ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Lindsey Bourne & I’m so glad you found me!

I’m a trauma-informed coach on a mission to support folks navigate the deep waters of relationships and intimacy.

I’m endlessly fascinated by human psychology and the subconscious mind, especially how the latter informs our romantic relationships and experiences. I’ve dedicated my career to helping folks bring awareness to their relational patterns and trauma, disrupt old narratives and limiting self beliefs, and increase their self worth in order to step into emotional sovereignty.

My work stirs up emotional truths, encouraging clients to recognize where they are stuck in order to confront their fears, insecurities, and subconscious wounds, especially in relationships. I help people recognize where they are holding themselves back and guide them toward emotional liberation, self-responsibility, and self-trust.

What makes me truly unique as a couples coach is my Master’s Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology and my clinical training in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT).

I live and work in the Bay Area, and offer my services virtually. In addition to my work here, I facilitate narrative therapy groups at San Quentin for incarcerated veterans who have PTSD, nerd out on old-time music and clawhammer banjo, and spend a lot of time in the trees and hills of Oakland.

✦ MY GENIUS IN relational WORK ✦

Helping you listen to your body’s wisdom so you can understand what it’s telling you about love, safety, and connection.
Bringing compassion and clarity to the emotional dynamics and protective parts of you that keep you stuck, so you feel seen and hopeful for change.
Seeing the deeper wounds and patterns underneath, and guiding you to choose new ways of relating that feel aligned and self-honoring.
Using your relationships and dating experiences as a portal for deep healing, growth, and lasting transformation.
Helping you see how self-worth is at the root of who and what you attract in life, and how to shift/increase yours.

I’d love to support you in breaking free from your past & creating something more aligned and expansive—starting from within.

WORK WITH ME

MY COACHING METHOD

UNDERSTAND

Slow down, listen in. Through somatic attunement, we track nervous system cues and name how protective parts of you (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) surface in real time. so you can begin to feel what’s actually happening beneath the trigger or activation.
UNCOVER

We trace the pattern back to its origin: early attachment wounds, family dynamics, and/or cultural/societal messaging in order to reveal the limiting self belief that still runs the show and keeps you stuck in a loop you didn’t choose and/or you’ve outgrown.
REWIRE

With the body on board, we rewrite your story through secure actions, clear boundaries, and relationships that reflect your true self worth, and integrate a new way of being: grounded, self-honoring, and connected to yourself and others.
