mentor + space-holder, cat mom, cacao addict, beach bum, and an overall imperfect human on a mission to live with more bravery, authenticity, and connection.

I know what I am “supposed” to write here.

Any business coach will tell you that your About page should feature your transformation story and what makes you the right person to guide someone on theirs.

But I don’t like doing what I am supposed to.

I believe in consulting my body, letting my heart and intuition lead the way, and making up my own rules.

I also believe in energy, and I know that if you landed on this page then you are probably sick of doing everything you are “supposed” to do too.

Every cell in my body vibrates with the belief that not only is there nothing wrong with you, but that you are powerful beyond measure. That the magic and medicine contained within your own body is too much for our minds to even comprehend.

And I have a calling to unlock as much of that magic and medicine within myself as possible, so that I can gently guide you to do the same.

I’ve been called a mystic, a poet, a lightworker, a healer, a big sister, and a fairy godmother. Honestly, labels and titles don’t interest me.

What interests me is that more people in this world wake up to the truth of who they are at a soul level, because living and serving in our fullest authenticity is our purpose on Earth.

And I will do everything I can and use every tool I’ve got to help you create freedom and expression in your life.

One of the first things we dive into in coaching is our values— establishing both what they are and how we are committed to living them every day. Here are my business values and commitments to you:

Diversity, equity, and inclusion statement

I am committed to the mission of helping people heal, grow, empower, and fully belong to themselves so that they can live their most authentic and liberated lives through deep and vulnerable connection with themselves and in community. The tools, coaching, breathwork, and perspectives I share are intended to be used by people of all body sizes and identities, abilities, ages, cultural backgrounds, races, ethnicities, classes, sexual orientations, and/or religious affiliations. My work is directed toward female-identifying folks, but I welcome the contributions and perspectives of people of all gender identifications. 

This statement is a public commitment to this mission and my values. I identify as a white, cisgendered, and able-bodied woman of European heritage occupying land stolen from the Tequesta people, now known as Miami. My pronouns are she/her.

I believe that as we humans practice deep connection to ourselves and others, wake up to the pervasive patriarchal and white supremacist programming that has influenced our lives, and give ourselves permission to live from our deepest authenticity, we can create a cultural shift toward a more compassionate, equitable, and collaborative world for all people. This shift would move us toward a space of collective compassion and deep oneness that would eradicate the crisis of loneliness and belonging. My work revolves around sovereignty, self-worth, and personal power, which all require an unraveling of the structural beliefs of our socialization, our conditioned beliefs, and our cultural programming so that we can stand in personal and collective liberation.  

The core values of my life and business include diversity, equity, + inclusion, intimacy + connection, service, and freedom. I believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion precedes them all because the others are not possible without it. In both my individual and group work, I believe that growth and healing is enhanced by the creativity, empowerment, and understanding that comes from experiencing the perspectives of different cultures, backgrounds, and realities. And I seek partners, collaborators, and clients who share this belief.

The tools, coaching, and insight that I share is a result of my own lived experience, and I acknowledge my own limitation in being able to represent the experiences of those with marginalized identities. I also acknowledge that my own dismantling of inherent bias is an ongoing process, and I commit to continuing my education, learning in public, and growing in understanding and awareness.

I recognize that people often face socio-economic barriers to receiving coaching support, so I offer partial and full scholarships to all events, as well as a sliding scale payment system for 1-on-1 coaching for folks with historically marginalized and targeted identities. To express your interest or to be informed of when these opportunities are available, please contact me here. 

If you have any questions or suggestions for this statement please share them with me, you can do that by emailing me directly at mandy@mandysciacchitano.com.
