About
Transformational Mindset Coaching - Birth, Postpartum, Early Motherhood
​
Hello I'm Ariel Chivalrous, Mother, Founder and Transformational Birth and Postpartum Coach
At the heart of Empowered to Bloom is the belief that motherhood is not a role — it’s a profound transformation.
Birth, postpartum, loss, identity shifts — these aren’t problems to solve. They are thresholds to cross, slowly, intentionally, and with support.
As a transformational birth and postpartum coach, I hold space for your emotional and mental preparation, not just your to-do list. I support you in releasing fear, building trust in your body, navigating identity shifts, and healing through the full spectrum of your motherhood story — from anticipation to arrival, from rupture to repair.
My work is rooted in presence, softness, and the unwavering belief that you already carry wisdom within you. My role is simply to help you access it, in your own time, in your own way.
​
My own birth and postpartum experience reshaped me. I prepared deeply for the birth of my daughter—emotionally, mentally, and energetically—and that process showed me the transformative power of mindset, nervous system care, and community support. It’s what I now bring to the women I coach.
By day, I'm a talent acquisition leader in a strategic role with a global career spanning two decades. And alongside that work, I follow my heart’s calling—supporting women through birth, postpartum, and career transitions through 1:1 coaching and mentorship.

My Philosophy: A Holistic Approach to Birth, Healing & Motherhood
Birth, healing, and motherhood are deeply personal journeys. No two experiences are the same, which is why my coaching is rooted in personalized, trauma-informed, and holistic support - designed to meet you exactly where you are.I believe in a mind-body connection, in the power of self-trust, and in every woman’s ability to feel calm, confident, and in control of her birth and postpartum journey. Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing from a past experience, or navigating postpartum emotions, my approach is designed to help you feel supported, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself.​
My Coaching Approach: A Blend of Science, Intuition & Healing
I integrate mindset coaching, nervous system regulation, and somatic healing techniques to support you in shifting fears, releasing trauma, and stepping into motherhood with clarity and confidence. My work is deeply holistic, blending modern psychology with ancient wisdom, evidence-based practices, and intuitive self-exploration.
What You Can Expect from Coaching with Me
Trauma-Informed & Judgment-Free Support
​
Your experiences, feelings, and fears are valid. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process emotions, ask questions, and explore your journey at your own pace.
Mindset Shifts & Emotional Resilience
​
Your mind is your most powerful tool in birth, healing, and motherhood. We’ll work together to shift fear into confidence, uncertainty into trust, and overwhelm into clarity.
Body-Based Healing & Nervous System Regulation
​
Emotions live in the body. Using breathwork, movement, visualization, and somatic techniques, we’ll help you release stored trauma, regulate stress, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom.
Personalized Strategies for Birth & Postpartum Confidence
​
You are unique, and so is your journey. My coaching is not ‘one-size-fits-all’. I provide customized tools, techniques, and action steps tailored to your needs whether that’s overcoming birth fear, healing trauma, or stepping into postpartum with ease.
Practical Tools You Can Use for Life
This is not just about birth. The techniques you’ll learn - whether self-trust practices, boundary-setting, emotional regulation, or breathwork will support you far beyond birth and postpartum, into motherhood and beyond.
