Have we met yet?

I’m Bernice - A heart-centered leadership and wellness coach.

I help growth-minded leaders heal their inner worlds so they can lead from a place of calm, clarity and confidence. My work is guided by the belief that we are all soulful beings having a human experience and that anxiety, self doubt and overwhelm appear when we attempt to rely heavily on our cognitive minds and bypass the intelligence of our body, heart and soul. 

If you’re experiencing anxiety, overwhelm and self doubt, please know that nothing is wrong with you; it’s your body’s intelligence telling you that it desperately wants you to reconnect with all parts of you. There’s an infinite well of wisdom beneath the surface of your stress and overwhelm and I am here to help you uncover what you’re meant to learn from it.

    “Working with Bernice has been incredibly transformative. Her coaching feels like a true partnership where she walks alongside me, sharing her own experiences and creating a safe space for reflection. With her support, I’ve learned to embrace my authenticity and trust my own growth process, especially in balancing work, leadership, and personal healing.”

  • Grounding

    “Bernice created a gentle and warm space that allowed me to feel safe and supported throughout the session. I came in feeling anxious and scattered, but by the end, I felt relaxed, grounded, and more in tune with my mind and body. Her breathwork practice significantly reduced my anxiety, and I now have a self-help tool to use at home whenever I need it.”

The workshop reminded us that healing is a process.”

    — Sara Ozuna, Lecturer & Faculty at Cal State Los Angeles

  • A Safe Space

    — Dr. Veronica Gonzalez, Professor at Cal State Los Angeles

  • I bring a unique combination of professional expertise and personal experience to my work. I am a California credentialed teacher with an administrative credential and over 20 years of leadership experience in the public, private and charter school sector across the state. I am certified as a Somatic Breathwork Practitioner through Soma+IQ and have completed advanced coaching training with respected organizations such as Bright Morning and UCLA Center X. My effectiveness as a coach is also rooted in my personal healing journey with anxiety, which has deepened my empathy and understanding of the challenges leaders face. Combined with my lived experience as a childhood trauma survivor, this blend of credentials, training, and personal growth allows me to support leaders in achieving meaningful transformation with a compassionate and trauma-informed approach.

  • Yes, I offer both text messaging and email support for my coaching clients throughout our established coaching container. This allows us to stay connected, address questions, and provide guidance as needed between sessions. We can discuss the details during our exploratory call to ensure it aligns with your needs and goals.

  • I understand that investing in coaching or workshops is a significant decision, and I’m committed to making my services as accessible as possible.

Depending on what you’re looking for, we can explore options to create a solution that aligns with your goals and fits within your budget. Let’s connect and see how we can make this work for you.

  • While my professional experience is rooted in the education field, the strategies and content I teach are applicable to all heart-centered, growth-oriented leaders struggling with anxiety, stress and self doubt. If you or your organization are committed to creating an emotionally safe and healing environment for yourself and others, I’d love to explore how we can collaborate. Schedule a call to discuss your goals and how I can support you.

  • The timing of results varies for each individual, as it depends on your unique goals, commitment to the process, and the work we do together. Many clients begin to notice shifts in their mindset, stress levels, and emotional awareness within the first few sessions. However, deeper, lasting transformation often takes time and consistent practice. My goal is to equip you with tools and strategies that create both immediate relief and sustainable, long-term growth. During our work together, I’ll be there to support and guide you every step of the way.
