Hi sweet soul,
I’m Brenda. I’m a Certified Life Coach, Healing Facilitator, & Therapist-in-training.
MY PUROSE IN LIFE & WORK
“I believe my purpose is to guide others in reclaiming their power, healing deeply, and living a life of intention and alignment.”
I’ve always been the friend you trust with your deepest vulnerabilities, the one who can hold space for your tears and laughter all at once. I’m passionate about helping others navigate life’s twists and turns, and it’s what led me to where I am today
Online I like to share about the lessons, insights, and tools that have helped me along my spiritual and personal development journey in hopes of making someone else’s path easier.
But my life wasn’t always this way.
The confidence, purpose, and deep connection I now embody were hard-earned gifts, born from years of struggle, healing, and transformation.
I grew up between the U.S. and Mexico, raised by a (mostly) single mother whose unwavering love inspired my relentless desire to succeed. But that desire came at a cost.
My childhood and teenage years were marked by chaos, insecurity, and fear, setting the stage for severe anxiety, depression, and PTSD in early adulthood. In my pursuit of success, I lost touch with myself.
I was on the path to earning a Ph.D. in Chemistry, only to realize I was trapped in a career that felt misaligned and unfulfilling. Following society’s definition of success, I silenced the inner voice urging me toward something greater. The weight of graduate school, unresolved trauma, and a life out of alignment became too overwhelming…
But those years became the turning point in my journey.
THE TURNING POINT…
The start of my healing and growth journey.
With the help of psychotherapy and spirituality, I became sober, confronted the unresolved pain of my past, and reconnected with who I truly was.
I began to shed the false identities and expectations I had carried for so long. For the first time, I understood what freedom meant—freedom inside and out.
So I leapt.
With an M.S. in Chemistry in hand and a heart full of dreams, I walked away from the career I spent years building and started over. I dove headfirst into the world of healing, spirituality, and personal transformation.
TAKING THE LEAP…
In 2021, I followed my heart and stepped fully into my calling.
I took a bold step and launched my online coaching business. Within just six months, I built a vibrant community of 30,000 followers and a thriving practice that allowed me to fully step into my purpose. But my journey didn’t stop there.
I immersed myself in the spiritual and ancestral healing traditions of Meso-American cultures, spending several months in Mexico studying with various mentors. I then traveled to the Amazon, where I worked as a plant medicine facilitator under the guidance of Shipibo healers for nearly a year.
To better support others on their healing journeys, I enrolled in a Clinical Psychology graduate program specializing in Couples and Family Therapy. My clinical work now focuses on systemic healing, trauma recovery, and emotional regulation—supporting individuals, children, and families in some of the most meaningful, transformative chapters of their lives.
Today, I blend evidence-based therapeutic training with spiritual wisdom to guide others toward emotional healing, purpose, and self-trust. My work is trauma-informed, soul-aligned, and grounded in the belief that true healing honors both the science and the sacred.
HERE AND NOW…
Your greatest transformation is always within reach.
Today, I’m living a life rooted in alignment, purpose, and deep fulfillment, a life I once dreamed of during my own healing journey. My work is more than personal transformation; it’s about creating ripples that awaken others to their power, purpose, and potential.
I’ve built a career blending spirituality, psychology, and ancestral wisdom, all while honoring the beauty of motherhood, family, and community. Through mentorships, retreats, workshops, and coaching, I’ve guided countless indivicuals toward emotional healing, clarity, and self-leadership. Witnessing their transformations has been one of my greatest honors.
Becoming a mother has deepened my capacity to hold space and reminded me of the power of nurturing the next generation through holistic and compassionate support. Whether you’re here to heal, grow, or simply reconnect with yourself, know that everything you need is already within you. The first step is yours to take.
In Loving Service,
Brenda Ontiveros
