About Me

I worked in construction management for over 6 years and worked with men 99% of the time. What I found was a lot of them had a lot of emotions with nowhere to go.

If you find it hard to say no, even when saying yes or agreeing causes you to feel feel taken for granted. People don't seem to see how you are already overstretched...

Or if you feel lonely, even when around other people. It's hard for you to be honest about what would make you happy...

Or you'd rather dull or quiet your feelings through distractions or substances, than express them because "it's easier"...

Or you feel like you're always running on fumes, leaving no time, resolve or willpower left to tackle your own goals...

Then know that you are not alone. You may be very good at tuning into what others are feeling. You are thoughtful and caring towards others, but find it hard to reflect that care back to yourself. You may be very self-critical, have a need to take control, or a tendency to do too much. Always saying yes leaves you exhausted, overwhelmed and miserable. Your over-giving leads you to feel resentful toward the people in your life.

But what if there was an easier, simpler way to live without doing so much (and still feeling like it's not enough)? There would be no more anger and frustration feeling like you're doing things out of obligation or feeling taken for granted. No more anxiety and stress trying to keep others happy while stretching yourself too thin. No more hiding your own needs, opinions or preferences to accommodate others.

I help maxed out, burnt out men like you reconnect with your body and calm your mind, so that you can become motivated and get excited about life again.

I know what isolation, exhaustion, and using coping mechanisms feel like. And I know how much more engaging, hopeful and motivating life can be on the other side. I can guide you there too.

Vera is a tremendous coach. Shes knowledgeable, caring, professional, an excellent communicator, takes her job seriously and has so many tools available to personalize her coaching to each client and provide what they need. I am so grateful and feel truly blessed to have her help.

The universe led me to Vera after a devastating and life changing diagnosis and surgery at 44 years old. At time where my life was near perfect; comfortable, full and complete. Then turned upside down in a spit second; from stay at home Mom and wife to not knowing if I would survive and when I did how I will continue to live my best life. After filling my days, weeks and months with every type of therapy and support I could find; not feeling any of it would ever bring me back from the parallel universe I was locked in. There was Vera, at the right time, with the right energy. Her kind and loving words, the way she is connected and hears what my soul is requesting and needs to reconnect with this body and the world it is part of. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Vera. She is much more than a supportive yoga instructor. She is a real and loving advocate and teacher for my souls journey. Vera is a gift. For all that you are I am grateful

I highly recommend Vera for her yoga instruction and life coaching. Vera is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of yoga and is excellent at guiding one through even the most difficult yoga sequences. Her sequences flow extremely well and she adeptly connects the poses with ones mindfulness and breath. And in every class she provides words of encouragement, insight and wisdom and especially in her Yin and Yoga Nidra classes which leave me with a deep sense of calm and hope . I always feel very connected and present after one of Veras classes. Through her life coaching she provides strong empathy with whats going on in my life which allows me to see a hopeful path forward no matter how chaotic and stressful things may be.

I've attended four coaching sessions with Vera now and I cannot say enough about how grateful I am. Compared to other coaching experiences I've had in the past, Vera masterfully weaves in yoga and meditation into her coaching sessions. Her holistic approach to wellness and non-judgmental appreciative inquiry of getting to the root of what is holding me back from reaching my goals is what I have come to greatly appreciate. The sessions feel intentional and actionable, and the opportunity to incorporate some movement, breathwork, and meditation into the sessions feels so right. The action plans we work through feel realistic and manageable, and I leave each session feeling heard, my body rejuvenated, my mind motivated. Thank you Vera!!
