Are You Thriving?
The clinical requirements determining life or death are the existence of a beating heart and oxygen circulating through our lungs.
How do you want to experience your life? Do you want to be clinically alive or do you want to be THRIVING?
I believe connection is the key to a whole-hearted, thriving existence. It's a basic need next to the air we breathe and the beating of our hearts.
Our need to connect is so important we often compromise the true essence of who we are and how we allow ourselves to be seen by others. We do this to fit in, to stay connected. However, in doing so, many of us lose our true selves and then we fail to thrive.
My passion and purpose as a coach is to guide you on the journey of reawakening, reviving, and evolving you!
The foundation of every relationship you have with family & friends, career, food, health, money, sex, environment, creativity and your higher self is created from your internal relationship with you. To be fully alive, thriving, and connected with others (even God/Source/Universe), one must make the relationship to self the most important element in your life. Your wants, dreams, and desires matter. When they are fully embraced and expressed, you are a gift to the world.
If you're ready to take that journey, I'd love to be your guide in a life-changing transformation.
I am a quiet and shy by nature person who values interconnectedness and embraces connection with others. I am originally from Bulgaria and moved to Denver, Colorado in 2005 where together with my husband David we are raising a funny and likable son.
I earned a Master's in Counseling and Bachelor's in Psychology and spent 15+ years working in social work settings and making an impact in the community. I held positions in leadership, direct client service, and community collaboration. During my professional career I gained broad experiences in assessing program operations to develop successful strategies and creative solutions for advancing community outcomes. Through my work, I gained experience in leading collaborative committee initiatives within diverse community settings to determine strategic processes and programs to increase well-being.
My career in social work gave me so many opportunities to make an impact in the community, to see the strength in others and to lead in the direction of building up a safe and stable life for everyone. Being a social worker fulfilled so many of my dreams! Having said that, work also tested my world view and several times I lived through burnout. My solution - I apply my grit to everything that I do. Living though Pandemic encouraged me to create this business where I can continue my passion to support others. At the same time, I expand my service, remain full of life and available to make the change I want to see in the world.
While each project is unique, my goal is to set you up for success by focusing on creative solutions to develop your style and to empower growth in your organization. When we work together, I will support your inner personal growth so you can increase resilience, boost your confidence and feel connected while you are making progress towards your goals.
I can help you to increase the confidence in your abilities, by embracing your power to get unstuck and move forward successfully so you can live a life full of joy.
Whether your needs are to keep strong and steady motivation to achieve your goals, learn how to lead your team remotely, build positive relationships, increase collaboration, balance work with well-being, I will help you to make the impact you want in the community.
I help leaders to balance bottom lines with compassion, allowing you to negotiate and collaborate effectively so that you can instantly build stronger teams and establish a nurturing culture.
I am trained in Compassionate Communication model and will engage you in a conversation to learn about your priorities in resolving conflict, time management, culture building, developing talent, then help you craft a plan in each area while focusing on innovative solutions.
I show entrepreneurs like you how to establish healthy boundaries, discover new ways to bring more vitality in life so that you can open up to your full life potential.
Testimonials:
~I really loved working with Bodi!! She created a safe space where I could share things I don't regularly share with others. Through her attentiveness and calming presence, she created a supportive environment where I was able to discuss many limiting beliefs. She created clarity and awareness around these beliefs which were undermining my confidence in creating a business. Bodi helped me dig deeper on these issues and uncover different strategies to counter them. More importantly, she helped me shift my thinking and awareness in a way that was empowering and allowed me to move forward with more confidence.~
Alex Ornelas, Ventura CA
~When I think of the type of coach I want to work with, I think of someone who can hold space for me and all of the (what feels like) craziness I have going on in my head. Bodi is just that coach. She is supportive while letting me create my own goal posts for success in all of my endeavours. All I can think of is the saying, "You're in good hands" - which is exactly how I feel being coached by Bodi. ~
Shealyn Nosal, Management Consultant at Propeller
~Bodi is a great coach and I highly recommend her. Bodi is easy to talk to and created a calm but action-oriented atmosphere, which is exactly what I wanted. I made a ton of progress on a touchy issue and her guidance was critical to helping me get there.~

I completed my coach certification with Coach Training World. I also completed the certification as a Transformation Leader and Trauma-Informed Coach with CTW. I am also currently obtaining my Masters's Degree in Applied Neuroscience from King's College in London. My passion as a mother of two boys is providing children with love, kindness, compassion, and tools to grow up without trauma or deep rooted emotional issues. I want the next generation of children to have a shift in brain and nervous system balance to develop as more integrated human beings. In order to do so, parents, educators, and caregivers have to process their own trauma and become integrated and balanced emotionally to be able to guide, lead, and love children.
My areas of focus and expertise in coaching are:
- Parents-to-be or new parents
- Couples
- Men
- School Educators, Sports Coaches, Caregivers
In all of these areas, the goal is to work on emotional and communication patterns to improve the quality of communication in relationships, especially those affecting the wellbeing and emotional growth of children.
