a little bit about abigail
Abigail Bruce,
MS, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, RN, CLC, CHT
(Formerly Abigail Carvalho)
My personal commitment to maintaining balance and energy on all levels gives me the unique ability to help clients find balance within their own lives. I live and embrace this inspiring, integrative and holistic approach and consider myself a coach, counselor, advocate, mentor, wounded healer, teacher, entrepreneur, universal life minister, motivator, fellow journeywoman.
I believe in happiness, health, and balance and that the ability to heal from within is powered through self-care, self-compassion, and empathy. My primary focus is on profound mental, emotional, spiritual and physical transformation through the ability to living in alignment with our inner and outer selves. Self-care is not selfish. In fact, it is often very beneficial to everyone around us.
Since I was a little girl, I have had a tactile and inner sense and knowing what others are feeling. It transcends what is being said or observed, it's an empathic and powerful intuitive knowing. My late mother Mary was also an empath and midwife, she helped me to foster and develop this skill. While I have the training and certifications and draw on this vast knowledge and clinical experience, it is my intuitive empathic sense that is the most precious gift that I share.
My keen intuition for knowing what the whole person needs along with my varied training has allowed me to help hundreds of clients since 2007 thrive and progress on their paths to maintaining optimal well-being. My goal is to help others transform their lives by prioritizing this dedicated inward attention. I am here to jumpstart this lifelong journey of healing from within. My approach is a soul-centered.
A Unique Style for Your Success
My educational credentials includes a Masters of Science, Adult Nurse Practitioner with honors from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and a Bachelors in Anthropology and Archaeology with highest honors from the University of California Berkeley (UCB).
My practice takes an integrative approach based on my intimate knowledge of holistic nursing care, conventional Western nursing, and multiple mind-body-spirit healing modalities. While this practice is coaching, I’m also a nationally accredited ANCC Board Certified Adult Nurse Practitioner and Nationally Accredited AHNCC Board Certified Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse with experience in adult primary care, integrative mental health, and integrative and complementary medicine.
Since 2007, I’ve been certified as a hypnotherapist, holistic life coach, guided imagery meditation practitioner, NLP and EFT tapping practitioner, and intuitive spiritual guidance teacher. I have helped hundreds successfully go through major life transitions, including spiritual awakenings, new parent transitions, conscious relationship changes including conscious uncoupling/divorce, loss/death, union, employment to employment, career changes, moves, and retirement. My talent and passion lie in the interweaving between mind, body, heart and spirit, and helping individuals to develop greater self-awareness of their personal and professional needs and passions and to honor their truths.
More recently, I founded the Queen's Council (a video-based social networking coaching group) to inspire connection and support and for unifying people of like heart and like mind to create lasting friendships. These are not therapy groups but rather supportive, informative, and inspirational groups. I also teach, lead workshops and co-leading transformational spiritual nature retreats.
I’m Scandinavian-British-born, a humbled life student, devoted to evolving consciousness, community focused, a global traveler, nature and animal lover, and I believe in the power of sharing ideas and information and guiding people to heal from within. My deep, spiritual practice is the foundation of my power and center. Within my practice I align with science, mother earth, meta-science, celtic, buddhist, native american, and the divine feminine/ divine masculine philosophies and path. I am an initiate and wear the robe as priestess in the Sacred Rose Lineage Order of the Magdalenes and I'm an ordained minister through Universal Life Church Monastery to offer ceremony and counseling. I spend my free time as a humbled student of life, meditating, laughing, playing, in prayer, enjoying nature, hiking, running, traveling, crafting, having cups of tea with family and friends, and connecting with others of like mind and spirit.
I have years of evaluation and medication management in primary care and mental health collaborating with primary care providers, psychiatrists, and other health professionals. I can help you understand your body, provide preventive health education, coach you through improving your health, quitting smoking, losing weight, breaking unhealthy habits, and understanding medications. I may recommend, and provide you with genetic neurotransmitter testing to assess appropriate evidenced-based and appropriate medication for uncomplicated mood disorders (i.e. anxiety and depression) and MTHFR folic acid deficiency in collaboration with consulting psychiatrists. I also provide complementary and alternative modalities for a non-pharmacological approach and support for discontinuing medications in a safe and clinically suitable way. Collaboration with your primary care provider or other mental health professional is recommended.
Through an immense and challenging awakening and path of enlightenment, I have embraced my calling. My life hasn't been easy and I'm still a humbled student, but I know the path well; so now my passion and life purpose is to teach, guide, and support others through their own awakening times and enlightenment. My mission is to bring forth a light and help you activate and ignite your own light, so you can find your heaven within. As a Priestess and lightworker, I support our communities through these ambiguous times in the history of our world in restoring the world to its original nature as LOVE.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your path!
With love,
Abigail
