Passionate Advocate for Women's Wellbeing
and Intimacy Coach
I’m Magdalene, a Somatica trained Relationship & Intimacy Coach, Registered Nurse, Ayurvedic Counselor, Dancer, and Educator. For over 25 years, my life's work has revolved around enhancing Women's Wellbeing, from conception to all stages of life. My mission is to amplify women's voices, promote sexual liberation, and support mental health across the lifespan.
My Journey
I began as a childbirth educator and labor doula, immersing myself in the birth world and completing my midwifery education. With a Master's level study in community health education, I later transitioned to nursing, practicing as a home visitor for new parents and pediatrics. From breastfeeding guidance to pediatric hospice care, I’ve supported couples through intimate moments with expertise and compassion.
Professional Expertise
For the past seven years, I managed 5 Family Child Health programs across three counties, educating and supporting a team of skilled nurses while maintaining relationships with my own patients. My role involved extensive mental health and trauma training, conflict resolution, and mediation, equipping me to handle delicate conversations with empathy.
Attachment Theory and Relationships
My deep understanding of attachment theory has shaped my approach to relationships. It's not just about the bond between mother and child but extends to all human connections. This expertise allows me to coach individuals on strengthening their relationships and enhancing intimacy.
Community Involvement and Values
Based in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, I collaborate closely with local service systems, medical establishments, and mental health providers. I have a thorough understanding of community resources and how they can act as a buffer for the stressors of life, creating space for love and affection.
I am deeply committed to racial justice, supporting and amplifying the voices of the LGBTQ+ community, and raising cultural awareness. I believe in the power of listening and creating spaces for others to speak, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued.
Personal Passion
In my downtime, you’ll find me teaching Bellydance classes and performing around New England. I practice Ayurveda, enjoy laughing and dancing with my big family, and cherish the beautiful surroundings of St. Johnsbury, Vermont.
Warmly,
Magdalene
