About Me

Here’s the Truth.

My life was once consumed by a crazy busy lifestyle marked by all the “doing” and none of the “being.” I spent years going to college, collecting credentials like jewelry – all in an effort to prove to myself that I was enough.

In 2021, our family experienced a devastating loss that shifted this dramatically; our third child, Hayes, was stillborn at nearly full term. Deep grief helped me peel back layers of trauma, slowly leading me to self-love, and comfort with just “being.”

Today, I share the transformative tools of Reiki, sound healing, yoga, and nervous system regulation with spiritual women to create profound energetic transformations. Healing is a choice, and I’d love it if you joined me.

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, I now call Youngstown, New York home with my husband and two living children, Grayson and Ivey. This little family of mine has been the joy of my life and have held me so lovingly as I stepped into my purpose.

Did I mention I have a bunch of credentials? 🙂 

  • Board Certified Coach through the National Board of Certified Counselors
  • A background as a Licensed Professional Counselor
  • 3,000 hours+ of one-on-one coaching and counseling
  • Thousands of hours of space holding, group facilitation, and teaching experience
  • Reiki Master Teacher double-certified in Usui and Usui/Holy Fire (R) lineages
  • Certified Yoga Teacher focused on slow, intentional movement to get you back in your body
  • Certified Sound Healer and Certified Meditation Teacher specialized in facilitating transformative women’s circles
  • Ph.D. in Higher Education with a background as an Assistant Professor skilled at translating really complex topics into simple-to-understand, practical guidance. 

Healing is a choice only you can make.

And a beautiful balance between BEING [presence & awareness] and DOING [moving the energy through with intention]. Let me be your guide.

Vera V. Chapman - Our Baby In Our Hearts

Our Baby in Our Hearts

Vera V. Chapman's Debut Book

After the loss of their baby brother, Hayes, before birth, nothing feels quite right for siblings Grayson and Ivey. Their touching journey through grief gently introduces mindfulness techniques to support healing. Silly balloon breaths bring calm amid big feelings, wiggling toes begin to unravel stuck emotions, tree pose helps them discover steadiness and strength, visualization helps to bring loved ones closer, and positive affirmations offer powerful healing reminders. This comforting companion reminds families that, with time and mindful presence, love can heal even the deepest wounds.
