Vivienne Katahena - Full Bloom Coach & Founder
Based in the UK — supporting women globally through 1:1 video sessions.
Full Bloom is a culmination of my professional experience, my cultural background and my role as a guide. Throughout my life, I've always been passionate about helping people to realise their fullest potential
Why I Do This Work
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to helping others find their way through seasons of change. As a mother, a listener, and someone who’s navigated deep personal transformation myself, I understand how easy it is to lose sight of who you are — and how powerful it is to come home to yourself.
Coaching felt like a natural extension of everything I’ve done in my career: guiding, supporting, encouraging. It brings together my experience in education, psychology, and wellbeing — and channels it into meaningful, one-on-one support for women who are ready to grow.
This work is deeply personal to me. I believe every woman deserves a space where she is fully seen, heard, and supported — and that’s what I’ve created through Full Bloom.
