My name is Gillian Yuan. In a former life, I was a nurse and Lactation Consultant for 14 years, specializing in maternal, infant and child health in the community. I transitioned out of nursing to fill the gaps for Moms that the healthcare system was unable to fulfill. I am also an eating psychology coach and am a constant student. Currently, I enjoy learning about the mind-body connection through somatics, so I can support my mom-clients with processing deep emotions that often get silenced by society. With my background in nursing and health care, I bring non-judgemental coaching along with compassion and a deep understanding of the challenges that the transitions of motherhood bring. I also have personal experience with the challenges of the transitions of motherhood, as a mother to a son, a wife, and a dog-mom. I look forward to working with you in your matrescence journey!
I work with clients individually and in groups both in-person and on-line. My tip for starting out in this process is to start with being kind to yourself, and recognize all that you have overcome to get to where you are now. I'm excited to meet with you!
