Yvette Puchert Life Coach

Yvette Puchert Life Coach Helping women calm their nervous system, release limiting beliefs and reconnect with their true selves, through coaching, breathwork and Reiki. Yes!

I am a passionate transformational Life Purpose and REBT Life Coach and Reiki practitioner with a unique career trajectory. After working in marketing for several decades, I realised my true calling was to help people transform their lives and discover their life purpose. This realisation came after years of searching for my own sense of purpose and feeling unfulfilled in my life and work. Through

my own personal journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, I discovered the power of life coaching and Reiki as tools to help others connect with their inner selves and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. As a certified life coach and Reiki practitioner, I guide my clients through the process of self-discovery, helping them uncover their unique gifts, passions and talents, and aligning them with their true purpose. My approach is holistic and personalised, tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. Often our inability to access our joy and life purpose is based on our irrational core beliefs which drive and define everything we do or don’t do. I have helped a number of clients overcome obstacles and transform their lives, finding greater happiness, fulfillment, and purpose. My passion is helping others awaken to their full potential and live their best lives with joy, authenticity and purpose. If you're ready to take the first step towards discovering your life purpose and transforming your life, I am here to guide you on your journey.

Most of what we carry is invisible until we slow down enough to feel it.

The tension in the jaw.
The heaviness in the chest.
The quiet pressure underneath everything.

Just notice it here.

I’m Yvette. I help people who are used to holding everything together reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and gently shift the patterns keeping them in overdrive through somatic work, coaching, breathwork, and Reiki.

I think there’s something quite disorienting that happens when you can understand yourself clearly… and still feel like your body is reacting as if nothing has changed.

You know what’s happening.
You can name it.
You can even explain it to someone else in a way that makes sense.

And yet, in certain moments, something in you still tightens.
Still braces.
Still doesn’t quite settle.

It can feel frustrating in a quiet way, because part of you is thinking: but I’ve done the work… I understand this.

And that’s exactly it.

The understanding is often there.

But the body doesn’t reorganise itself through understanding alone.

It reorganises through what it has repeatedly experienced.

Through what has felt safe enough, often enough, over time.

So even when nothing is actually wrong in the present, the body can still respond from an older pattern. Not because it’s being difficult. Just because it learned that way of staying alert for a reason.

And I think this is where people start to notice the gap.

Between insight and response.
Between awareness and ease.
Between knowing and feeling.

Not as something to fix.

Just something to recognise when it happens.

That moment where your mind is in one place… and your body is in another.

And instead of trying to force them into alignment, just noticing both.

Because sometimes the shift isn’t about understanding more.

It’s about slowly building enough experience of safety that the body begins to catch up.

I think this is one of the reasons so many intelligent, self-aware people become frustrated with themselves.

They understand what happened.

They know they’re no longer in danger.

They know they don’t need to keep carrying so much.

And yet…

their body still braces.

The shoulders tighten.
The breath shortens.
The nervous system stays prepared.

It’s confusing when the mind and body seem to be having two different conversations.

But they don’t learn in the same way.

The mind learns through information.

The body learns through experience.

Through repetition.
Through relationships.
Through moments that feel different from what came before.

Trauma-informed research increasingly shows that the nervous system responds far more strongly to felt safety than conscious understanding.

Which means that knowing you’re safe and feeling safe can be two very different experiences.

And perhaps that’s worth remembering on the days you wonder why awareness hasn’t changed everything.

💛 Just notice what feels safe in your body right now.

Not perfect safety.

Not complete calm.

Just one small place where your body softens, even slightly.

This is what I hold with women…
walking from survival into embodied safety.

Your mind moves faster than your body sometimes.

This gap is where overwhelm builds.
Not because something is wrong.
Because you’ve been moving too quickly for too long.

Slow it down here.

I’m Yvette. I help people who are used to holding everything together reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and gently shift the patterns keeping them in overdrive through somatic work, coaching, breathwork, and Reiki.

