Hi! My Name is Sayen Gates.
Hailing from the southern state of South Carolina, I've always carried a profound love for family and an even greater passion for connecting with people on a deeper level. My journey into the realm of medicine commenced in 2017 when I graduated as a Certified Medical Assistant. Despite six rewarding years in the medical field, my desire to extend my assistance beyond the physical realm to encompass mental well-being led me to unofficially coach individuals for several years. It wasn't until 2020 that I decided to bring my coaching endeavors to the forefront, leveraging the popular platform TikTok to share my insights.
In addition to my coaching, I host a podcast titled "Shadow Corner," where I guide listeners in deconstructing their old foundations to pave the way for a new beginning, drawing from my own transformative story. Whether you're new to the concepts of shadow work, self-care, or simply seeking guidance on navigating life's intricacies, I'm here to lend support. As your life coach and teacher, I offer a blend of wisdom, experience, and a comprehensive understanding of life. Yet, the pivotal question I pose to you today is: Are you ready for the journey toward self-discovery and personal growth?

My Approach
Down to the Roots
Every aspect of our journey, from its inception to its culmination, can be traced back to a root cause. There are times when we find ourselves in a place we didn't anticipate, yet we can’t often pinpoint the decisions that led us there. Much like the vital role of healthy roots in nurturing plant growth, our own lives depend on a solid foundation. Without these sturdy foundations, change remains elusive, and abundance is a distant prospect. It's an invitation to cultivate personal growth and make better choices, ultimately paving the way for a brighter and more prosperous future. Let's commit to growing and evolving, striving to do better in all aspects of our lives.
Mindfull or Mindful?
It's easy to get lost amidst the clutter of to-do lists and tasks, but it's equally important to distinguish between the practical aspects of life and our emotional landscape. Understanding our emotions and acknowledging the influence they wield over our daily lives is crucial. Through mindfulness, we gain the ability to manage situations more effectively and regain control over our actions and decisions. It's the practice of being present in the moment that empowers us to respond thoughtfully, rather than react impulsively, to the challenges life presents.
Facing your shadow
My approach goes beyond just teaching you how to handle your traumas and triggers; I guide you in confronting yourself within these challenges. Together, we identify the roots of these issues and establish a clear starting point for your healing journey. It's essential to intimately understand yourself and your inner workings before embarking on the path of self-growth. After all, true personal growth begins with self-awareness and self-acceptance.
