You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe spent years in therapy or personal growth. You understand your patterns, and yet you still find yourself second-guessing your choices or falling back into familiar ways of being.

Maybe you don't need another answer. Maybe you need help learning how to hear and trust your own.

Through somatic coaching and IFS-informed parts work, I help you move beyond understanding yourself intellectually and reconnect with the wisdom that's already within you.

EXPORE COACHING

You understand the pattern. But understanding hasn't changed it.

You may know why you overthink, second-guess yourself, or struggle to know what you actually want. You've become incredibly self-aware, yet in the moment, those old patterns can still take over.

Awareness is the beginning of change, not the end of it.

There are things we can't think our way through. Sometimes we need to slow down and notice what's happening beneath the thoughts: what your body is communicating, what different parts of you are protecting, and what you actually want underneath all the noise.

A different way of listening to yourself

Our work isn't about me giving you answers or telling you what you should do. It's about creating enough space to hear what's already there.

Together, we slow things down and get curious about the parts of you that react, protect, shut down, strive, or try to keep everyone happy. Rather than trying to change them, we begin to understand what they're protecting and what they may still need.

Over time, it becomes easier to recognize what feels true, what feels like a should, what you need, and what you actually want.

Two paths. The same invitation: come home to yourself.

Somatic Coaching + Parts Work

You may understand your patterns and still find yourself caught in them.

Through somatic coaching and IFS-informed parts work, we'll explore what's happening underneath those patterns so you can reconnect with your body, meet yourself with more compassion, and build deeper trust in yourself and your choices.

Psychedelic Preparation + Integration

A psychedelic experience can open a powerful doorway, but the medicine isn't the destination.

Whether you're preparing for a journey or integrating one you've already had, our work helps you approach the experience with intention, listen to what emerges, and bring those insights into the way you actually live.

Hi, I'm Glenda.

Glenda Hoon Russell, trauma-informed somatic coach helping people-pleasers heal from burnout

Helping You Hear and Trust Yourself

I'm a somatic coach who uses IFS-informed parts work, but more than anything, I believe you are the expert on you.

I don't believe healing comes from someone else giving you the right answer. It happens when you learn to listen to yourself differently and meet what you find with curiosity.

I'll ask questions, slow you down when your mind wants to race ahead, invite you into your body, and help you get curious about the parts of yourself you've spent years trying to change.

My job is to help you hear yourself more clearly.

MORE ABOUT ME

What begins to change when you start trusting yourself?

It often shows up in ordinary moments: catching yourself before following a familiar spiral, making a decision without spending hours questioning it, or realizing you actually know what you want.

Then one day you look back and realize you're moving through your life differently.

“Instead of trying to push through or ‘fix’ things, I learned to listen to myself with more compassion and clarity. Glenda’s somatic and parts-aware approach helped me make connections I hadn’t seen before, and I began showing up with more calm, groundedness, and self-trust. It helped me shift from reacting to life to responding with intention.”
