A Bit About Myself

Hi, I’m Eva Cool, a Life Coach Practitioner and Certified Breathwork Guide.

After living through an entire decade of tragedy after tragedy, consumed by pain and disappointment, I had to choose, drown in the pain or allow it shape me. I chose the latter. Not only shape me, but to utilize the darkest experiences of my life to empower and inspire people like you.

Here’s my story:

I grew up in an immigrant family as the youngest of 9. Yes, 9 kids. Being provided for meant, having food on the table and a roof over our head. Love and connection were never spoken of in our home. Interestingly enough, that seemed to suffice until I found myself in a decade of tragedy after tragedy…. Losing my oldest sister in a car accident in 2005, my parents, brother, 2 nephews and a niece in another car accident in 2009, and a brain cancer diagnosis for my former husband in 2012. My world and soul were shattered.

In the midst of my darkest moments, I began to realize, I had no foundation of love or connection to myself. I had lived my entire life through the lens of other people’s beliefs and expectations. I had no idea who I was. How was I supposed to love myself enough to find a reason to keep going?!

Sound familiar?

Through out my healing process I tried so many ‘things,’ although many were beneficial in certain aspects, nothing impacted me the way regulating my nervous system did. After adding tools to regulate my nervous system into my healing journey, I began to feel different in all aspects. Emotionally, mentally and physically. Feeling the weight lift with each session, I realized I could not keep this to myself. I had to share it with as many people as possible.

Having studied sociology and psychology, my greatest learnings and connections have been from the methods and teachings of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Stephen Porges and Dr. Peter Levine, through Compassionate Inquiry, the Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing. And of course, many others in the field practicing mind and body connection.

My most profound teacher of all, I must say, was living through it all, day in and day out. I practice from a place of having been there, not from a place of knowing it all. Creating space for you to connect to yourself and those around you. Leading to a life of purpose and maximum potential, regardless of your past.

Our breath is a simple but profound tool underestimated by many. Come breathe with me.

With love, healing and hope,

Eva
