As a child Gwen first became aware of her psychic gifts, struggled with illness as a teen, and after a near death experience at the age of 14, Gwen realized our human experiences were simply invitations to deeper healing, growth and expansion. From that moment on she knew she was here to serve others who were struggling.
Through a 20-year career in pharmaceutical and biotech research and consulting, 20-years as a coach for executives, entrepreneurs and a wide variety of professionals, and 30-years of certifications, Gwen created the Somatic Medicine(TM) process which encourages clients to use all of their human experiences - the good, the bad, and everything in between - to heal, grow and expand as humans, and reconnect with our souls.
Gwen has moved from disease to healing and optimal living, high functioning alcoholism to 20 years of sobriety, feeling trapped in corporate structures to sharing her spiritual gifts in real and practical ways with clients, from being single to single motherhood, to marriage to divorce.
Gwen blends a Masters in Spiritual Psychology, Certifications in Professional and Life Coaching, Certifications in Quantum Human Design, Usui Reiki Mastery, Breathwork, Four Winds Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing and the Safe and Sound Protocol Nervous System Regulation. Gwen has regular DEIB healing and training within her offerings working with high-achieving professionals, teams and families seeking their next level of highest expression, in sustainable and soulful ways.
Through coaching and mentoring, Gwen teaches clients in private coaching containers, her 6-Week Grounded Nervous System Group, 4-Week Moon + Menstrual Course, 4-Week Initiation of Perimenopause, 8-Week Human Design Embodiment, 3-Month Activation Breathwork Certification, 6-Month Rise Group Coaching, and the ongoing Expansion Monthly Membership to become their own empowered guide and intuitive healer.
Gwen supports founders, executives, teams at Whole 30, Viacom, CBS, Microsoft, Wells Fargo, Under Armor, Tone It Up, mindbodygreen, as well as solo and entrepreneurs with optimal living in the five realms - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic. Gwen’s work has been featured in Forbes, Well+Good, mindbodygreen, a multitude of podcasts as well as her own podcast, the Beautiful Grit.
Gwen lives in Santa Monica, CA with her two children, ages nine and twelve. She loves sunrises and sunsets, nature and meditation, walking and yoga, gardening and sustainability, learning and spending time with loved ones.
