LIFE COACHING

Ginny is a transformational facilitator and life coach specializing in major life phases (motherhood, relationships, career change, personal awakening). Through teaching in SF Bay Area high schools, practicing as a birth and postpartum doula, and studying somatic and transpersonal psychology focusing on early and late life stages, she has a deep understanding of human development, personal healing, and growth. Ginny has always been captivated by humanity, particularly infancy, early life, as well as death, and delights in the intersection of evidence-based developmental and learning theories and holistic life philosophies. With her second baby in tow, she completed the Steiner-inspired LifeWays Early Childhood Certification in 2013 and then took over and directed San Francisco’s oldest parent resource center, Natural Resources, which she transformed into the Natural Resources All Families Foundation, 501c3. She worked as President of the Board of the non-profit and as a parent educator and coach while training for two years in facilitation and transformational coaching.

 

She’s worked exclusively as a transformational group facilitator, parent educator, and life coach for the past five years while also parenting her three amazing humans. Ginny lives in Nevada City, Ca.

Midwifery is one of the oldest professions. Traditionally, midwives didn’t only catch babies, they were community healers, shamans, spiritual counselors, and herbalists. It is in this ancient scope of practice that Chanti works, supporting parents, babies, individuals, and groups. 

 

Chanti began her journey into the healing arts in 1995 and is a midwife, advanced prenatal, birth and attachment therapy practitioner, somatic experiencing® practitioner; holistic pelvic care® practitioner; hypnobirthing childbirth education instructor, yoga teacher; massage therapist specializing in biodynamic craniosacral therapy, acupressure, zero balancing, jin shin jyutsu, and chi nei tsang; infant massage instructor; lactation specialist; ancestral lineage healing practitioner; frequency specific microcurrent practitioner; and western herbalist. 

 

Chanti is committed to supporting families from preconception through postpartum in preventing and healing from trauma, and making sense of deeply impactful fertility, pregnancy, birthing and postpartum experiences. Chanti also is passionate in supporting reproductive trauma healing (pregnancy loss, abortion, and reproductive health). 

 

Chanti also specializes in supporting birth workers and health care professionals who are wanting support around burnout and self-care, healing from vicarious trauma, or their own early imprints, and loves to teach skills classes to birth workers. 

 

In the past few years Chanti’s work has naturally evolved into supporting parents in the early years of parenting, especially now that she is a mother. Chanti is a solo mom by choice to a terrifically spirited 5 year old boy and has experienced first hand the joys and challenges of parenting in today’s world.

 

Chanti supports families and individuals here in Grass Valley/Nevada City and globally via online sessions and offerings.

Welcome! As a holistic emotional coach  based in Grass Valley, California, I'm dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey of personal growth and transformation. With both in-person and online sessions available, I create accessible space for healing and development, wherever you are.

​

My approach draws from extensive training in the Satya Method—an integrative approach to emotional coaching that combines Presence, Language, Body Awareness, Developing Listening, and Cultivating Compassion. Through this method, I guide clients toward inner freedom, heightened self-awareness, and the full expression of their strengths. I treat childhood traumas and their influence on today's life, helping clients understand and transform these deep-rooted patterns. Together, we bridge the gap between desires and reality, getting precise about how you want to live your life, who you want to be, and what you want to happen.

​

Building on my foundation in occupational therapy and movement therapy from Haifa University, I provide compassionate guidance through life's transitions and challenges. My toolkit includes the Satya Method, emotional-somatic therapy, yoga, Bach flower remedies, Reiki, and psychological astrology—all working together to support your personal growth journey.

​

A cornerstone of my practice is the Clearway session - a specialized 90-minute preparation session designed for significant events. These focused sessions help you:

​

- Process emotions and expectations around upcoming events

- Identify and work through internal barriers

- Develop confidence and practical coping strategies

- Approach important moments with greater clarity and calm

 

Whether you're preparing for birth, a career milestone, or other significant event,  my Clearway sessions provide the emotional tools and support needed to move forward with confidence.

 

I specialize in:

- Emotional regulation and mastery in challenging situations

- Processing and releasing difficult emotions, including fear and anger

- Birth preparation and support

- Life transition guidance

- Building stronger family relationships

- Finding balance between personal and professional life

 

As a mother of three and someone who has navigated significant life changes, including international relocation, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my practice. My approach emphasizes the importance of "relationships before results," and I create a safe, nurturing space for personal transformation.
