Healing-Centered Coaching for Changemakers
“La luz produce los colores:
los colores no encienden la luz.”
– Rubén Darío
What is Healing-Centered Coaching?
Healing Centered Coaching was designed by Blooming Willow, a Black woman-led coaching and training firm. Healing Centered Coaching is where coaching, healing, and transformation seamlessly come together. Designed for Changemakers, our signature Healing Centered Coaching® approach empowers you to pause, ground yourself, align with your goals, and take purposeful action to foster both growth and healing.
This inward-focused process will support you to access your own wisdom and knowing to propel you forward with greater clarity and power that honors your growth and healing.
Coaching is a partnership between the client and coach where we will work together to align with your most wise self. Through transformational listening, we will cheer your growth and support you with accountability as you stretch to where you want to be.
- You are committed to creating social change where you are and around our world.
- You seek alignment with your highest purpose.
- You are willing to slow down and shift from “doing” to being” and are ready to show up for yourself.
- You are open to connecting with something bigger than yourself (land, waters, ancestors, etc).
- You are ready to integrate new ways of being into your life and work.
- I will listen with compassion, care, and curiosity.
- You get to lead as the client, which includes inviting silence, pausing, and pivoting as needed.
- You get to be curious – you don’t have to know the answers, we can discover them together.
- You have permission to feel your feelings. I believe that our emotions are the way forward.
- You can bring the good, bad, and ugly.
- I will support you to take risks and stretch beyond your comfort zone.
- There is no “fixing” of you. My coaching approach is about exploring and discovering support for your healing and growth.
I am especially excited to coach with
Those who are stepping into their leadership stance but aren’t ready to call themselves “leaders”. Those who may have imposter syndrome or want to locate their own agency amidst big systems. I love coaching those who want to align their “walk” with their “talk”.
I love coaching Black and brown individuals, femmes of color, spiritual people, people with disabilities, immigrants and children of the diaspora, and those who are ready to level up (in all the ways that make sense for them). I am particularly skilled at working with those who have worked on political campaigns, in government, K-12 education/higher education, non-profit, advocacy, or philanthropic environments.
We strengthen leaders, systems, and strategies to achieve a greater impact
