About Sacred Soil & Soul

Hi, I’m Gabby — Founder of Sacred Soil & Soul Embodied Coaching LLC, LSW, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, RYT, Usui Fire Reiki Master and Shamanic Reiki Practitioner. Before the idea of Sacred Soil & Soul took shape, I started my own personal journey of embodiment when introduced to Vinyasa Yoga in 2003. I loved learning how to link breath with body and movement. At the same studio I was introduced to Zen Meditation and the Oneness Blessing, a beautiful energy healing practice. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was so disconnected from my body that I had no clue what was happening. All I knew was I liked it, and over time I’ve learned that this was the start of my journey of embodiment.

In 2018 I connected with Dana Hot Yoga, a yoga studio in Bala Cynwyd offering a work exchange program. The program allowed students to volunteer work hours for the studio, and in exchange receive free yoga classes. It was a community that deeply rooted my yoga practice, and when their 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training was offered I signed up without hesitation. After completing the course I decided to explore yoga teaching, and there was an abundance of teachers in the community; then two years later the COVID 19 pandemic hit, which led to Dana Hot Yoga having to close its for good.

For years I hadn’t been happy with my job and knew things needed to change, I just wasn’t sure if teaching yoga was the path for me. So after reaching out to my support system, I was encouraged to commit to exploring different career paths; the following year I explored the Arts, Culinary School, and eventually landed on a course in Health Coaching. The program encouraged internal listening, and a trust in the flow, and choosing to consciously tune into these skills made me feel alive. So after completing the program I decided to leave my position as a Social Worker to become a successful Health Coach; However, a year into my coaching career finances became tight, and I started to reconsider following my dreams. Around the same time a friend reached out and connected me with the private therapy practice she’d been working for at the time. There was an ease to the interview, and with the ability to continue supporting others through the use of intuition, I decided to take the leap.

While working in private practice I felt drawn to learn practices in: Somatic Embodiment, Emotional Regulation Strategies, Inner Child Work, Attachment and Parts Work informed practices. I also learned more about Yoga, Meditation, and Reiki. Reiki has been one of my greatest teachers when it comes to embodiment. Whenever I work with Reiki energy I am grounded in my body, and experience a deep felt sense of calm and Spirits presence. Because of this, in 2022 I became Usui Fire Reiki I & II Certified and by 2024 I went for my Reiki III Certification.

The following year I was led to work with a Shamanic Reiki Practitioner and with permission from an Ancient Lineage based in Guatemala, I was trained in Shamanic Reiki I & II. For me Shamanic Reiki has been the doorway to teachings in Animism and Earth Reconnection. Through these teachings I was led to study additional embodiment practices in 2026, including: Fascial Unwinding and the Trauma Releasing Exercise (TRE), as total embodiment is a deeply holistic practice.

Through all of these teachings it has become abundantly clear that combining these practices are vital for total embodiment, and this is missing from the field of psychotherapy. And as Spirit has nudged me to weave together Evidenced-Based Practices, Energetic and Ancestral Lineage Healing, and Earth Reconnection, Sacred Soil & Soul Embodied Coaching LLC was born. If you too feel the call to experience total embodiment, then join me. I would be honored to work with you!

  • Although largely supportive for mental, physical and spiritual healing, coaching is not licensed psychotherapy, medical advice, or legal counsel. If coaching participants need mental, physical or emotional health support, we ask that you seek out the additional necessary services for your health and wellbeing.

  • No, you do not need to have experienced trauma in order to benefit from our trauma informed coaching programs. By working with Sacred Soil & Soul you will be supported by a trauma informed practitioner, so our work will be explored through a trauma informed lens. What this means is that you as the participant will get to explore your personal healing through a slow, safely-paced experience guided by what your mind, body and spirit innately tells us that it needs in each session.

  • We offer both virtual and in person sessions! For those who are local to Pottstown, you can join us at our in-person location (which will be provided upon enrollment in one of our coaching programs). While those who are not local, or who have difficulty accessing our location in Pottstown, we offer virtual sessions as well. We just ask that for all virtual sessions participants have a private space in order to keep our work sacred.

    *Some workshops are held in a hybrid format, so participants may have the option to attend virtually, or in-person. When offered, hybrid workshops will be indicated throughout workshop advertisement.

  • We do! Here at Sacred Soil & Soul we offer a variety of affordable options for our coaching programs. For one thing, we offer payment plans for all of our programs (except for our monthly offerings). For more information see details in the section titled “Services.” Also, we accept Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and Health Spending Accounts (HSAs) — an alternate form of payment which can help with affordability as well.

    If for any reason our affordable payment options do not work for you, we also offer workshops at a lower group rate throughout the year. Workshops are an opportunity for participants to learn some of the techniques offered throughout our coaching programs.
