Holistic psychotherapy uses traditional methods of psychotherapy along with nontraditional approaches to accomplish the deepest level of healing possible. The mind, body, and spirit are viewed as one unit, working in harmony and seeking integration and balance.
Life Coaches guide you to specific business and personal goals and transitions in many areas of your life. They help you grow by analyzing your current situation, identifying limiting beliefs and obstacles you face, and devising a custom plan of action to help you achieve your goals.
Hypnotherapy is a type of psychological therapy that uses hypnosis to help treat certain mental and physical health conditions. It can also be used to change habits.
Lori A. Noto, PhD, Noto Holistic Consulting
I started my life coaching practice to address a need I observed while teaching university courses and in my consulting work with disabled adults. The courses I taught prepared future teachers and administrators to work in K-12 educational settings, and the students in these courses consistently came to me for mentoring and guidance, especially in the current very stressful educational environment. The disabled adults I work with were also regularly seeking mentoring and guidance.
My adult life has been marked by a consistent role as a guide, mentor, and support system for those around me. This unofficial role, which I held for many years, eventually led me to pursue a life coaching certification. My genuine interest in the health and well-being of others, coupled with a passion for serving and advocating for those who may be marginalized, forms the bedrock of my coaching and consulting practice.
My practice is designed to support individuals facing personal and professional obstacles. I specialize in teacher and administrator wellness, as well as the well-being of human service and other support service professionals. I also work with graduate students and disabled individuals and their families, offering guidance and support tailored to their unique circumstances.
As a life coach, I love watching my clients grow and find their purpose. It brings me joy when I am able to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, recharging and restoring their focus, reducing stress, building self-understanding, and creating a blissful life.

Donna Bunte Whole Health
In my 20s and 30s, I discovered holistic nutrition, Chinese medicine, and acupuncture when I was successfully treated for some serious health issues. This inspired me to study and become a natural health practitioner myself. Since 1996, I have been practicing as a holistic health and Chinese medicine practitioner, herbalist, licensed acupuncturist, and integrative nutrition health coach.
Qigong and meditation have also been my passions for many years, and I enjoy teaching these techniques to help people find balance in their lives. Over the years, I realized that many of my clients needed not just health coaching and solutions but guidance for their entire life. This realization led me to get trained and certified in what I call “Whole Life Coaching,” a holistic approach that addresses the body, mind, and spirit.
I am particularly drawn to working with women who are at a transition or turning point in life—those who may have set aside their passions to raise a family or take a job they may not love. These women are now ready to reinvent themselves but may not know where or how to start.
As women and caregivers, we excel at taking care of everyone else and often put ourselves last. However, by burying our creativity and dreams, we risk losing the spark that lights up our lives. Through holistic life coaching, I guide women to balance their body, mind, and spirit so they can find new directions, feel inspired and passionate, and have a positive outlook on life.

Yovanna Moré, Mind’s Eye Hypnosis
A product of life’s best and worst experiences, Mind’s Eye Hypnosis was born from my battles with the weight of family trauma and the freeing healing power of hypnosis. My journey to becoming a hypnotist began with a painful break between my mother and me that spiraled me into a debilitating depression. After exhausting all traditional methods of therapy with very little improvement in my emotional or physical state, my husband suggested I try hypnosis, and I thought, why not? The sessions that followed would change the course of my life in the best way.
Experiencing the profound and permanent change that hypnosis made in healing my trauma moved me to become a licensed hypnotist so that I may help others heal the way I did. I am now the founder and owner of Mind’s Eye Hypnosis, based in Simsbury, CT, where I specialize in trauma release via Root Cause and Spiritual Hypnosis. My sessions are tailored to your specific needs to ensure the full release of trauma, negative emotions, and limiting beliefs.
My Healthy Eating Weight Release Program is well-known for working to restructure your perspective of food and reform your relationship with it, achieving a healthier weight and lifestyle. I also serve as a Spiritual Coach and Teacher via my Path for Discovery courses, which combine hypnosis, spiritual coaching, and life coaching to connect you with your most diving energy.

