A Medicine Woman's Prayer

I will not rescue you, 
For you are not powerless.
I will not fix you, 
For you are not broken.
I will not heal you, 
For I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you through the darkness, 
As you remember your light.

-Sheree Bliss Tilsley

Welcome home to your sacred body.

I’m Brandie, and I guide women out of burnout, betrayal, and depletion into self-leadership, restoration, and embodied, heart-centered living in the home of your sacred body.

As a survivor and solo mother of two girls, I’ve walked through the fire of abuse, self-abandonment, and disconnection. I know what it’s like to give your power away and feel lost and confused. I know the turmoil of sleepless nights and anxious days. I know the grief of life taking an unwanted turn, and the radical acceptance required to move on.

I’ve also discovered the freedom and deep healing that comes from owning my story, my body, my healing, and choosing joy as a way of life.

As a Board Certified Nurse Coach, I have specialized training in an emerging integrative healthcare paradigm that empowers you to be the owner of your body and your health. Using the holistic lifestyle and somatic practices of mindfulness, nourishment, rest, movement, boundaries, and listening to your body’s wisdom, you can heal your body and your life.

I see you as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a problem to be fixed. I listen deeply and honor your unique story, life, and needs. I help you move from knowing what you “should” do to living what is true for you.

Let’s connect to see how I can support you on your healing journey.

 
 

My Philosophy

Wellness is not about being perfect.

In my own life, I’ve discovered that pursuing perfection is a waste of time and energy and usually leaves me feeling depressed, anxious and unfulfilled.

As Anne Lamott says, “Perfection is the voice of the oppressor.” Instead, I guide you to your own clarity about who you are and what you need. In our work together, you’ll move through fear, claim what you need, and take ownership of your health and your life in a sustainable way that feels good.

I believe wellness begins with our belief system and is rooted in our connection to the wisdom of the body. This includes the foods we eat, the way we move and inhabit our bodies, how we respond to stress, the products we use, the work we engage in, the quality of our relationships, and our connection to the Divine. True wellness is an embodied experience—one that invites us to come home to ourselves— again and again.

When we make choices that honor and nourish ourselves, we are better able to care for our families, show up in our communities, and live with integrity.

What women say about our work together

“Brandie is a healer, emotionally and physically.” — Megan Carling

“I have gained a renewed energy toward my whole-woman wellness. By shining a light on my excuses and unhealthy habits, I am now ready to take responsibility for meeting my own needs. I have learned that self-compassion is a key component to my mental and emotional well-being, that self-care is a lot more (and sometimes a lot less) than I originally believed, and that I can become a better mama through play!” — Jodie Gonzales

“Not only was I gifted with a number of books and resources to turn to after our coaching program ended, I also gained specific tools and ideas to help me engage with my creativity daily while still being present in the rest of my life.” — Ashley S.

“I was facing a number of challenges in my life, including dealing with the grief over the loss of a parent, trying to decide how to find meaningful work outside the home and working through difficulties with a high-intensity child. Brandie helped me get in touch with my inner strength and leadership skills and make positive steps on my own behalf and on behalf of my family. Brandie is an amazingly intuitive coach. She seems to just sense the true nature of your struggle even if you don’t have the words to describe it. She offers gentle guidance that is usually right on the mark for the direction you need to take. She is a wealth of knowledge about integrative medicine and self-care. As a result of our coaching, I have uncovered my inner strength and leadership and was able to stop using anti-depressants to control fear and anxiety.” — N. Thomas

“As a wife, mother of three young children, and small business owner, the level of stress I feel can be overwhelming. My coaching sessions help me clarify the current issue, focus on facing it in a healthy way and move forward with an intention. Brandie is able to help me focus on an issue or struggle in my life, label it, and set an intention. My husband sees how our entire family benefits! ” — Nancy C.

“When I’ve been in therapy in the past, it’s good to have someone hear your feelings and there’s some clarity that comes with it, but nothing as quickly as when I was coached with you. That clarity has come much quicker and more easily. And it comes from me- it’s you bringing it out of me. For me, it’s been so helpful, so thank you.” — Laura M.

“I’ve come to realize that my mood changes, and that is totally okay; it is also beneficial to adapt my choices depending on my mood (not pushing myself too hard on rough days, adjusting my expectations based on my mood/energy). Through the Collective, I have gained support, learned how to embrace my whole self and also discovered how to thrive.” — Carley F.
