About Me

My Practice

I’m privileged to share my journey, rooted in health and wellness. Over time, I’ve developed a transformative practice that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. My focus is guiding diverse individuals to craft purposeful, creative, and more effortless lives. The numerous success stories speak to the powerful impact of personalized guidance and tailored coaching.

Since 2007, I’ve assisted over one thousand clients on their paths to optimal well-being. Rooted in a profound understanding of the whole person, complemented by diverse training, I thrive in empathetically connecting with individuals. My life’s calling is to contribute to the transformation of lives by prioritizing inward attention and fostering a connection to one’s source.

My approach revolves around heart and soul-centered holistic nursing care and coaching, emphasizing both Well-Being (present state) and Well-Becoming (the process of self-actualization). Explore more in the blog. I see myself as a catalyst, jumpstarting a lifelong journey of awakening from within.

What sets my practice apart is my role as a “bridge” between the known and unknown, seamlessly integrating physical science with the ethereal Soul. Drawing from a dynamic and unique background, along with a philosophy rooted in holistic and mindfulness-based living, I offer a rich toolkit and a safe container for individuals to explore their potential.

My diverse approaches encompass mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects, tailored to inspire individuals to elevate their lives. I create a compassionate space for clients to unwrap their layers, heal, and challenge limiting beliefs. With a track record of success, I combine personal growth experiences with a customized mind-body-spirit toolkit to meet clients where they are, initiating their journey of self-discovery and conscious evolution.

As your compassionate guide, my aim is to illuminate the light within you, enabling you to see it in yourself and actualize your life dreams.

My Story

Relationship Coaching by Abigail Bruce: Expert guidance to enhance your relationships and foster personal growth. - Abigail Mind Body Soul

My journey began in a family of healers, nurses, doctors, and teachers. My passion to understand people of all cultures, religions and histories of our humanity lead me initially on a pursuit of anthropology and archaeology at UC Berkeley, I catapulted into the world of law, business development and investor relationships for biofuel companies feeling the fears of finances, student debt and the pressures of society. Throughout “Spirit” kept calling.  After a few unfulfilling years I was guided to return back to my familial roots as an intuitive healer. A transformative path – working as a massage therapist, hypnotherapist, and coach. Here, I honed the nuances of my intuitive and empathic skills.

Driven by an intrinsic desire to understand health and the human body at a deeper level, I pursued further education to become a nurse and Adult Nurse Practitioner at UCSF, specializing in integrative mind-body care and primary care. Seeking more depth, I gained mental health clinical experience, providing intake, assessments and med management in psychiatric mental health supporting psychiatrists and collaborating with psychologists and MFTs in outpatient clinics in the Bay Area and tele-psych.  

It was in psychiatric nursing that I continued to get the calling “return to spirit” and it underscored the need for holistic and integrative models of well-being alongside traditional models of care. Rather than just treating, I began to see deep inner healing – sovereignty as a critical element of gold-standard care. A mind-body-spirit practice has allowed me to support and teach many in awakening to their inner guidance, their inner joy, play, higher consciousness and to remember who we are at the core and our connection to the universe at large. 

My commitment to continuous learning and additional certifications led colleagues to encourage me to establish my own practice centered on mind-body-spirit integration, healing, and coaching. And now, after nearly 2 decades of teaching, leading ceremonies and learning from my clients as a student of life, I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your path to well-being. 

With love, Abigail

I can’t thank, Abigail enough for the impact she’s had on my life. When I first started seeing her, I was struggling deeply with the loss of my sister and felt overwhelmed by grief and the obstacles that came with it. Through her compassion, patience, and guidance, she helped me heal emotionally and start rebuilding my life.

Most importantly, she taught me how to truly love myself and become a stronger, better version of who I am. Her support has been life-changing, and I’m so grateful for the safe space she created for me to grow, heal, and rediscover hope.

I wholeheartedly recommend Abigail to anyone who is looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and helps you transform your life.

Abigail is not your typical type of therapist who just listens and try’s to give you some recommendations. She helps you see the good in the bad and really knows how to create calm in the chaos of one’s mind. After every session I just feel so much more lighter and mentally clear. She always has great suggestions and really tries to understand you as an individual and what you need. I have been with her for almost a year and it’s been truly an amazing and uplifting journey.
Abigail is amazing on all fronts. I started seeing her a year ago for insomnia. I intended to have a few sessions, but ended up seeing her for a year! Her presence is both loving and strong. She has so much wisdom and care to share with her clients, and the world. I highly recommend working with her. It's worth every penny.

I started seeing Abigail during the uncertain times of Covid. It was the best decision of my life. Not only does her sessions help me break through certain mental barriers I had created for myself, but her hypnosis helps relax my mind and I feel more refreshed afterwards. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for some guidance.

I’ve been working with Abigail for over 8 years. Her coaching has had such a positive impact on my life since I was 18. It was an honor to have her as our officiant at our wedding this year. She put together a beautiful ceremony that I’ll cherish forever. I loved how she incorporated elements of my Jewish heritage, nature, spiritualism, and all with her special flair. Everyone came to me afterwards and said how great of an officiant she was.

Abigail concocted an incredible bridal circle ceremony for me and my closest girlfriends on the morning of my wedding. This bridal ceremony made all the difference for me on my wedding day, providing plenty of grounding and a release for my nerves and emotion. She brought in the elements, the directions, chimes, and sage, and we all pulled cards and mine was Release. The striking relevance of that card was just like the poignancy of Abigail’s words and soothing voice. I loved being held by her presence and the way she led everyone to join our circle. My sister even mentioned that she was doubtful at first but found herself totally moved. Each member of the circle said a few words and also took a few moments to write notes to me, which would have been very hard to ask on my own. If you are looking for someone to lean on emotionally and spiritually in preparation for an important transition, Abigail will not disappoint. She is truly a priestess and we all absolutely need this kind of ceremony.
