About

Meet Cadence

I’m Cadence Gardner, an author, content writer, life coach, and certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor. My work lives at the meeting point of healing, clarity, and the written word. Everything I create, whether it’s a book, an article, or a coaching session, is rooted in the belief that transformation begins with understanding yourself and finding language for your experience.

As a survivor of domestic violence and narcissistic abuse, I approach both writing and coaching from a trauma-informed place. I don’t speak from theory alone. I speak from lived experience, deep study, and a commitment to helping others feel seen and supported. My work blends emotional insight with practical tools so that the people I work with can move forward with confidence and compassion for themselves.

I’m the author of Transformation Through the Zodiac, a guided astrological journal series that explores healing, personal growth, and spiritual self-discovery. My writing focuses on trauma recovery, relationships, wellness, and the inner work of becoming who you’re meant to be. Writing has always been one of the ways I make sense of the world. It’s how I process, how I heal, and how I connect. It’s also how I help others find clarity in their own stories.

My coaching and my writing are deeply connected. Both are grounded in the same intention. I want to help people understand themselves, trust their inner voice, and move through life with more ease and self-awareness. Whether I’m supporting a client through a coaching session or shaping a piece of writing that will reach thousands of readers, my goal is always to offer clarity, validation, and a steady path forward.

My work draws from Ayurveda, life coaching, astrology, herbalism, and holistic wellness. These practices allow me to meet people where they are and guide them toward deeper balance and self-understanding. I believe healing is both personal and practical. I strive to make every interaction feel safe, grounded, and genuinely supportive.

I grew up in Sacramento and now live in Humboldt with my husband, our three children, and our cat. I find inspiration in nature and in the quiet rituals of everyday life. When I am not writing or coaching, you’ll find me embracing the chaos of parenting, studying astrology, practicing herbalism, crafting tinctures and teas, or walking peacefully through the forest or along the beach.

If you’re seeking guidance, clarity, or a deeper connection to yourself, I’m here to support you with warmth, honesty, and a grounded presence. Whether through the written word or through one-on-one coaching, I’m committed to helping you move toward a life that feels aligned, authentic, and deeply your own.
