Caroline Pocock Caroline Pocock is a multimedia artist, yogi, Grief Recovery Specialist, Early Childhood Educator, Creative Consultant, and Transformation Coach. Her passion is empowering humans to live authentically by showing up for the full depth of experience of life, and uncovering the gifts that hide in the shadows. Her approach is based in mind-body awareness, ritual, and creative expression.

Caroline’s coaching is informed by her professional experience in trauma-sensitive intervention and program development, as well as her personal experience navigating complex grief around the loss of her mother in 2018. She is inspired by the teachings of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, and Richard Rudd, rooted with reverence in the holistic wisdom of Hatha Yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and Native American teachings of the Red Road.

Caroline carries certifications in the Grief Recovery Method ®, Hatha Yoga, and Post-Traumatic Stress Management & Psychological First Aid. She earned a BA in Global Liberal Studies and Spanish from New York University in 2015 and is currently pursuing a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy at Lesley University. She finds home in her body through movement, writes to release emotion, feels most connected singing and dancing in groups, and aspires to one day pluck the banjo like the foot stompin’ strings of Rising Appalachia.

She humbly shares what she’s learned in the spirit of reciprocity and gratitude for the guidance and wisdom she’s received along her path, in the hopes that it will spread some healing to the world.

Every breath, every heartbeat, every emotion, every moment is important, special, natural, real and necessary.

I’ve been working with Caroline for the last 3 or 4 months and it’s been such an amazing experience. I’m really in awe of how much we’ve been able to accomplish and get going in my work. When I came to her, I felt very confused and unclear, my energy felt really dispersed. Now I have this really beautiful roadmap for where my work is headed, clear strategies and approaches for how to bring people into my community and share my gifts with more people, and some really beautiful, big long term visionary plans for what this is all setting me up for. I really don’t think any of that would have been possible without Caroline and her guidance and wisdom. She is such a beautiful space holder and is really able to listen and understand what the deeper thing is that I’m needing, and she does such a beautiful job of reflecting that back to me in an empowering way, and then providing strategy and tactics to actually make it happen.

Caroline listens. She is deeply respectful of whatever situation I am in, and doesn't judge me for it. I appreciate Caroline's use of curiosity as a method of healing. When met with an issue, Caroline is creative in her exploration. She goes beyond typical questions and with the ease of intuition, helps unearth the source of pain. I cannot recommend working with Caroline highly enough! She is a kind, compassionate, and resilient person who has helped me build strength and make significant progress in my life!
