The BLISS™ Framework — Private Coaching for Leaders
The most resilient leaders don't just manage performance — they manage themselves.
BLISS™ is a proprietary self-care framework developed by Gerri Sapinoso Hudson from her own experience of burnout, rebuilding, and return to presence. Grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence research, BLISS™ stands for:
B — Breathe · L — Loosen the Grip · I — "I" Language ·
S — Slow Down · S — Seek Joy
The BLISS™ Blueprint is a 12-week, private 1:1 coaching program designed for high-achieving leaders ready to care for themselves as intentionally as they care for their teams. This is not a wellness program. It is a leadership development investment — one that produces measurable shifts in presence, decision-making, and the quality of relationships both at work and at home.
Enrollment by application only.
SOMA Breath® — Breathwork for Teams and Leaders
SOMA Breath® is a science-backed breathwork system supported by research from Cambridge University. Using rhythmic breathing, music, and guided visualization, SOMA Breath® sessions shift the nervous system from stress to calm — quickly, intentionally, and in a way that is accessible to anyone regardless of prior mindfulness experience.
Our certified SOMA Breath® Facilitator offers:
- Group breathwork sessions — online and in-person
- Corporate wellness workshops — standalone breathwork experiences for teams seeking a high-impact, research-backed wellbeing intervention
- Leadership reset sessions — ideal for executive teams, leadership retreats, and organizational wellbeing initiatives
A SOMA Breath® session is one of the fastest and most effective tools available for nervous system regulation, stress recovery, mental clarity, and renewed energy. It requires no prior experience — just a willingness to breathe.
Search Inside Yourself™ Leadership Programs
The SIY leadership training program brings together mindfulness, neuroscience and emotional intelligence skills in a unique experience that was originally developed at Google. Due to incredible demand outside the company, the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI) was created as a stand-alone non-profit organization to bring practical mindfulness and emotional intelligence skills to a broader audience. In 2022, SIY Global launched as a public benefit corporation in order to increase presence in meeting the needs of today's hybrid work place. SIY programs can be experienced in a variety of formats. Contact us to learn about the transformative effects that leading companies are experiencing building resilience, creativity and greater well-being in the workplace.
Team Facilitation - Listening and Communicating
A culture of empathy and trust:
- inspires people to perform at their highest level, because they feel valued and supported beyond their role or function.
- promotes listening as a foundational skill for leaders. When communication breaks down in a business, it often leads to declines in productivity, quality, and employee engagement.
- enhances psychological safety for teams to take risks which is paramount for creativity and innovation. We know first hand that the best ideas often come from those who are considered “outsiders”.

"Gerri offered training for our staff and community partners during 2020. She was incredibly flexible with changing COVID-expectations, delivering content in multiple formats and in two sessions to suit different learning styles. The content was paced well and relevant to anyone hoping to grow as a leader. The fact that Gerri not only answered questions but also took time to learn how to contextualize information for our faith-based nonprofit was particularly helpful and meaningful. I’d recommend her training for anyone looking to bring more compassion into their work."

“Through the mindfulness session at the retreat, I was able to build stronger relationships with my fellow YAMM participants, while also learning about myself and how I can improve my lifestyle. I was able to spend time alone and reflect on the previous days and weeks, allowing myself to take a breath from what was going on around me and just be present in the moment. The information that was presented to us at the retreat was extremely beneficial and can be applied to our everyday lives."

“During the fall retreat, I really appreciated learning about and practicing mindfulness. This is something I hear about and even teach to kids at work, but I didn’t take the time to do this for myself until the retreat. I also enjoyed having conversations with the other YAMM interns and serving alongside them during our day of service. The Fall Retreat was a neat opportunity to visit a new place and to expand my mental space beyond my work and daily life.”

"I had the good fortune to participate in a SIY session facilitated by Gerri Hudson. I walked away from the session feeling inspired, energized and much more informed about the power mindfulness and emotional intelligence can play in my life – professionally and personally. Going into the session, I was hoping to learn how to find more balance in my days, manage stress more effectively – for myself and my team – and to find ways to connect on a deeper level with people in more meaningful ways. That mission was accomplished."
