Through individual and group coaching, Gaeliel assists clients to develop specific steps for breaking unhealthy habits in thought patterns and emotional responses, how goals are developed and how they interact with others.

Her experience ranges from a broad demographic including teen girls, women in transition, domestic violence, homelessness, mental health illness, low income and single parent women. She enjoys developing and facilitating personal development topics including: boundaries, communication, emotional intelligence, self-esteem empowerment, stress reduction techniques, goal setting, time management, habit formation restructuring, nutritional education and physical body management skills.

 

She loves to incorporate mindfulness practices, time in nature, yogic techniques, breathing and body awareness exercises to help her clients learn how to connect to their bodies. When working with the body she enjoys developing individual systems for each person incorporating Kundalini yoga, which specialize in meditation, breath work and poses, the practice of Yin, Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga and dance movement. She is a massive supporter of eating healthy and teaching others how to do this in simple easy steps!

BELIEFS & APPROACHES

Wellness is about finding balance in all aspects of our lives: mentally, emotionally and physically. If we avoid one of these aspects it eventually tends to bleed into other areas, until we can’t ignore it anymore. Many times we don’t notice the interconnectedness and the impact it can have on one another. Realizing that what we eat affects how we feel or how we think affects how we approach things are simple examples of the inter-dependencies we all want to be aware of. Through identifying where assistance is needed to find balance in our everyday lives, integrative wellness coaching supports developing a healthier and more joyful way of living.
