Mindfulness Coaching


Temple of Laphrodite Mini Magic Spells

  • Don't quite need therapy, but navigating a life change?
  • Want to improve your life on all levels: mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and financial?
  • Need some accountability to keep you on course?
  • Even if it is good, ready for your life to get even better?

Mindfulness Coaching is much like having a Personal Trainer for your mind, someone who understands your unique needs, knows how to bring out your strengths, and is here to push you just that little bit further than you would go yourself - because they believe in you, wholeheartedly, and hold the vision of your optimal success, helping you keep your eyes on the prize as a mentor and guide.


Kayla Garnet Rose, PhD

Kayla Garnet Rose, PhD, acts as a guide, coach, and mentor. She provides the time, the space, and a support system with integrative tools, customized to your personal needs, set at your own pace, on your own schedule.

  • Strengthen Willpower and increase confidence

Here's what others are saying:



"Kayla is a very bright and understanding individual. She is very professional and I enjoyed our session very much. She was very in tune with my problem and had a lot of suggestions to alleviate it. I really think that she can help me." - S.M., Santa Cruz, Square Feedback: March 2017

Angie's List Review: "I visited Kayla for hypnotherapy to help improve my overall career happiness. Kayla's approach is to guide you in various ways to find answers for yourself -- she will not tell you what to do. In my case, under hypnosis, she led me to explore what aspects of my work were most satisfying to me. As a result, I gained some valuable and surprising insights into my own motivations. As an experienced practitioner, Dr. Rose is insightful, compassionate, encouraging, and very professional. I highly recommend her for hypnotherapy." - Charles Chapin, San Jose

"Kayla is the most amazing person I have used for personal transformation. Whatever part of my life I want to address, Kayla has the most excellent insights with which to help me get to where I wish to be. I feel totally comfortable working with her." - Lisa Carter, Santa Cruz, LinkedIn recommendation

Kayla is awesome to work with. She listens wholeheartedly and is helping me integrate what I know to be true for myself.

I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a deeper knowledge of self in relation to this world we all share. - Silvia G., Santa Cruz on Yelp

Kayla did wonders with my daughter in college, who was going through some difficult times. She was impressed with Kayla's knowledge and comfortable rapport. To her, Kayla is a "wise woman".- Vicki B., Santa Cruz, CA, Yelp Review

    "I just wanted to thank you for helping me when I needed it. I made it to where I wanted to be a few years ago and will continue to achieve goals set years ago and recently adjusted. You were an extremely positive force in my life, and I want to thank you. After our first session, I went for dinner with my dad and stepmom, and we ran into my godparents from when I was little. I had reason to use the restroom and saw myself in the mirror while washing my hands. I was surprised to see someone attractive and confident, versus all the negative feelings I had been harboring for years." H.G. on Facebook

    "Dr. Rose is an excellent Coach and has guided me to my Life's Purpose of being a Naturopath. Through Astrology, she encouraged me to look at the layers of life; through the Tarot, she taught me to listen and look inward for answers; and, with Business and Life Coaching, she has shown me how to successfully start my business and be helpful and of service to others." - Gina L. on Yelp

    "From my first session with her, I felt as though I was thrust back into the flow of the universe, after a difficult period of feeling afloat without direction. I think what I most appreciate and respect about her is that she is a teacher; from the start, it was clear to me that she wants to help me find and be in the solution. She is completely forthcoming with a remarkable array of useful information and resources. I don't know if anyone has ever helped me more in such a short period."- Clarissa B. on Yelp

    Laphrodite's Guide to Mindful Menopause 
    or the Adventures of a Baby Crone
    by Kayla Garnet Rose, Ph.D.

    An enchanting collection of midlife musings, moon magic, and meditations for mindful menopause. Kayla offers anecdotes, potential antidotes, and some not-so-common advice.

    According to the Mayo Clinic, menopause is experienced by over 3 million women a year in the United States alone. What makes this book different is viewing menopause as a time of incredible spiritual growth and creativity, rather than just a physical experience that needs a special diet or more exercise.

    The book offers concrete tools such as guided visualizations, meditations, and rituals to honor this significant passage in a woman's life. Rather than a dry reference book, it includes humorous stories, inspiring poetry, and juicy practices to experience mindful menopause. 

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I love the artwork and how it goes along with the readings. It was empowering and beautiful, giving an honest portrayal of the fem experience. Highly recommend! - Kaileigh Otsuka
