Stillness in the Chaos: Nervous System and Somatic Coaching
Move forward with clarity, intention, and a regulated body.
Safety is the foundation, not the goal.
Real release doesn’t happen through pressure; it happens when your body finally feels safe enough to stop fighting.
My work is built on nervous system awareness and trust.
When we shift you out of high alert, clarity and action don't need to be forced - they unfold naturally.

Vera's authentic interest and desire to help clients better understand and connect to themselves and their emotions was very evident upon our first interaction. Her unassuming, warm, welcoming energy laid the foundation for a safe, vulnerable space to share her thoughtful insights. Her critical employment of cognitive behavioral therapeutic techniques, along with mindfulness and meditation practices, and empathetic listening help deliver a thorough experience where I feel heard, understood, and challenged to grow. Regardless of how heavy a session can be, we always end with a laugh and a smile. In a word, she's great!

I cannot recommend Vera more highly!
Through both our informal interactions and scheduled sessions, she has always displayed such positivity, empathy and genuine care, combined with a great sense of professionalism.
Vera allows you to be yourself with her ability to create a safe and supportive environment, which was so important early on when I was dealing with a number of difficult emotions. She gave me a variety of tools and deep knowledge to allow me to slowly take back control of my thoughts and feelings.
I genuinely believe I've made huge strides in my mental wellbeing from my sessions with Vera and recommend her to anyone as an investment for their own health and wellbeing.Steven W

Personally I’ve always dealt with things internally and on my own. After my initial call with Vera I felt like working with someone who showed the patience and understanding she showed could help me in ways I hadn’t thought of before. She made me sit in stillness which I hated 🤣 but really helped me to slow down and dig deep and work through stuff I had never taken the time to do before. I would (and have) recommend her to any of my friends who need an unbiased, understanding, and patient person to help them. 🙏🏽

I've attended four coaching sessions with Vera now and I cannot say enough about how grateful I am. Her holistic approach to wellness and non-judgmental appreciative inquiry of getting to the root of what is holding me back from reaching my goals is what I have come to greatly appreciate. The sessions feel intentional and actionable, and the opportunity to incorporate some breathwork and meditation into the sessions feels so right. The action plans we work through feel realistic and manageable, and I leave each session feeling heard, my body rejuvenated, my mind motivated. Thank you Vera!!

Working with Vera was genuinely grounding and meaningful for me. She has a calm, compassionate presence that made it easy to open up, even during periods of high stress and uncertainty. Her approach to anxiety and life coaching felt thoughtful, practical, and deeply human — never rushed, never judgmental.
Vera has a real gift for helping you slow things down, gain clarity, and feel more anchored in yourself. I’m truly grateful for the support and perspective she offered during our time together, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for steadiness, insight, and care.Allan N

Vera’s coaching and guidance has left nothing but a positive impact on my life. I feel understood and heard during the sessions and at the same time she won’t hold back or sugarcoat anything. I truly feel like she gives me her energy during our time and genuinely cares. Her perspective on my situation comes with experience and wisdom. She has given me actionable tools to pursue my goals and I look forward to every session. I couldn’t recommend working with Vera enough.

I highly recommend Vera for her yoga instruction and life coaching. Vera is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of yoga and is excellent at guiding one through even the most difficult yoga sequences. Her sequences flow extremely well and she adeptly connects the poses with one’s mindfulness and breath. And in every class she provides words of encouragement, insight and wisdom and especially in her Yin and Yoga Nidra classes which leave me with a deep sense of calm and hope . I always feel very connected and present after one of Vera’s classes. Through her life coaching she provides strong empathy with what’s going on in my life which allows me to see a hopeful path forward no matter how chaotic and stressful things may be.

Vera created time for me. Time to hear me, actively listen, and being things all together in a way I could easily digest and take action. Each week was framed around something new and no idel times. The weekly homework gave physical activities to tie in with mental recovery.
Ending every session with "what did I get this week? " allowed me to reflect on someone else's insights to my own words. Giving me a positive affirmation for the week.Brian S

I've had the pleasure of working with some incredible coaches in the past, but I can confidently say that Vera is the best coach I've ever had. What works really well for me about her is that she supports me in framing and reframing my thoughts to help me reach the mental state I need while encouraging me to stay true to myself.
Each session has been productive and insightful, always ending with actionable takeaways I can implement immediately. I truly appreciate her unique approach and support on my journey.
If you're looking for a coach who truly understands you and fosters genuine growth, I highly recommend her!Fumie W

Vera has been a valuable resource in my personal and professional growth. When I came to her my life was in a stage of chaos and my request was to find some serenity in the chaos. Vera has helped me find more balance, peace, and calm in my daily life. Although there is more work to do, it is reassuring to know I have Vera available to help guide my way toward more serenity and more Life.

I was searching for a counsellor/ therapist for many years. When I finally came across Vera, I had an instant connection.
I reached out to Vera after reading her story.
Definitely someone that could relate to me through her own life experience.
When I met Vera, I was not driving on my own. I was not going to appointments on my own and within two months I’m doing everything on my own.Vera is extremely wise knowledgable knows how to place her words never rushes her advice. She listens to everything you’ve got to say and her advice is very sound advice. Vera is not bias if she needs to put you in your spot you will be put in your spot. Vera also loves to laugh. She has a good soul and I have absolutely zero regret.. 🙏🙏🙏

The universe led me to Vera after a devastating and life changing diagnosis and surgery at 44 years old. After filling my days, weeks and months with every type of therapy and support I could find; not feeling any of it would ever bring me back from the parallel universe I was locked in. There was Vera, at the right time, with the right energy. Her kind and loving words, the way she is connected and hears what my soul is requesting and needs to reconnect with this body and the world it is part of.
I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Vera. She is a real and loving advocate and teacher for my souls journey.
Vera is a gift. For all that you are I am grateful ❤️

Vera has made an incredible impact on my life in many levels. One, an honest individual with integrity is hard to come by, someone to keep you accountable, someone to guide you in self-reflection and embrace change. I can't speak highly enough of Vera and strongly recommend you connect with her.

Working with Vera over the past few months has been nothing short of life-changing.
Vera’s compassionate and caring nature extends beyond her yoga instruction. Her non-judgmental and supportive approach to life coaching has empowered me to prioritize my goals in a meaningful way, leading to profound and positive changes both in my personal relationships and in my career. With her guidance, I’ve gained clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I cannot recommend Vera enough. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.Ryan H
What can you expect from a coaching session?
Each session is a grounded space designed to move you out of defense and into action.
Move out of survival mode: We identify where your body is stuck on high alert so you can stop reacting to the past and start responding to the present.
Restore your focus: We clear the mental noise and physiological overwhelm, helping you find the clarity needed to make intentional decisions.
Integrated support: While our work is conversational, I provide practical regulation tools you can use in real-time to release tension and maintain your progress between sessions.
You’ll leave with a tangible plan and the capacity to follow through. Change happens when your body finally feels safe enough to choose a new direction. You leave knowing exactly how to begin.
