Yvette Puchert Life Coach

Yvette Puchert Life Coach Helping women calm their nervous system, release limiting beliefs and reconnect with their true selves, through coaching, breathwork and Reiki. Yes!

I am a passionate transformational Life Purpose and REBT Life Coach and Reiki practitioner with a unique career trajectory. After working in marketing for several decades, I realised my true calling was to help people transform their lives and discover their life purpose. This realisation came after years of searching for my own sense of purpose and feeling unfulfilled in my life and work. Through my own personal journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, I discovered the power of life coaching and Reiki as tools to help others connect with their inner selves and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. As a certified life coach and Reiki practitioner, I guide my clients through the process of self-discovery, helping them uncover their unique gifts, passions and talents, and aligning them with their true purpose. My approach is holistic and personalised, tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. Often our inability to access our joy and life purpose is based on our irrational core beliefs which drive and define everything we do or don’t do. I have helped a number of clients overcome obstacles and transform their lives, finding greater happiness, fulfillment, and purpose. My passion is helping others awaken to their full potential and live their best lives with joy, authenticity and purpose. If you're ready to take the first step towards discovering your life purpose and transforming your life, I am here to guide you on your journey.

Many of my clients tell me, “Yvette, my body reacts before I even speak.”
And it’s true, the body carries what the voice never got to express.
When you’ve been silenced, dismissed, or taught to stay small, your nervous system stores the sound… until one day, it starts screaming through tension, overwhelm, or shutdown.

Today, let’s give your body a way out.

Find a comfortable spot.
Take a slow, generous breath in and bring to mind a moment where you felt unheard.
And on your long exhale, hum, let the vibration carry the words that never made it out.

This is emotional release.
This is energy clearing.
This is how the body finds safety again.

✨ I’m Yvette, walking with you as you return to calm and presence through breathwork, coaching, Reiki and the gentle work of coming home to your body.
If you feel your body whispering yes, Come Home To Your Body is waiting for you.

We don’t realise how much we carry on autopilot -
the expectations, the old stories, the emotional weight we’ve normalised because we’ve been holding it for so long.

Your body always knows before your mind catches up.
It whispers. It tightens. It nudges.
And when you slow down long enough to listen,
clarity rises in a way that thinking alone never gives you.

If your system feels tired, stretched, overwhelmed or simply out of sync, this is the work I hold.

In Come Home To Your Body, we soften the load through nervous system regulation, breathwork,
somatic awareness, Reiki and belief work - gently guiding you back to calm, presence and inner steadiness.

If your body is asking for something different today,
you’re welcome to begin there.
A breath. A pause. A softening.

I’ve just finished a Pranayama (Breathwork) Instructors Course, and I honestly didn’t expect it to change me this much.

I’ve always done breathwork as part of my yoga practice, but this was completely different.

This was learning the science, practising with intention, and weaving micro-resets into my day… even when I didn’t feel like it.

Two minutes to settle my chest.
A humming breath to soften anxiety.
A gentle pause before reacting.

And over time, something shifted.

My nervous system started meeting life differently.
Calmer.
Quicker to recover.
Less reactive.
More grounded.

Neuroscience tells us that every time we practise something new, especially something we resist, the brain forms new neural pathways.
It literally rewires.
And let me tell you… learning new skills over 50 will show you exactly how much grit you’ve got. 😅
But it also shows you how much change is still possible.

This journey reminded me of that.
It strengthened me inside and out.

And now, these practices have naturally woven their way into my work - gentle breath resets, somatic grounding, nervous system calming, and simple tools that help people come home to themselves.

I’m grateful.
I’m proud.
And I’m excited to integrate even more of this into how I support others.

Here’s to breath, new pathways, and showing ourselves that growth doesn’t have an age limit. 🌿✨

Many of my clients tell me the same story:
“I don’t want to be emotional because people say it’s too much.”

Being emotional was never the problem.
The belief that your emotions are inconvenient, that’s what created the shutdown.

For so many of us, this belief formed in childhood when being “easy,” “strong,” or “low-maintenance” earned safety, approval, or peace.

But here’s what neuroscience now shows:
Suppressing emotion activates the same brain regions as physical threat.
Your body isn’t trying to silence you — it’s trying to protect you.