Marilyn Mangini, BSN, RN-BC, Transformational Life Coach, In the Mix Coaching, LLC
Struggling with my own anxiety and self-esteem issues, I embarked on a personal growth journey to feel more joy. My goal is to always be approachable. I know how difficult it can feel to start something new. I understand the power of thoughts and self-limiting beliefs. I believe in harnessing the power of our minds to enact lasting change. As a registered nurse, board-certified in psychiatric-mental health nursing and certified in nurse coaching, I specialize in transformative life coaching.
As a holistic practitioner, my greatest joy comes from knowing that I’m living in harmony with my values. I understand the profound impact of being seen and heard in a nonjudgmental way. I’ve seen the transformative power of envisioning a future self and making it a reality. I consider this process a divine experience, and I’m deeply honored to be part of someone’s journey.
When we live in our truth and integrity, we are supported by a knowing universe. All the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are already inside of us. I help people slow down and learn to hear the quiet voice of wisdom that already exists within them. Living in harmony with our thoughts and feelings lends itself to hope, peace, and promise.
This effect extends to our health, our relationships, and our environments.
I’m looking forward to offering a life-changing coaching experience to those I serve.

Christine Bilotti Peterson, High Performance Coach and RTT Practitioner
Longview Vitality | Longview Consulting
At Longview Vitality, we are dedicated to helping business owners, leaders, and professionals unlock their peak performance and achieve personal and professional success. Through a holistic approach, we combine executive coaching with high-performance methodologies to enhance emotional intelligence, clarify goals, and connect individuals to their true purpose. Our personalized high-performance protocols not only improve mental and physical health but also remove limiting beliefs, empowering our clients to lead more fulfilling, purpose-driven, and prosperous lives to help make a greater impact on the world.
After spending 25 years working with C-level executives, I realized that success isn’t just about professional achievements – it’s about finding balance between career, happiness, and personal fulfillment. My passion for holistic coaching was born out of my own experience with burnout, where I faced the consequences of putting myself last. It wasn’t until I incorporated wellness, self-care, and mindset work that I achieved peak performance in my own life. At 50, I discovered cognitive behavioral therapy, neurolinguistic programming, hypnotherapy, and meditation, which helped me heal childhood trauma and overcome a 35-year emotional eating disorder through rapid transformational therapy. This profound experience drove me to integrate these powerful tools into my practice, helping others who, like me, struggled with stress, limiting beliefs, and lack of purpose.
Our unique blend of mindset reprogramming and executive development sets us apart, allowing clients to not only achieve professional prosperity but also experience deep personal and spiritual growth. We guide high-achievers to align their inner well-being with their outer goals, transforming them into fulfilled, purpose-driven leaders.
One of my greatest joys as a holistic practitioner is witnessing my clients reach new heights of success, whether it’s through business and career success, life achievements, or breakthroughs in self-development. While I’m always grateful for the acknowledgment of client success, the truth is that my role is to bring out the best in them – they do the hard work. I create the space, provide the tools, and facilitate the process, but they are the ones transforming their lives and the lives of their clients and customers. Some of my favorite moments happen during retreats, where I get to watch people evolve over a weekend—experimenting with yoga, gaining clarity, or having profound epiphanies. It’s these experiences that remind me why I’m so passionate about this work. When we prioritize our own well-being, we can help others reach their full potential, multiplying the positive impact on the world.

Jenny Alzate, LPC, LLC, Integrative Psychotherapist, The Enlightenment Counseling Center
The Enlightenment Counseling Center is a clinical group practice made of licensed psychotherapists that provide a holistic approach to improving and healing your mental health.
It is our mission to help our patients heal mind, body, and spirit so they can achieve mental and emotional wellness. Each clinician offers their own unique blend of integrative psychotherapy by combining traditional psychotherapy with complementary and alternative medicine. To address your mental health needs, we provide clinical interventions such as EMDR, DBT, TF-CBT, CBT, and IFS.
Our clinicians are certified yoga instructors, Reiki practitioners, expressive arts therapists, and mindfulness-based stress reduction teachers, mind-body and energy medicine trained and certified. All of these modalities support the calming and resetting of the central nervous system.
We understand that our mental health is heavily affected by unprocessed emotional wounds and painful life experiences that have continued to impact our lives and decisions unconsciously. This leads to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many other mental disbalances.
As integrative psychotherapists, we focus on empowering our clients with not only clinical support and stabilization but, ideally, in supporting them in making lifestyle changes that nourish and sustain the healed versions of themselves. Some of these lifestyle changes are around nutrition, integration of affirmations and positive self-talk, working with the law of attraction and manifestation, increased body movement, meditation, yoga, and breathwork.
The ECC is here to help you clinically and by using complementary and alternative medicine to help you find improved health, inner peace, and happiness. We are currently accepting new clients in both Hartford and West Hartford offices. Please call the referral line at 860.729.3284 or check out our website at enlightenmentcenterct.com.
