Touch Centric Coaching For Embodied Empowerment with Victoria Angel Heart
Do You Need To Unwind Your Mind?
If you're like most of my clients, you have a stressful job. You're a founder, an investor, an executive or a technology professional.
You're doing work that is changing the world, but in the mean time you're overworked, under-appreciated and feeling burned out.
Your personal life has been suffering, and you feel lonely, isolated, and disconnected.
Most likely, you’ve found yourself falling into bad habits, losing touch with who you used to be, and spinning your wheels, stuck in your thoughts most of the time.
Maybe you feel more distracted than usual, or like you have a harder time staying focused or getting things done.
Maybe your sex life has suffered and you're not feeling as much pleasure as you'd like.
Maybe you’ve put on some pandemic pounds, found yourself suffering from insomnia, or began to experience anxiety and depression like never before.
The pandemic stressed your nervous system and put you into a longer, deeper state of fight or flight than you may have ever experienced, and you’re not alone.
What if you could carve out time in your busy schedule to slow down, be nurtured, and listen to the still, small, wise voice inside of you?
What if the way to make better decisions was to get quiet and listen to your heart and intuition, letting your body guide you instead of being trapped in the chaos of competing thoughts and never ending to-do lists.
It's time to remember that you are a human BEing instead of a human DOing things all the time. You deserve a chance to just let yourself BE, to reconnect to your true nature, and to live from your heart.
You're changing the world with your work, and the world needs you to be connected to yourself so you can listen to your intuition and speak from your heart.
The time is now to calm your nervous system and learn how to work with it as you release old tension, trauma and stories that are being held in your body and tap into your intuition and inner guidance system.
I’m here to hold you and nurture you as you Unwind Your Mind and move into a state of embodied empowerment.
The Touch Centric Coaching Model
You've probably tried traditional talk therapy or worked with a coach. Have you ever wanted them to hold you and felt frustrated that their scope of practice left them unable to give you the touch you needed when you needed it most?
You're used to sitting across from them in a chair, or on Zoom.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could snuggle up and just relax while you talk about your life, process big feelings, or undergo transformative practices?
For the last five years, Victoria has refined her unique, touch-based approach to coaching as she's spent thousands of hours working 1:1 with clients.
What makes Victoria qualified to touch you?
*Certified Cuddlist with 5 years of platonic touch experience
*Certified in Somatic Attachment Therapy
*Trauma-informed EFT training
*Highly trained in Wheel of Consent work, including mentorship by Dr. Betty Martin and attending multiple Like A Pro trainings
*Trained in warm water professional cuddling and aquatic therapy
*Will be completing training in the Tamura Method of touch and energetic bodywork in Fall 2023
What if you have some reservations about touch?
You're not alone! Many clients come feeling touch-deprived, anxious about receiving touch, or have fear from past trauma.
Victoria is highly trained and very attuned, and believes in moving at the pace of trust.
Clients initiate all touch, and are taught Victoria's signature Inner GPS practice to get clear on when, how and if they want to be touch.
All touch, unless specifically done in the context of an embodied intimacy practice with pre-defined boundaries and limits, is always platonic.
Sometimes arousal happens, and it's welcomed and celebrated, as are all other bodily functions. Victoria can teach and guide the movement and dissipation of erotic energy as needed.
How does this work?
Coaching with Victoria takes place in 3-6 month containers that meet approximately 3x monthly for 75-90 minutes, depending on the package selected.
Sessions take place in person in Victoria's magnificent home temple in the Berkeley hills, or they can be done on zoom when you're traveling.

Who is this for?

Men who's touch needs are no longer getting met at home and who want a safe, non-sexual container to receive and be held

Here’s what clients say about working with Victoria
Victoria helped me to actually feel my feelings and stop burying/denying my truth. I recognize my triggers but with her assistance I'm operating at a new frequency. I've found my previously untapped power, and now I can be a kickass CEO, dad and lover.
- Garry
Victoria helped rebuild my vocabulary of sensation and feeling. She provided me the tools to explore and understood the changes in my awareness from her own experiences. I felt safe, I felt understood, and I was always excited to come in and learn more. This experience turned from triage and treatment to an exercise in self love, and now I have the tools and the perspective to do so.
- Steven
Through our work together my anxiety has reduced significantly and I feel more joy and connectedness to myself. I'm actually experiencing periods where the constant anxiety is way lower or even totally gone. I am able to feel more relaxation and ease in my body and the intensity of the stuck energy is way way way less. Corresponding somatic sensations are substantially reduced. I feel amazing!

Working with Victoria changed my life. I know that’s cliche, so let me be more clear. Working with Victoria gave me my confidence back. She helped me to identify and build relationships with my inner voice, which has helped me catch myself when I start thinking too negatively.
She helped me learn to meditate, to be mindful, to make space for what *is* right now, in that moment. She helped me improve my relationships with my family. From my wife, to my kids, to my parents, things are better than they probably ever have been. She helped me realize that I have everything I need already inside me. Once we identified some of my goals and I began taking steps toward them, I started to see that I was going to be able to reach those goals. I saw that it wasn’t impossible. That I was worthy.
She helped me to learn so much about myself and the world around me, that I honestly don’t know how I got this far in life without her teachings. I am happier, healthier, and more optimistic than I can ever remember. And that’s all thanks to Victoria!
