I am Rose Gelona, founder of Bloom & Flourish,  a transformational life coaching practice based in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

With a decade of experience across leadership, education and personal development, I bring both grounded professionalism and intuitive depth to my coaching. I hold a BA (Hons) from the University of Kent and a PGCE from St Mary’s University, and have spent over ten years working in leadership and educational settings before transitioning fully into coaching.

My professional training includes ICF-Accredited Life Coaching, Advanced NLP Practitioner certification, Havening Techniques Practitioner training, Somatic Embodiment Coaching, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Shadow Work. I am a Professional Member of ANLP and a Member of the International Coaching Federation.

With 150+ hours of documented transformational practice, I have supported clients to rewire nervous system patterns, overcome phobias and early childhood trauma responses, rebuild confidence and boundaries, manage stress and overwhelm and create lasting change that is felt in the body, not just understood in the mind.

I am passionate about supporting accomplished women who have achieved external success but feel an internal misalignment perhaps a feeling of disconnection, self-doubt, overwhelm or a quiet sense that something fundamental needs to change. These are intelligent, capable people who know they are ready for more: not more achievement, but more aliveness, authenticity and alignment.

I specialise in supporting clients through existential transitions, career pivots, post-burnout recovery, and the journey from people-pleasing to deep self-trust. I also work with clients navigating anxiety, phobias, nervous system dysregulation, boundary-setting, and the release of limiting beliefs and old narratives.

Specialisms and areas of greatest success

• Nervous system regulation and stress management
• Confidence, self-belief and boundary-setting
• Releasing limiting beliefs, old narratives and trauma encoding
• Overcoming phobias and anxiety patterns
• Navigating life transitions with clarity and purpose
• People-pleasing, perfectionism and self-trust
• Work-life balance and sustainable wellbeing
• Reconnecting with purpose, energy and self-expression

What sets me apart

What distinguishes my work is the depth of integration. Rather than practising NLP in isolation, I weave it seamlessly with Havening, Somatic Embodiment, EFT and Shadow Work to create a truly multi-dimensional coaching experience. This means I can meet each client exactly where they are and draw from the most effective modality in the moment.

My approach is neurobiologically grounded,  I work with the nervous system, the body and the subconscious mind, not just conscious thought. My signature framework, Remembering, Reigniting and Redesigning, guides clients through a transformational arc: remembering who they truly are beneath the conditioning, reigniting their clarity and self-trust, and redesigning their life from a place of alignment and embodied wisdom.

I believe in elegant, sustainable transformation, a change that unfolds naturally, without force or pressure. My clients describe the experience as deeply held, intuitively guided and profoundly safe.

“Rose has a unique and intuitive way of noticing expressions and thoughts held in the body. It was an incredible experience to feel safely held to drop into my body and begin to understand myself fully from the inside out, creating growth from an anchored place of knowing rather than a feeling of anxiety and pushing.”

— Suzie H, Coaching Client

Clients who work with me typically experience:

• A deeper sense of calm, safety and emotional regulation
• Increased confidence, clarity and self-trust in decision-making
• Release of old patterns, limiting beliefs and stuck emotional responses
• Stronger boundaries and the ability to say no without guilt
• Greater energy, focus and connection to what truly matters
• A renewed sense of purpose and alignment between inner values and outer life
• Practical, embodied tools they can use independently beyond our sessions

The transformation is not just intellectual, it is felt in the body. Clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer and more like themselves than they have in years.

“If I could describe Rose in 3 words, they would be authentic, natural, and warm. You will immediately feel enveloped into a welcoming and warm container, which she creates so beautifully, enabling you to express yourself with ease.”

— Lisa, Coaching Client

I offer one-to-one transformational coaching via private Zoom sessions. My core offerings include:

The Realignment Session  (45 minutes): A one-off session where we ook at where you are, what is pulling you and what has actually been holding you and the pattern in place.

The Bloom & Flourish Pathway (6 sessions): A focused, bespoke coaching experience working through my Remembering, Reigniting and Redesigning framework. Each session integrates NLP, Havening, Somatic Embodiment, EFT and Shadow Work based on what you need most.

12-Month Partnership: For people seeking deep, sustained transformation across all areas of life and work, with regular sessions and ongoing support.

Sessions are calm, confidential and entirely led by you. There is no pressure to go anywhere you are not ready to go. I bring warmth, professionalism, intuitive responsiveness and a deep commitment to your growth.

I may be the right fit for you if:

• You sense that something needs to shift but cannot quite name what it is
• You have tried thinking your way through challenges and it is not enough
• You are drawn to an approach that works with your body and nervous system, not just your mind
• You value depth, confidentiality and a bespoke, unhurried process
• You want a coach who integrates multiple evidence-based modalities rather than a one-size-fits-all approach

The best way to know is to book a 20 minute complimentary discovery conversation with me. This is a genuine conversation, not a sales call and there is no obligation to continue. You will know whether it feels right.

Bloom & Flourish coaching is ideally suited to people who:

• Are accomplished and capable, but feel disconnected or unfulfilled despite their external success
• Are experiencing a life transition — career change, relationship shift, post-burnout, identity recalibration — and want grounded, professional support
• Are curious about body-based and neuroscience-informed approaches to change
• Are willing to invest time, energy and resources in their personal growth
• Value a refined, confidential and bespoke coaching experience

Who might these services not be the best fit for?

This coaching may not be the right fit for someone who:

• Is seeking therapy, counselling or crisis intervention — coaching is forward-focused and developmental, not clinical or reparative
• Wants quick fixes or instant results without personal engagement
• Is not yet ready to reflect honestly or take responsibility for their own growth
• Is looking for advice-giving rather than a collaborative, empowering process

I am completely transparent about scope and will always signpost to a qualified therapist or counsellor if that would be more appropriate. I hold the highest standards of professional ethics as a member of both the ANLP and ICF.
