Coach & Mentor • Break Patterns. Build Freedom.

The person you’re becoming is being held back by the person you had to be.

I help you break the subconscious patterns keeping you stuck, invisible, and playing small — in life and in business.

Ocean horizon

You weren’t built to follow someone else’s blueprint.

You’re smart. You’re capable. You’ve done the work. But somewhere along the way, you started building a life — maybe even a business — based on what you thought you should be doing instead of what’s actually aligned for you.

There’s a version of your life where your work feels like an extension of who you are, not a performance. Where you pursue a vision that’s yours — free from the weight of shame, fear, and other people’s expectations. Where you have the courage to show up exactly as you are, because you finally know who that is.

That version isn’t a fantasy. It’s what becomes available when you stop building from obligation and start building from alignment.
The bridge from knowledge to wisdom

Getting from where you are to where you want to be is a process.

Turning knowledge into wisdom. Moving from knowing to doing. It’s crossing that bridge — through action, consistency, commitment, and the courage to keep showing up — that lands you in new territory.

Most people stay on the side of what they already know, and it leaves them exactly where they are. The ones who change their lives are the ones willing to step onto the bridge.

Freedom is what exists on the other side of your fears.

Most of the limits you’re experiencing aren’t real — they’re subconscious patterns that were installed before you had the ability to choose them. Beliefs about what you deserve. Stories about what’s possible. Fear and shame disguised as “being realistic.”

Finding the courage to show up exactly as you are — to pursue a vision free from shame and fear — that’s the real work. And it’s the work that changes everything: your relationships, your income, your sense of self, and the impact you’re here to make.

Through coaching, hypnotherapy, and NLP, I help you see the patterns, clear them at the subconscious level where they actually live, and build forward on a foundation that’s genuinely yours.

I built someone else’s brand to millions. Now I’m building my own.

For three and a half years, I was the person behind @selfdefensegoat — filming, editing, posting, marketing, building the shop, managing it all. Every platform, from zero. No ad spend, no team. Just strategy and consistency.

When women entrepreneurs started asking me to teach them, I realized the real answer had nothing to do with algorithms. The reason most women hit a ceiling in their business is the same reason they hit one in their lives — they’re building from a blueprint that was never theirs.

Real growth — in business and in life — starts with alignment. Knowing who you are, stripping away what you’re not, and having the courage to build from that truth. I’ve spent twenty years helping people do exactly that. Now I’m in the arena myself — building my own brand and helping other women find their next level. From the inside out.

Freedom and growth
In a world of AI, your only real edge is your authenticity.

Same deep work. Different starting point.

Both paths lead to the same place: a life and business built on who you actually are.

The Business Owner Ready to Find Her Next Level

You’ve built something real but you’ve hit a ceiling. You know there’s a next level for your business and for yourself — but something keeps holding you back from getting there.

We clear what’s in the way — the subconscious beliefs about worth, success, and safety that are capping your growth.

Then we build — your presence, your brand, your strategy. Personal development that drives business development. With the receipts to back it up.
This is me

The Woman Ready to Get Out of Her Own Way

You’re done with the same cycles, the same limits, the same version of yourself that was built for survival. You’re ready to find out who you actually are underneath all of that.

We find the root — the subconscious beliefs driving your patterns, through guided conversation and body awareness.

Then we reshape it — using hypnotherapy and NLP to rewire what we find. The pattern changes because the thing fueling it is gone.
This is me

Three steps to freedom

01

Find the Root

Through guided conversation, we dig into the beliefs, identity, and stories driving your patterns. Your body helps too — tension, resistance, and emotion all point us to exactly where the block lives.

02

Reshape the Pattern

This is where hypnotherapy and NLP come in. We work directly with the subconscious — rewiring the beliefs, dissolving the emotional charges, and releasing what was never yours to carry.

03

Claim Your Power

You learn to take radical responsibility for your life — your relationships, your outcomes, your visibility. You become the cause of your life, not the effect. This is where coaching becomes mentorship.

Here’s the good news: you already have everything you need to find the success you want.

The problem is that for most of us, it’s buried. Underneath a pile of shame, fear, guilt, and pride. Quiet programs running in the back of the mind that we’re so used to we don’t even realize they’re there — and yet they control most of our behavior. They decide what we reach for, what we settle for, and what we never let ourselves try.

But inside of you lies the exact blueprint you need to magnetize your life. The energy to bring your desires to fruition. The clarity to build something that’s genuinely yours.

The dreams you have exist because there is a part of you that knows it’s possible. Where in an alternate timeline, it’s already yours.

My job is to help you close the gap between that version of you and the one sitting here right now. To find the programs, clear them, and let the person underneath finally lead.

Deep, focused, one-on-one work built around you.

I’m in the early stages of building something new — and right now, that means I’m working closely with a small number of clients one-on-one. No group programs, no cookie-cutter curriculum. Just you, me, and the specific work that needs to happen for you to get where you want to go.

Every engagement is custom. We start with a conversation to understand what you’re working toward and what’s in the way. From there, I build a process around your needs — drawing from coaching, hypnotherapy, NLP, and hands-on business strategy depending on what the work requires.

Some clients come to me to break through a personal ceiling. Some come to grow their business. Most find that the two are connected. The work goes wherever it needs to go.

“Working with Liv has been transformative. Her clear direction, rooted in a wealth of experience, guides me through all aspects of marketing — YouTube, email campaigns, Instagram, videography, and copywriting. Beyond her skills, she’s mentally supportive and truly listens, helping me build confidence and co-create a marketing plan for my business that I believe in. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Liv - Coach and Mentor

I’ve spent my life unbecoming everything I never was, so I could finally meet who I actually am.

I’m a coach and mentor with over twenty years working with the mind and body. Certified hypnotherapist. NLP practitioner. Ortho-Bionomy® bodyworker. And the woman who built a social media brand to over 4 million followers from behind the camera.

I’ve walked through my own fire — an alcoholic parent, decades of depression and anxiety, the end of a marriage, loss, raising kids who are now teenagers, and rebuilding after COVID took my thriving practice.

I don’t share that for sympathy. I share it because everything I teach, I’ve lived. That’s how I know what works and what actually sets you free.

Right now, I’m in the arena myself — building my own visible brand, stepping out from behind the camera, and practicing everything I preach. I’m not the professor on the sidelines. I’m in it with you.

What clients say

After one session I have so much clarity about where I’m at and what I need to do next. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you!

— Coaching Client

The session made a tremendous difference! I feel more present and that is everything. I’ve been saying No, firmly. I’ve been taking really good care of me and even forgiving myself while taking more ownership and responsibility. My wisdom is returning.

— Coaching Client

I cannot thank Liv enough for the incredible transformations through Hypnotherapy. She provides a safe environment with her gentle and compassionate approach. Delving into root causes of low self-worth has provided incredible insights and change.
