Find your light. Live it fully.
You became who you had to be.
Let's meet who you came here as.
Trauma-informed coaching and breathwork for people who want more from life than just getting by.
As someone who spent two decades in a high-control religious group that slowly taught me not to trust my own voice, I know what it is to lose your own light. Sometimes it slips away quietly, sometimes it leaves more dramatically, and before you know it, over years even, you stop recognizing the person in the mirror. You realize you don't even know what makes you, you, anymore.
Finding my way back to my full self wasn't an accident. It was a process that changed my relationships, perspective, and life: illuminating what had been buried, integrating what I found, and becoming someone who I actually recognize, adore, and genuinely feel at peace with.
I'm here because I believe you can find your way to your distinct and luminous self too. This is the work I now get to walk beside you through. This is the work that I truly love.
You Might Know This Feeling
You're getting everything done
but feeling very little joy from it.
You're the one who appears to never need anything.
And in that, somewhere along the way,
you lost sight of what your needs even are.
What do you want? What makes you smile?
You've looked to your marriage, your family,
or your work for what's missing,
and yet you know it is something even quieter, deeper.
It's not that you don't have anything you are thankful for,
you just know there is meant to be more, and you want to feel it.
You want to feel real joy,
real peace, real fulfillment.
None of that means something is wrong with you.
It means you became who you had to be.
Until now...

Trauma-Informed, In Plain Words
Trauma doesn't always look like a big event.
Sometimes it looks like years of being fine.
I used to think trauma could only be a dramatic event that happened to people. Then I learned it can also be quiet: years of learning to be fine, to be helpful, to need nothing.
That's what trauma-informed means to me. I won't ask you to relive anything you don't want to, or put a label on yourself. I'll help you understand why you became who you had to be, and how to meet who you came here as.
“My experience of coaching with Lia has been so beautiful. She held such a safe, loving space for me, where I never felt judged or rushed. I could truly be vulnerable with her.
What struck me most was her intuition - she really heard me, not just my words, but what was underneath. She helped me get to the root of things in a way that felt so gentle and kind. Coaching with her feels like talking to a friend, and somehow that made it easy for me to open up and have insights I’d never had before.
I came away feeling a real sense of ease and alignment, and that’s something I’m carrying forward in my life. She’s a beautiful coach, and I’d highly recommend her.”
How We Work Together
1
Understanding Your Roots
See why you became who you had to be: the patterns and the survival self running underneath, held without blame or judgment.
2
Nervous System & Breath
Conscious connected breathwork and regulation tools, so your body can release what's stuck, reach subconscious patterns, and feel safe enough to change.
3
Body & Essence
Listen to your soma, relearn what you need, and discover who you came here as, what you want beneath the shoulds, and what real joy and purpose look like for you.
4
Healing Old Wounds & Relationships
Inner child work and the patterns carried from childhood, family, past relationships, and high-control religions and groups, so you stop repeating them and can feel real connection with a spouse, family, and yourself.
5
Living It Fully
Bring your essence into your voice, boundaries, and daily choices, so the change shows up in your marriage, family, work, and life.
I coach from a set of deep beliefs about what it means to be human and what real transformation actually requires.
Not hustle. Not willpower. Not performing a better version of yourself.
“Your light was never gone, only dimmed beneath everything you had to become, and finding it is an unfolding through your body.”
Hi, I’m Lia.
Most of the people I coach are not falling apart on the outside. They are capable, they are showing up, they are doing "the right things." But somewhere along the way they lost something, their joy, their sense of purpose, the feeling of being truly alive in their own life. They cannot quite name it but they feel it every day.
I know this because I felt it too.
For years I kept showing up, kept doing the right things, kept telling myself it was fine. But I had slowly drifted so far from myself that I no longer knew what brought me joy, what I actually wanted, or even who I was beneath all the roles I was playing. I had lost the thread back to myself and I did not even know it was gone.
But I also know what it feels like when the lights finally come on.
Through coaching, I learned to stop, to get still, and to hear myself again. I worked through the patterns and beliefs that had been quietly running my life. And on the other side of that work, something came back that I had almost forgotten was possible. My joy. My voice. The feeling of being genuinely, fully alive.
The people around me saw it before I could even name it.
Now I walk alongside people finding their way to themselves, whatever pulled them away from it. Many of the people I work with are healing from childhood patterns, difficult relationships, and high-control religions and groups. Together we work on understanding why you became who you had to be, learning to listen to your body, trusting your own judgment, and setting down shame that was never yours to carry.

“I was a little skeptical at first prior to our first session in the sense that I couldn’t really change my mindset. By our fourth, I’m realizing the stories I’d been telling myself for years were the problem.
With the tools and expertise I’ve received from Lia, I’m now pursuing my goals with a new lease on life, and for the better! Thank you Coach Lia!!”

Growth doesn't have to be lonely, or perfect. It just has to be honest.
