groups, but we focus on those often overlooked in the coaching industry—which falls under the DEI umbrella. We also provide continuing education training through ICF NYC on neurodiversity and trauma-aware coaching. My marketing practice is Brand Dharma.
My Unique Lens
Business Leadership: With over 15 years of experience in behavior change and coaching, I’ve got the tools to support various clients. My background in marketing also gives me a unique insight into the challenges business leaders face, helping them grow personally while navigating professional demands.
Trauma-Informed: As a certified trauma-informed coach, I’m here to help you let go of the labels and stories others have placed on you. You’re more than what’s happened to you, and we’ll explore what’s possible in a space where you can be your true self.
Identity-Affirming: I create a safe, welcoming space for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Neurodivergent clients where you can show up fully as yourself. Being “out” about your identities can be challenging, but we all deserve to lead with our unique strengths and gifts.

FAQs

Coaching is a partnership in which the Coach guides the Client to uncover their inner resources to maximize their personal and professional potential. It is not business advisory, although some coaches may offer that within their services too.
Coaching provides an ongoing, structured, and safe space for clients to explore their wants, needs, and goals, develop strategies, and overcome obstacles. It is a comprehensive and creative process for transforming different areas of life: work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation.
Coaching is not a substitute for therapy. However, people who work with professionally trained coaches can experience a release from stressors they have carried for years. We encourage them to bring new insights into therapy sessions.
-
A trauma informed coach has the education and practical experience to coach through and around the trauma(s) people experience through systemic racism, sexual violence, other violence, and catastrophic health issues or events.
Trauma lives in the body. A trauma-informed coach will notice how and when a client may be triggered and take immediate action to co-regulate their nervous system so they aren’t re-traumatized through coaching.
We use various mind-body methods (e.g., grounding, breathwork, visualization, body awareness) to help clients decouple the impact of traumas from their nervous system, both during and after sessions. The goal is for clients to learn to do this on their own.

Co-Active Training Institute: By helping clients expand their focus beyond the presenting issue or problem, Co-Active coaching facilitates the engagement of the whole brain. Rather than looking just for the most logical answer, a Co-Active coach will encourage the client to explore thoughts and feelings and give voice to intuitive gut reactions. This kind of attention helps integrate the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which not only opens up new solutions and creativity but also builds lasting connections that can be used for future problem-solving. A 2010 fMRI study at Case Western Reserve University found that when subjects spent 30 minutes talking about their desired personal vision, the parts of their brain “associated with cognitive, perceptual, and emotional openness and better functioning” were activated.

Moving The Human Spirit: Moving the Human Spirit offers ground-breaking, ICF-accredited online trauma-informed coach training. Trauma-informed coaches have training in client regulation, brain-body connection, behavioral reaction, different types of traumas, leading causes, and subsequent symptoms. They will have learned methods to help ‘regulate’ the nervous system, discard shame and guilt through powerful questions, and recognize and promote wellness as it develops. Source
Stanford School of Medicine Center for Compassion and Altruism Research & Education: Stanford's CCARE program was envisioned by Dr. James Doty, a Stanford neurosurgeon, entrepreneur and philanthropist, and current CCARE Director. Dr. Doty has a longstanding interest in individuals' fundamental motivations to do good. Since its inception, the CCARE program has supported and collaborated on several groundbreaking research projects that have resulted in cross-disciplinary publications on the science of compassion.
