Hi, I’m Giselle Buonomo, Women’s Transformation & Self-Empowerment Coach. I created The Self Realization Foundation over 15 years ago. During this time, I’ve helped women break free from doubt, reconnect with their inner strength, and take charge of their lives. My work is grounded in real-life experience…because I’ve lived everything I teach.
​
After losing my mother many years ago, when I was still young and just finding my place in the world, everything I thought I knew about life shifted. She was my anchor and source of guidance. Her absence hit me deeply, leaving me vulnerable and unsure of which direction to take next. If I had known about life coaching then, I would have sought it out in a heartbeat. Instead, I found myself exploring spirituality and personal development not as an escape, but as a way to reconnect with my intuition and rebuild from the inside out.
​
​Leaving my fifteen-year administrative career and stepping into entrepreneurship brought its own challenges. I went through a long, abusive relationship that tested my sense of worth…but it also awakened my resilience and my refusal to believe I did not deserve better. That was the moment I began reclaiming myself...and that’s when everything changed.​
​
While building my coaching practice, I’ve also spent over 20 years working as a professional cleaner and organizer. That work, rooted in something natural to me, has always kept me grounded. It’s taught me the value of standing on my own two feet. It’s also shown me how much our outer environment reflects our inner world.
All of these experiences reshaped how I see myself and other women. Many of us women suffer far more than we need to...not because we’re weak, but because we are conditioned to stay silent, endure too much, and take care of everyone but ourselves. Real freedom begins the moment a woman stops abandoning herself and starts honoring her own voice, needs, and truth.
I recognize that life coaching is still an emerging and not-yet-widely-understood form of support. I also realize that it’s not that women reject coaching, they just don’t see how powerful it could be for them. Many also believe it’s designed for others, not for the strong ones like them. I understand that mindset deeply. I’ve been there myself. Because I’ve lived this work and walked the healing path, I know how to guide women through real change. I’ve helped many women break unhealthy patterns, stop overextending themselves, and step into the life they’re meant to live.
​
If you’re ready to move forward and become the woman you know you’re meant to be, I’m here to walk that path with you…every step of the way.
