Testimonials

  • I've only been working with Hazel for a few months now, but I already feel like I've made multiple breakthroughs in breaking out-dated thought patterns and etching out the life I have dreamed of living for years. Hazel creates a safe, non-judgmental space very quickly and it's clear she loves her work. I have been able to come to her with so many thoughts, stories, and tangents and she listens, responds, and helps to make the seemingly random noise in my head make sense again. I look forward to continuing my work with Hazel and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a gentle yet honest listening ear.

  • Working with Hazel has been a game changer for me. I knew I wanted a coach but her insight and skill exceeded my expectations. She truly listens, gives great feedback and asks amazing questions. From our first meeting, she has helped me set actionable goals and follow up on them, and to see myself more clearly - identifying and clearing blocks, and visualizing and clarifying what I want and need. As a fellow trans small business owner, I truly appreciate her coaching in my life and career.

Meet Hazel

I’m Hazel Bloom, a transgender lesbian (she/her) originally from New Zealand. As a coach and a trans woman, I understand the heights of trans joy and gender euphoria, along with the lows of gender dysphoria. I’ve done the hard work on making peace between the dichotomy of society’s pressure to fit into a specific ideal to ‘pass’, and the need to be my authentic self regardless of what people may think of me. I am all about loving ourselves, finding what our gender, sexuality and identity mean for us, and then figuring out how we want to present that to the world. These are universal skills that can benefit anyone.

Political forces want us to be scared and hide. Thriving and being visible is the ultimate revolution.

After discovering my binary transgender identity in my thirties while in a cis-straight-passing marriage, I embarked on a difficult yet fulfilling journey of coming out in my personal and professional life - to mixed success. Embracing my authentic self has been incredibly rewarding, and I am passionate about guiding others on their own paths to radical self-love.

As a certified Life Coach from the Academy of Modern Applied Psychology, I aim to help others realize who they truly are and how to live authentically as themselves. While I have the lived experience of being a trans woman, I can help anyone who considers themselves a part of the LGBTQIA+ community or their allies. While I am based in Washington, I am able to assist clients all over the world!

Now that you know a bit about me, my question is: “Who are You?”. What I can do is use my expertise as a coach to help you in figuring out that answer for yourself.

You are not alone. You can do this.
