Hello! My name is Yvette, dedicated to helping you let go of yearning and begin nurturing yourself, transforming your relationships with self and others, through self-compassion and conscious connection, elevating every aspect of your life personally and professionally.

I am a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and glass artist, with a master’s degree in organizational change management, and author of Living Life in the Meantime®, an arts-based coaching model offering an alternative method for managing personal and professional change.

Chief Creative Officer and Founder of The Glass Room, LLC, offering arts-based, health and wellness, self-actualization coaching, with added certifications in mental health and emotional intelligence methods, Neurographica, and clinical aromatherapy.

My own story began in early childhood with a unique self-soothing mechanism, gently running my fingertips along my forearm, to manage fear, stress and anxiety, regulating my emotions.

It was intuitive, simple, deeply effective and the beginning of my self-nurturing journey.

Over time, that expanded into climbing, running, immersion in nature, conscious breathing and mindfulness practices. But as life added complexity, chronic stress dulled those innate tools, and I found myself reaching outside for relief. That phase was a short-lived, and a powerful learning experience.

It accelerated a return inward, and launched a lifelong path of self-discovery, emotional-regulation, and self-compassion.

Today, I continue practicing and coaching the transformational power of arts-based, self-actualization and multi-sensory healing: mindfulness, breath-work, expressive arts, glass art, aromatherapy, journaling, gardening, herbalism, cooking, photography, poetry, and the most powerful tool of all: listening deeply to myself in silence, through creative expression.

Professionally, my roots began in fintech, navigating the high-pressure worlds of performance, process, and people, for nearly 30 years. I led strategic transformations for Fortune Global 500, with over $60M+ in business impact and a 98% success rate. But behind the performance metrics, I experienced, fatigue, disconnection, and misalignment.

So, I owned my shift and kept moving. I now integrate emotional intelligence, behavioral science, evidence and arts-based, trauma-informed, health and wellness modalities to support growth that is sustainable, for myself hand my clients.

Your emotions will shift when you shift your emotions.
