Thank YOU...Soul Journeys are about sharing, collaborating, learning, teaching, loving... I believe that it's SO much richer and more FUN when you have other like-minded Souls travelling with you!
A few of my client/friends (yes, they are both at the same time!) offered their reflections on what it's like to play in energy space with me. And I didn't edit a word that they said, so some are long and some are short - all perfect! My heart is full of love and joy as I continue to witness the miracles in their own journeys. xoxo |
"Makes me wonder what is real, is it true our minds make it all up?
Sometimes the pain I feel just makes me want to give back this cup
Don't you know... I'm the girl who wants it to be all right
I'm the girl turning darkness into Light
I'm the girl who's fighting the good fight
And I'm so grateful for all of you who walk by my side
Who agreed to be here, too, for this sacred ride
May we smile and laugh and enjoy the ride
As we shower all of our Love...."

As 2020 started, one of the new members of our weekly Energy Gym sent me a message with a link to this video. She said that the card reading for her sign of Leo was about a new Teacher who had appeared in her path. The reading described the dynamic, the flow of energy between the Leo sign person and the Teacher, and how the Teacher was focused solely on empowering the student to step into their Greatness and share their Gifts with the world. I have never felt as SEEN as I was in this card reading. This is the way I do my work, described in the clearest possible way. So I share it here with you... xoxo

Here is my passionate view of Viv's Energy Gym!
This is our becoming... The Universe is asking all of us to look inside; to go on our own journey of personal transformation... examine our values, look at our shadows, look at our gifts... and become ‘upgraded’ versions of ourselves.
The Energy Gym provides a space in which we can struggle together. The more honest, open and vulnerable we are, the more opportunity for growth is provided. This work is not easy. But the gym offers a space where you will be contained and uplifted, guided and loved... not forgotten or left behind, judged or shamed.
The Gym is a place where we support each other’s becoming of our most gifted self - what are your gifts? If you don’t know, that’s ok. We can discuss what struggles you have, and how can the group support you in your own strengthening, clarifying, opening, growing, blossoming, becoming... to a being that has gifts to offer our collective humanity.
Now is the time to become you.... your greatest, most gifted, most loving self... and with that sharing, comes natural, great, big inner peace and joy.
Thank you and much love Viv!

I am so happy we spoke today - - it was definitely my compass in getting me straight on my direction, and brought me back to myself, which you always help me do so beautifully.

I love Viv. She has been a mentor, a teacher, a guide, a sounding board, a safe space, a friend, and an unending source of inspiration, love and support in my life.
When we first began one-on-one coaching together I was navigating some incredibly difficult life changes and my physical, emotional and spiritual health were at an all-time low.
Viv helped me break through an endless loop of anxiety and self-doubt and guided me on an incredible journey of self-love and healing. With her support, I gained deeper self-awareness, self-acceptance, confidence and clarity that allowed me to create big shifts in both my internal and external life. She connected me to my own power to shape my life experience and taught me to manage my thoughts, emotions and energy in a conscious and empowering way. This new way of navigating the world brings me joy, ease, freedom, peace and new opportunities, beyond what I previously thought was possible.
Viv helped me reconnect to Source and to my own truth; to discover, claim and share my own soul gifts. Part of my journey toward creating an authentic, aligned life has been a career change. After more than 15 years as Fashion Designer, I am now a Holistic Health and Life Coach. It was my own powerful experience of transformation with Viv that inspired me to share my own gifts in that way, and her encouragement and support that made it possible.
When I think of Viv, I think of connection, truth, integrity, intuition, and unconditional love. She is wise and open-hearted and creative. She has an incredible ability to hold space; to create a steady, calm, safe container that is filled with love, compassion and possibility.
Anyone who has the privilege of spending time with Viv will find their life forever changed, their consciousness expanded, and their soul filled with new light.
My gratitude and appreciation for Viv, her work and her gifts are unending.

Our time together was extraordinary. Truly a gift. Thank for your healing call. I'm looking forward to the next time we can connect!

I began coaching with Viv at a pivotal time in my life. She helped me step through fear and into a new way of being in the world--not metaphorically, but literally. Viv supported me, heard me, and held me in her loving presence as I stepped out of a 15-year corporate career and into a new vocation and a new life.
Viv's masterful way of holding me as precious and uplifting me as worthy offered me a way to come into my own dreams and desires as I, perhaps, had never before.
While Viv possess beautiful psychic abilities, she keeps her focus on me, like she is a spotlight shining upon what she intuits about me, and she guides me to speak what was true, real, and honest.
Viv sees me.
Always, in her sessions, I feel her deep love for me, for my journey, and for the space in this world that we share.

