Hey there Soul Seeker,
My name is Chelsi Pugliese, and I am an integrative somatic trauma healer and shadow work coach. I am here to help men and women heal their past trauma so they can feel worthy and create their most blissful life.

Since I was a child, I've had a deep longing to help others. I studied medicine straight out of college, which led me to a career in pharmaceuticals. It was fast-paced and full-on. I traveled the world running clinical trials to develop new drugs, hoping to change the scope of medicine. In 2020, during the Covid pandemic, my lifestyle changed dramatically as work travel was no longer an option. I found solace in Hawaii and was introduced to the practice of meditation.

This was a profound awakening of my spiritual essence!

While fear and anxiety gripped the hearts of the people around me, I was in a state of joy, boundless love, and bliss as I connected deeply with my inner being. From this moment, I was forever changed.

As the world settled back into the usual routine, I found myself unable to slip back into my old habits of partying and the fast pace of my career success. The dopamine hit I got from this lifestyle no longer satisfied me.

I wanted to feel what I had discovered in Hawaii, and this became my quest. I turned to plant medicine and attended a ceremony in San Francisco. During this experience, I felt separated even further from the bliss and experienced a sort of spiritual psychosis. This led me to Arizona, where I worked with a holistic practitioner who guided me through sessions beyond the physical plane. I unearthed long-repressed memories and past traumas from this lifetime and others. I could feel I was on the right track to liberating my bliss.

I studied many forms of holistic and shamanic healing, like reiki, drumming, tarot, astrology, and human design. Despite the incredible expansion and changes I made, I still sought fulfillment and validation from external sources, societal and family pressures, unhealthy relationships, body image troubles, etc. I was battling against what felt like a suffocating weight of shame and unworthiness, and everything started to crumble around me.

During this dark night of the soul, my spiritual and intuitive gifts began to emerge. It was not pharmaceuticals, other people, or programs that guided me out of the pain I was in. It was my own spirit and the wisdom within myself. My purpose was becoming clear.

Even though I met a lot of resistance from the outer world about following this new path (my bliss), I turned deeper into my spiritual self and grew more empowered, emboldened, and encouraged every day. I took a leap of faith and embarked on a transformative journey to the enchanting Bali. It was here I discovered not only overwhelming bliss but also a deep sense of purpose.

My path took a drastic turn for the better, and I am rapidly making my dreams a reality. In a span of six months, my entire existence has been transformed, and yours can be too.

It is through walking through the darkness that I have liberated myself to Bliss, and I can’t wait to be your guide as you walk that path too
