Coaching

My role as a coach is to help reconnect you to your own deep, inner-knowing and wisdom.

Compassionate curiosity is one of the North Stars I orient around in my life– towards myself, towards others, towards shadows, and towards wounds. I believe our wounds have gifts for us and that there is power in befriending our big emotions– especially the uncomfortable ones.

I received my coaching certification from The Relateful Company. My training background includes Internal Family Systems (parts work), Somatic emotional release techniques, trauma, Authentic Relating, Jungian archetypes, Shadow work, and plant medicine.

I am also a certified facilitator of Relatefulness, a relational meditation practice where, instead of bringing our awareness back to a mantra or the breath, we practice bringing our awareness back to “What’s it like to be here, now, with this individual human or this particular constellation of humans?” Relatefulness is one of the dojos that helped me learn how to be in connection with another human without abandoning myself.

If you are looking for integrative practices and conscious community in Los Angeles, come join us for a Fundamentals night. We meet most Thursdays.

Testimonials

  • “Gillian’s great coaching enabled me to get through an unprecedentedly hard time. Through her guidance, presence, acceptance, and direction, we were able to get underneath the painful emotions and unroot the deeper limiting beliefs. This left me feeling much better about the situation and enabled me to get out of a freeze and move towards positive action in my life.”

    -Joy, actor

  • "I came to Gillian when I was struggling to integrate and re-own some younger parts of me. It was an absolute joy to work with her. Her loving and caring presence helped me deepen into myself from the very beginning. Gillian’s way of guiding me to my depths while holding space for anything sticky that came up was very skillful! I was able to come to a lot of clarity that allowed me to move forward with the next chapter of my life. Very thankful for her coaching!"

    -Alex, coach & facilitator

  • "I really appreciated Gillian’s ability to hold compassionate space for me. She truly listened, reflected back to me my thoughts and feelings, witnessed my pain and gently shared perspectives that ushered in greater compassion and acceptance for myself. We often know the answers or the way through our challenging issues or dilemma’s in life. Our minds and bodies instinctively know how to heal. However, we work with therapists and healers because they become a reflection, a reminder and a wise, loving guide to assist us in returning home to our truth and our center. Gillian has gentle, wise and insightful ways to be a holder of healing and growth. Thank you, Gillian.”

    -E.N.A., creative director & entrepreneur

  • “Gillian brings both refreshingly tender presence and precise awareness to her coaching. I felt seen, supported, nourished, and challenged. And most importantly, more connected to myself and what I needed. Highly recommend!”

    -Brian, naturopathic physician

  • "I've been struggling for decades with limerence and hadn't made much progress with traditional talk therapy. So I tried a few sessions of coaching with Gillian and found her approach to be refreshing and productive. Instead of getting bogged down in the details, Gillian focused on what was underneath the feelings I was experiencing. By doing this, she also helped me to recognize that the feelings I wanted to be experiencing weren't locked away in the future after (yet another) hurdle, they're accessible in the present moment. Gillian's remarkable ability to make me feel deeply seen was a secret ingredient to this process."