The amount of love and admiration I feel for Viv is so strong that it often brings me to tears.
From the very beginning of working with Viv, I could feel that she was special. Her approach to her work is so gentle and so genuine that I didn’t have time to put up any walls before she found her way into my heart and helped open me up from the inside out. Part of my soul journey involves being a heart centered healer, and working with Viv has helped give me permission to show up as I am from this place.
"Viv, I love you very much, and I am so thankful for the work we are doing together. Your integrity and the love you bring to your work is a gift. Thank you for showing up authentically as you are and sharing yourself with the world."
I cannot speak highly enough about Viv and her offerings. She is truly amazing!!

Working with Viv one-on-one not only taught me how to meditate, find more peace, and decrease my anxiety, it completely transformed my life. I notice more joy in my life, in the small everyday ways, and in big ways as well. Her work helped me claim my own voice, to dream bigger for myself, to look at the things I want for myself and my life, and to believe that having those things in this lifetime is possible.
Viv stays firm in her knowing that we can change our story to be what we want it to be, and it feels so good to be reminded of that by her gentle encouragement . She has taught me so much about love, all of its forms, and the incredible expansiveness of it. Her compassionate energy, intuition, and wisdom are an incredible support for any change you want to make in your life, even if you are not sure what that change is yet. I am extremely grateful to be able to work with her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I was recently talking with somebody about life changing moments. You know those significant pivots where everything in your life was different after they occur. It's like you wake up with another color added to the lens in which you view the world, and unequivocally working with Viv was, and continues to be, life changing.
My life SIGNIFICANTLY got better after I started working with Viv. I was working at a job I didn't really like, fighting my bank account and spinning my wheels chasing my dream of stand-up comedy I've been working on for eight years. And within a few months of talking to her and putting in some self work, everything got better. I got a new amazing job in comedy, I started performing better and was more calm on stage and most importantly I discovered a totally new connection to Source/God/Bruce Springsteen that I never knew existed.
I tell everyone I know to talk to Viv, even people I don't know, including dogs. Marianne Williamson wrote one of my favorite self-help books called A Return to Love, and if I had to give my time and experience with Viv a title, that's really what I would call it. It has been a non-stop return to love, and that's the greatest compliment I can give anyone or anything. If she had a Yelp or a TripAdvisor page I would give her 10 stars (and that's out of five stars).

Viv, working with you has been a game changer! You have been a support for me to find my own power like no one else in my life has been. For anyone who feels the call to reach out and has access to you, they are fortunate and ready for the deep soulful journey that you will guide them through. If I wasn’t ready (though I had no idea just how deep), I wouldn’t have met you.
I am navigating my way in life now because of you, Viv! I am feeling what being in me feels like… having a home in me- was the goal for the year and I have found it. And if I am lost, I have learned the tools of what to do to find my way back home. And who to call on if I need a friend to guide me through. Thank you with all my heart and so much love.
Anyone who is on the fence about checking it out, try at least once and see how it makes you feel. Eyes will open to new possibilities that may have never felt present.

I will never forget my first big break through with Viv. I was going through an incredibly difficult transition when I decided to seek another form of “therapy”. I desperately wanting to move back home after living abroad for 6 years, but was completely terrified of the financial insecurity and career uncertainty that uprooting my life would bring. My constant “rational", “analytical" thinking had kept me stagnant for years because I had never probed deeper into why I so desperately needed that career and financial security.
Viv gently helped me unpack my long held fears and wounds that I had never connected to my present situation. She helped me see these fears so clearly and plainly, while at the same time tending to them and honoring them, which suddenly and surprisingly made it so much easier to make bold, brave choices. Moreover, as Viv helped me work towards a more positive, progressive way of thinking I noticed magical opportunities presenting themselves everywhere. They were exactly the things I needed to make the transition home easier! I never could have imagined receiving gifts so blessed, but in my old way of thinking I was so stuck even if opportunities had presented themselves I might have rejected or denied them.
This was a mere six months ago, yet it’s hard to imagine the person I was then, or how I lived that way for so long. I still have to much to unpack, heal, and discover, but working with Viv makes me feel both empowered and excited to take on those challenges. I also feel like I have real life tools to deal with strong emotions like anger and fear, which have held me back for so long. I relish my meetings with Viv, and know that all of her clients must feel the same. She is definitely a gift you want the world to know about and share.

When I began working with Viv, there were lots of changes happening in my life that left me feeling confused and lost. Viv was an invaluable resource as I began seeking answers about myself and the events unfolding around me. Viv’s guidance towards my inner voice was the gentle reminder I needed to look inwards for the truth.
Viv is a clear and compassionate speaker, coming across as loving and experienced. She is able to get her point across without ever making me feel offended or defensive. On top of offering sound advice about energy and emotional matters, Viv is great when it comes to being practical about business decisions and money AND she has a great sense of humor!
I absolutely love working with her!

