Finding My Way Home

Post-Traumatic Growth Coaching

A place to reconnect with yourself

Through Mindful Awareness and the Science of Healing

Hi, I'm Esther Brandon.

I created Finding Your Way Home to offer women next steps as they find their way from surviving to thriving — women healing after trauma, illness, and major life transitions.

Through my own journey, I came to understand what happens when mindful awareness meets the science of healing. They became like medicine for my nervous system.

“She has a profound ability to make you feel seen and heard, even amidst great struggle.”

— Isabel Mata, Writer and Mindfulness teacher

“Being truly heard by Esther releases the built-up steam in my life.”

Even on the days I feel 'I don't need this,' her humanity and uniquely skilled guidance help me find more compassion for myself — and I'm discovering a more fully integrated sense of self-awareness, understanding, and acceptance."

— Kathy, Finding Your Way client

Trauma can disconnect us from ourselves. Integration reconnects us.

I learned how safety begins in our nervous system. As our nervous system develops greater capacity, we expand our ability to meet stress, adapt to change, and return to balance with greater ease.

Mindful awareness and the healing science of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) offer pathways toward integration, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection.

Polyvagal Theory offers a lens for understanding how our nervous system responds to cues of safety and threat, and how we can softly support regulation and connection.

  • I had the pleasure of attending a webinar Esther created entitled “Mindfulness and Coaching.” Clearly, Esther has both the passion and competence to be a leader in this space. The webinar had two important impacts on me. As a human being , I felt more centered, relaxed, and present to the moment at the conclusion of the webinar. As a coach, it validated and energized my own work in this space with my clients.”

  • I have known Esther for several years. The more I know her, the deeper my appreciation, respect, and admiration for her. In my mindful practices with her, I have come not only to understand intellectually the concept of being one with one’s body, mind, spirit, gut, emotion, but I have reached depths into my own integration of all of these parts and different levels of my own being. Being in mindful practice with Esther, signifies being on a trip far into the depth of my being.

    Jacqueline Levy, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC),  Certified Professional Coach, International Coaching Federation (PCC) 

  • "I have had amazing opportunities at Lesley, and great role models, but no one has inspired me like you have. You have been a guide and source of wisdom, and it is difficult for me to imagine what my life would be like without the sense of safety that your office provides. I am grateful for everything that you do and for the person that you are. I hope to one day do for someone all that you have done for me."

    L, Former Student Teacher