I think many people don’t realise how much effort goes into simply staying okay.

Not in a dramatic way.

Just in the everyday sense of holding yourself together while life keeps moving.

Staying composed in conversations.
Staying steady when something inside feels tired.
Staying “fine” even when that doesn’t fully match what the body is experiencing.

And over time, that becomes such a familiar way of being that it stops being questioned.

It just feels like you.

The body learns this kind of holding through repetition.

The subtle tightening in the chest.
The controlled breath.
The constant monitoring of how you’re coming across.

Not because something is wrong.

Because at some point, holding yourself together became the safest way to move through the world.

Research in nervous system regulation shows that the body can maintain low-level activation states for long periods without conscious awareness.

Which is why exhaustion can feel so quiet.

💛 Just notice that gently today.

You don’t need to change anything.

Just allow a small moment where you soften.

Not collapse.

Just soften.

This is what I hold with women…
walking from survival into embodied safety.

Your body does not use words.

It uses sensation.
Tension.
Fatigue.
Activation.

When you start listening here, things begin to shift.

I’m Yvette. I help people who are used to holding everything together reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and gently shift the patterns keeping them in overdrive through somatic work, coaching, breathwork, and Reiki.

I think many women become incredibly skilled at looking okay.

Keeping their voice steady.
Showing up.
Responding like everything is manageable.

Even when something inside feels different.

And often, it happens so quickly that they barely notice it anymore.

The moment something feels too much…

the body tightens.
The emotions get tucked away.
The focus shifts back to what needs to be done.

Not because they’re disconnected.

Not because they don’t feel.

Because somewhere along the way, hiding what was happening inside felt safer.

Research in trauma and nervous system regulation increasingly shows that protective responses can happen before we consciously choose them.

Which is why these patterns can feel so automatic.

💛 Just notice that gently in yourself today.

Not to change it.

Just to meet yourself with a little more understanding.

This is what I hold with women…
walking from survival into embodied safety.

Some people become so good at coping
that even they don’t notice how much they are carrying.

They keep showing up.
They keep functioning.
They keep saying “I’m fine.”

But the body often knows first.

The tiredness.
The tension.
The feeling that you cannot fully switch off.

You don’t have to put everything down today.

Just notice what you have been holding.

One breath.
One moment.
One small pause.

I’m Yvette. I help people who are used to holding everything together reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and gently shift the patterns keeping them in overdrive through somatic work, coaching, breathwork, and Reiki.

I think many of us are very good at checking everything else.

The schedule.
The responsibilities.
The people who need us.
The next thing to get done.

But how often do we actually check in with ourselves?

Not with our thoughts.

With the body.

The tightness we’ve been carrying.
The breath we’ve been holding.
The sensations we’ve been moving past.

Sometimes the body has been communicating for a while…

we’ve just been busy.

So today, give yourself one quiet moment.

Close your eyes.

Take a breath.

Notice what’s here.

Not to fix it.
Not to analyse it.

Just to listen.

💛 Your body doesn’t need you to have all the answers.

Sometimes it just needs to be noticed.

This is what I hold with women…
walking from survival into embodied safety.





04/06/2026

Many women become so focused on what everyone else needs…

that they slowly lose touch with themselves.

Not intentionally.

Just gradually.

Attention moves outward.
Toward responsibility.
Toward managing.
Toward making sure everyone else is okay.

And after a while, it can become difficult to even recognise what you need in the moment.

Not because you don’t have needs.

Because your nervous system became more practiced at monitoring everyone else first.

Research in nervous system regulation increasingly shows that chronic outward focus can become an automatic protective pattern over time.

Which is why coming back to yourself can feel unfamiliar at first.

💛 Just notice that gently today.

What does your body need right now?

Not what should you do.
Not what does everyone else need from you.

Just you.

This is what I hold with women…
walking from survival into embodied safety.