Viv is a beautiful Soul and an extraordinary coach. I know I was guided to work with Viv, so that I could explore and clear a number of energetic patterns that I had been holding over time. Through looking at my stories with Viv I was able to connect the dots, so that I could let go a little more.
Before I met Viv I had played around the edges of wholeheartedly surrendering but I had managed to scare myself and just like a startled creature I had stopped in my tracks. Through Viv's gentle guidance and her willingness to stand as a mirror for my Soul I was able to share, release and move through the next piece of the puzzle towards embracing Joy in every way. I am deeply grateful that Viv and I crossed paths in this lifetime and for the commitment and wisdom and love that she brings to her work here. Her ability to see and sense with clarity is a true gift.

There are so many things I could say about the soul that is Viv Gerard, and I don't think a one of them could truly do her justice. As soon as I think I could love her no more, her kind, graceful, and loving nature pulls me even closer.
But as much as I'd love to simply fall into her, she knows my home is back in my own heart. And together we can hold space for the exploration of each other, for the exploration of ourselves. I could not be more honored to have Viv not only as a fellow journeyman, but as a dear friend.

Working with Viv has been one of the hugest blessings in my life! She is such a deeply gifted energy coach and healer, and a true lightworker -- I am so grateful that she has chosen to share her many gifts. She works from a place of deep love, light, and integrity, helping you to navigate even darkest and most difficult places with unwavering support. She is loving and gentle, as well as fierce and brave, all at the same time.
Viv has helped me to learn so much about myself, to heal in ways I never thought possible, to release old stories, and to start to uncover the fullness of who I am. She is also such a joy to connect with - her beautiful, happy energy is radiant. I finish each session so refreshed and so full of gratitude to have found this incredible teacher, guide, and friend!

Viv, my time with you was life transforming. You hold a powerful space of clarity and truth. You guided me to see beyond the surface and get to the root of my stuck energy. By you being able to see energy, you could validate what I was seeing and feeling, and then you guided me with how to transmute it. You held me accountable for working on this during the time between our calls.
The most powerful part was that I felt seen on my deepest levels, understood, and loved completely. You always held the energy of my highest self so that I could finally feel the powerful essence I am, what I am aiming for always. You never let me fall back into forgetting that I am a beautiful light being worthy of love, and I don't have to let the negative control my life. I control my life. What you do is so beautiful and I would love for others to experience that and be held by such a beautiful essence as you.

In working with Viv, I have seen tangible & amazing shifts in my life. I feel more confident, heart centered & aligned with my purpose than ever before. As a bonus, close relationships with family have become enriched & infinitely more peaceful.
Viv is able to guide, encourage and offer wisdom in the most gentle yet powerful way. I can’t say enough about the amount of love and safety you feel in diving into who you are with her. She has the finger on the pulse of exactly who you are. I will be forever grateful to her for introducing me to myself. I highly recommend starting your soul journey with Viv – it will likely be one of the most powerful, transformative & FUN experiences of your life!

Vivienne Gerard, how many wonderful things can I say?
I have been working on myself for a long time but I felt like I'd hit a stuck place. I asked the angels for help and lo and behold, a few days later Vivienne Gerard walked right up to me at a holiday party. The moment I saw her I knew she was something special. I had no idea.
Vivienne has thoughtfully led me into new places, shared her strong vision and the clarity of her knowing so beautifully. I've made new breakthroughs I didn't know were waiting for me, and I'm still exploring. I do it all with a lot more confidence knowing I have Vivienne's guidance and encouragement to help me find my way.

Viv is earth mama brilliance.
She is the most extraordinarily gifted coach and soul who I would say is a healing ninja! As a hyper-aware empath, it is not easy for me to find truth telling healers that can equally love you and firmly remind you what you're avoiding while stealthily dissolving layers. She will go into your hiding places right away and nurture you swiftly to alleviate that grip you hold onto so tightly. She walks with you back out into the sunshine and celebrates with you no matter how small the feat. Every talk with her is a homecoming.
I believe that whether you are in the early stages of your own healing journey or many years in, she can meet you there with swift grace and enormous love. She doesn't hesitate or lollygag- it's magnificent to be in her guided wisdom. I have tears in my eyes from writing this, because she lovingly walked with me across the threshold of one of my most prominent death and rebirth points. You are forever in Viv's heart, and it can be a pivotal moment in anyone's life to have such a love. xoxo always