✨ Try This:
The 30-Second Softening:
• Exhale longer than you inhale
• Let your breath drop from your chest into your belly
• Feel your system soften almost immediately

You were never “too much.”
You were adapting to an environment that didn’t know how to hold emotional expression.

I’m Yvette, walking with you as you return to calm and presence.🙏🏼🪷
Save this if you’ve spent years quieting yourself just to keep the peace.

Tired of Pretending You’re Fine? There comes a point where the body can’t hold the performance anymore.
The smile feels heavy.
The pace feels impossible.
And something inside you whispers, “I can’t keep carrying this alone.”

That whisper matters.
It’s not weakness, it’s truth.
It’s the part of you that wants to be met instead of managed… felt instead of hidden… held instead of pushed aside.



When you finally stop pretending everything is fine, you create the doorway to real regulation, real healing, and real inner steadiness.

If this speaks to you, pause for one breath.
Place your hand on your chest and notice what rises.
Your body always tells the truth first.

I’m Yvette, coach, Reiki Master, and space-holder for the moments your system wants to soften.
If you feel the pull, you’re welcome to connect.

Need a quick reset today? I get it.
As the year winds down, life can feel overwhelming - deadlines, family, the emotional load of months that won’t quit.

Your mind might want to push through, but your body always keeps score.
True strength isn’t always in pushing. It’s in noticing what your body is asking for and responding.

Try this gentle reset:

The Humming Release

Close your lips

Inhale softly through your nose

Exhale as a low, steady hum

Feel the vibration in your chest and face

Repeat three rounds

This small practice eases anxiety, slows your heart rate, and helps your mind settle.

If you’re feeling it, a nervous system reset can help you come back to calm, clarity, and presence (online or in-person).

Limited December sessions available. DM or WhatsApp me to book a session or request a gift voucher.

A number of my clients complain that deep breathing actually makes them more tense, not calmer.
And here’s the truth no one teaches you:

Deep breaths don’t soothe you if you’re forcing them.

When you push big inhales into a tight system, your body feels pressured instead of supported — and the nervous system responds with even more tension.

Try this instead:
Place a hand on your chest or belly.
Inhale gently, like you’re sipping air.
Then exhale even more slowly than you think you need to.
This is the rhythm that tells your body: “It’s safe to soften now.”

Save this for the days when breathing feels like work.

As the year comes to a close, the pressure can feel heavy and totally overwhelming.😵
Targets, deadlines, family demands, emotional load… it all adds up.

Your system wasn’t built to run on constant output.
It needs cycles. Integration. Space to return to baseline.
Ignoring that call doesn’t make you resilient.
Responding to it does.

If your body is asking for a pause, here’s a simple reset you can try right now:
Place one hand on your chest.
Slowly inhale through your nose.
Long exhale out through your mouth.
Repeat three times.

This helps calm your nervous system, ease tension, and bring you back into presence.

Small practices like this, done consistently, create big shifts.
This is how you move from just coping… to genuinely regulating your system.

If you’re feeling it, a nervous system reset can help you return to calm, clarity, and presence.
Limited December sessions available, online or in-person.

If your breath feels tight or shallow, your nervous system is on high alert. Try this simple breathwork to reconnect with your diaphragm and release tension.
✨ Place one hand on your ribs, one on your belly.
✨ Inhale deeply into both hands.
✨ Exhale slowly. Notice the softening.
I’m Yvette, walking with you as you return to calm and presence.

Your body is always speaking.
Most people just haven’t been taught how to listen.

This is the work I do, helping you regulate, release, and finally feel safe in your own skin.

If your body is asking for a pause, start there.

What if the belief that you have to “hold it all together”
is the very thing breaking you?

So many of us move through life holding our breath… holding our families… holding our jobs… holding the world.
And somewhere inside, a quieter truth whispers:
“I’m tired. I can’t carry all of this alone anymore.”

This week on the blog, I’m unpacking why this belief forms, how it impacts your energy and your healing, and the small, gentle ways you can start softening the pressure on your nervous system and your spirit.

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t fall apart, even for a moment, this one is for you.
Tell me in the comments:
Where do you feel you’re carrying the most right now?












The pressure to hold it all together can leave your body and mind exhausted. Learn 5 practical exercises to calm your nervous system, release tension, and reclaim your natural ease.
