Meet Bernadette

If I'm honest, I've never loved writing "About Me" sections. They either feel like a performance or a formality—neither capture who I am. So, here's the real essence of what I bring to my work. It's about meeting you—fully, openly, and without pretense. I want to understand what moves you, what you long for, and what stands in your way. I'm not a fan of quick, surface-level solutions.

I believe in creating a space where you're invited to be honest about what you want, brave enough to name what's holding you back, and supported enough to step into the exceptional. My role? To walk alongside you—to listen, to challenge when needed, and to find creative, meaningful ways forward. Now, having shared that, let me introduce you to Bernadette:

Wholeheartedly devoted to personal and professional change, Bernadette brings over 25 years of expertise and a deep resolve to help individuals and organizations thrive. A psychologist by background, she focuses on emotional intelligence, team dynamics, and communication mastery in her work.

Bernadette has partnered with people from all walks of life, collaborating with them to improve their lives. Her innovative approach centers on creating a dynamic connection with your deepest longings—the aspirations and desires that truly bring you to life. She guides clients to clarify, embrace, and engage these longings to foster an engaged and meaningful life.

Whether facilitating workshops for organizations seeking to enhance collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence or coaching individuals ready to embark on life-changing journeys, Bernadette brings a unique blend of evidence-based strategies, heartfelt connection, and practical wisdom.

Here's what you can expect when working with Bernadette:

  • Identify and overcome the challenges that take you off track.

  • Cultivate a dynamic relationship with your longings to lead a richer, more engaged life.

  • Create momentum in your personal or organizational goals for making meaningful progress.

At The Longing Path we work with people longing to live into what matters most to them.

  • Maybe you’ve felt the pull of your longing(s), but you haven’t known what to do with it?

  • Maybe your longing has started to feel like a burden and you question if it’s worth pursuing?

  • Maybe you’re uncertain about what your longings are?

    At the Longing Path, we long to be in these questions with you and to support you in developing a new perspective and relationship to your longings.
