Vera V. Chapman, LPC, BCC, CYT, is an author, coach, healer, and mama.
Her life, once consumed by a busy lifestyle in the pursuit of feeling “enough”, shifted dramatically after the devastating loss of her son to stillbirth in 2021. Embracing her grief, she peeled back layers of trauma, found self-love, and rediscovered the essence of “being.”
Today, Vera shares the transformative tools of yoga, reiki, and sound healing through her writing and holistic wellness coaching practice, Resonating Soul Wellness.
Vera, originally from Cape Town, South Africa, calls New York home alongside her husband, their two spirited living children, and two naughty dogs.
With over a decade of experience supporting women through coaching and counseling, she introduces “Our Baby in Our Hearts,” her first children’s book, inspired by her two living children’s grief journeys. She is also the author of the “Light in Loss” daily healing affirmation cards series for women.
Professional Highlights:
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.
