Brainspotting & Coaching
Healing That Goes Deeper Than Words
Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based approach that helps you process what talk alone can't always reach — trauma, stress, stuck patterns, and emotional pain.
What Is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting (BSP) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. David Grand that works by identifying specific eye positions — called "brainspots" — that correlate with unprocessed emotional and physiological experiences stored in the brain and body.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, brainspotting bypasses the analytical mind and accesses the deeper subcortical brain where trauma, stress, and emotional pain are held. It's gentle, client-led, and remarkably effective.
"Where you look affects how you feel."
— Dr. David Grand, Founder of Brainspotting
What Is Brainspotting-Informed Coaching?
Brainspotting-informed coaching uses focused eye positions, mindfulness, and body awareness to help you slow down and notice how stress affects your mind and body.
This gentle, supportive approach encourages stress reduction, greater self-awareness, and personal growth, helping you feel more connected to yourself and make intentional choices.
Notice. Pause. Choose.
How Brainspotting-Informed Coaching Can Help You

What to Expect in a Session
Notice
We identify what you're feeling and where you feel it in your body. No need to have the 'right' words.
Locate
Together we find the brainspot — the eye position that activates the feeling most strongly.
Process
You hold your gaze there while your brain does its natural healing work. I hold the space with you.
Integrate
We close with grounding and reflection, helping your nervous system settle and integrate the shift.
Coaching vs. Therapy: What's the Difference?
As a certified nurse coach, I use brainspotting-informed techniques within a coaching framework — focused on your present and future, your goals, and your growth. This is not therapy or mental health treatment. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, I will always refer you to the appropriate clinical support.
Brainspotting-informed coaching is ideal for high-functioning individuals who feel stuck, stressed, or disconnected — and are ready to move forward.
