About Satine.
The work I do is personal. I've spent years living through some of the darkest moments imaginable. I know exactly how deep the shadow can go, and from my own intense healing, I've learned I now have the capacity to experience an equal amount of light and joy. You have this capacity in you too.
Healing isn't theoretical, I've tried dozens of alternative modalities for severe CPTSD.
And I am well versed in the various ways these deep developmental experiences require approaching. For full transparency, I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and have lived the long emotional aftermath that comes with not being believed. I was severely bullied through elementary, junior, and high school. My early adult years included five years of work in adult entertainment, a chapter that taught me a great deal about the shadow side of the human psyche, my own and other people's. And three years ago, I left a marriage that nearly took my life.
For years I tried every healing modality I could find, and most of them helped a little. Internal Family Systems was the one that finally moved what hadn't moved before. That is why it sits at the center of how I work with clients today.
Many people find their way to me precisely because of the road I have walked. They know I have been in the dark places, and they know I will not flinch when they show me theirs. That is part of what I bring to our process.
What I learned, and what I built around it.
Alongside the inner work, I rebuilt the outside. I balanced my hormones. I healed my microbiome. I trained my sleep. I started peptides and GLP-1 microdosing. I learned to eat the way my DNA actually asks me to. I learned what boundaries feel like in the body, not as a concept but as a felt sense.
What I learned in those years, and what I now build my practice around, is that the body and the mind are not separate problems. The protocol that finally works may be the one designed specifically for you.
This is the practice you will be embarking on.
How I live, and how I work.
My days are slower than they used to be. Mornings without rushing. Calm conversations. Functional fitness that supports the next forty years instead of punishing me for the last forty. Eating the way my labs and my DNA suggest. Joyful connections, intentionally.
With clients, I bring the same orientation. The work can be playful. Healing can be something to look forward to instead of something to grit through. The wins are designed to last, because they were built small enough to hold.
The training behind the work.
I hold an ICC Coaching Certificate and am educated in Internal Family Systems coaching, with three years of active practice. I am currently completing certifications in Hormone Optimization, Biohacking, and Functional Genomics. I returned to school in 2022 to study psychology because the field keeps moving and I want to keep up with it.
I also bring formal training from earlier chapters of my life: five years at the Academy of Art University, where I studied 3D animation and illustration. Twenty-five years as a game designer, comic book artist, and graphic designer. And the last three years I've continued working as a professor, teaching what I learned in the field.
My clinical work is supported by a small set of partners I trust:
A licensed medical team that manages all hormone testing, ordering peptides, and more with prescribed support. Every client lab is reviewed by a licensed provider. This is what allows my practice to offer clinically guided support while remaining a coaching practice.
DNA testing and functional genomic analysis, so we can build protocols based on how your specific biology actually works.
At-home blood draws for ongoing biomarker tracking, so we can see how your body is responding over time.
Supplement formulations I personally use and recommend.
A long creative life, before this one.
Before health coaching, I spent more than twenty years working in creative industries. Modeling, acting, performing. A year as a community manager for Dungeons & Dragons. I co-created a three-book graphic novel series and wrote a non-fiction book on storytelling. I co-hosted an international travel show. My work and interviews have appeared in Wired, Time, Forbes, and Health magazine.
I share this here because it is part of who I am, not because it is what I do now. The skills from that life shape my coaching. One I learned at a tabletop when I was a child: you can level a character up through strength training, study, and practice. Every stat is improvable, with patience and the right sequence.
Turns out the same thing is true for us.
If we're going to work together.
The work is real. The data is real. The healing is real. None of it is fast, and none of it is supposed to be.
If any of this resonates, the next step is a thirty-minute conversation. No pitch, no pressure. Just a chance to find out whether this is the right place for what you're working on.
