Finding Your Way Home

Post-Traumatic Growth Coaching

with yourself

A place to reconnect

Through Mindful Awareness and the Science of Healing

I guide women from surviving to thriving — through Post-Traumatic Growth, illness, and major life transitions. Through my own healing and trauma recovery, I learned the wisdom of interweaving mindful awareness with the science of healing. Together they became medicine for my nervous system 💛

My healing journey gradually taught me that safety begins in the nervous system, and that healing is less about fixing ourselves and more about softly reconnecting with who we already are.

“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

Befriending Your Nervous System: a Vagal Toning Practice

Vagal tone refers to the strength, speed, and efficiency of the vagus nerve response.

A toned vagus nerve supports resilience by increasing our capacity to return, again and again, to greater balance and regulation.

We will explore the remarkable vagus nerve pathway and practices that support greater steadiness, clarity, and ease.

I look forward to practicing together.

  • 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.

  • "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."
