Thrive. Heal. Create.
Hello Sunshine, I’m Brenda Petrillo
I inspire women to boldly live in their truth and thrive amidst changes in life and career, help to activate her inner wisdom and innate capacity to heal all dimensions of the mind, body, soul from painful human experiences, and empower her to create a life she loves by enabling her to achieve transformative breakthroughs in personal growth, careers, relationships, and spiritual well-being.
My Story Is Just The Human Story
TRANSFORMATIONAL QUANTUM HEALER AND COACH
My story is just the human story - intense tragedy, illness, loss, divorce, abuse, spiritual confusion, abundance, exquisite joy, success, pleasure, and a profound quest to understand the beautiful, painful human experience.
My spiritual journey started when I received my first earth-bound assignment before conception. My birth came with expectations of hope that somehow my mother's manic depression and severe mental illness would simply go away. After witnessing my mom's first psychotic breakdown at eight years old, I felt like I had failed her. Two years later, I would lose my father to a terminally ill disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This was just the tip of the iceberg.
My soul lessons were vast and hard, and there was a myriad of them. Although painful and soul-crushing at times, I am grateful for every experience. I knew at a young age — I was destined for greatness, and I wasn’t about to let my karmic lessons stop me from being great! They became the fuel for the fire that radiates an abundance of love, light, and joy inside of me. During those intense human experiences, I discovered my spiritual gifts, talents, and passion for genuinely helping people live their best lives.
I am honored and humbled to walk with you on your journey to greatness.

As a young adult, I experienced loss of my mother to COPD, loss of my middle brother to drugs, loss of my older brother to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and abusive marriages that left me completely apathetic, emotionless, and spiritually lost. As someone who lived with fear every day, I found meaning amidst the most miserable circumstances. I was wise enough to know that small steps towards positive, transformative change are big steps.
And, I have braved taking massive action in my life and turned fear into fierce passion and purpose by helping women access the inner wisdom, to find the answers she seeks and the courage and resiliency to take the small steps to realize her unlimited potential to create lasting change leading to a meaningful life without sacrificing everything to achieve it.
I will help you to overcome barriers keeping you feeling stuck in life and career so we can make room for transformative breakthroughs in personal growth, careers, relationships, and spiritual well-being.

A natural initiator and leader, I have been making things happen and bringing my desires into reality since I was a little girl. The instability in my life as a young child had a profound influence on the high-achieving, professional woman I am today — driven, decisive, independent and self-sufficient. Despite my childhood ups and downs, nothing would dim my inner-light.
When I look back, my mom would often say, “Brenda you light up a room whenever you walk in.” I never truly understood what she meant - but I do now. I am grateful that the essence of “me” is felt by others in a way that brings a sense of calm, joy, love, and light.
As an initiator and creator in all aspects of my life — my wish is to show you how to create balance, harmony, and an enriched quality of well-being in your life.

I've been called many things and a Spiritual Ninja is one of them. Aside from sounding really cool — I wasn't aware there was any such thing. Turns out there's a few philosophies about the Spiritual Ninja. Who knew!
After my father passed away, I was ten years old when I turned around to see a shadowy figure standing behind me. Since then, I've been chasing the metaphysical and focused on cultivating spiritual refinement. It is my thought that a Spiritual Ninja is someone who believes there's more than the physical; beyond what the naked eye can see. I believe that energy is flowing everywhere and everything is energy — even our thoughts, feelings, and emotions — which can be felt and harnessed. As a Spiritual Ninja, there's something about the power, freedom, and connection of the mind, body, spirit that drives me to learn, practice, and live in service of others as the best human and practitioner I can be.
Maasaki Hatsumi describes the earliest ninja methods as “discerning what is right for the world, enduring, training to become a moral being, becoming aware of one’s destiny, and dedicating one’s life to other people or the world as a whole.”

In 2008, I moved to Beijing China for a 12-month work assignment. During my stay, I learned the art of Feng Shui and started incorporating Feng Shui into my personal space. In 2020, I was certified by well renown, Feng Shui Master, Lisa Montgomery in Tempe, AZ.
Fun fact: The soul of Feng Shui is “balance”. The heart of Feng Shui is “energy”. Feng Shui, like other energy healing modalities works when energy moves and flows freely and effortlessly like water gliding softly down a stream.

I made a promise to my older middle brother, Bobby that he would not die alone after accepting the enormous responsibility to be not only his advocate, but also his healthcare proxy. When it was his time, I was sitting bedside holding his hand when he took his last breath. Holding vigil for my brother was an extraordinarily beautiful experience that I will always cherish. He was in large part, the reason I dove head first into the End of Life Doula movement and hold two separate certifications from International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA) and the University of Vermont.
As a Soul Companion, I work with my dying clients and their loved ones to help them realize their purpose, dissolve their fear of death, remove feelings of regret, resentment, rejection, as well release helpless feelings from losing their loved ones. I also lovingly architect the surroundings of my dying client’s final days, hours, and moments. In some cases, I humbly sit bedside to walk with them as they cross the threshold between life and death.

Ready to get unstuck, and STOP going through the motions in life?
Big life changes, significant events, and trauma such as guilt about something, losing a loved one, facing the reality of one’s death, feeling socially unfulfilled, dissatisfaction with self, elimination of your job, dysfunctional workplace dynamics including self-imposed unrealistic expectations with perfectionist strivings — erode all six dimensions of the human experience on the physical, emotional, mental, familial, social and spiritual levels.
Every organ, tissue, and cell is made up of energy, and so are the non-physical aspects of yourself. Beliefs, emotions, feelings, and thoughts — are also made up of energy — each having its own unique vibrational frequency.
When feelings and emotions are not resolved from human life experiences — energy gets stuck in the body and shows up through symptoms like fatigue, stress, anxiety, fear, overwhelm, chronic pain…
Often, it triggers burnout or an existential crisis.
When viewed from this standpoint, energetic balance is paramount to your overall health, well-being, and quality of life.
The great news is you can unblock and redirect your energy through proven methods and tools that holistically address the mind, body, and soul.
In that harmony, you can dissolve repetitive cycles and become the person you want to be — the person you’re meant to be.
As your unwavering advocate, mentor, and coach, I will guide, help, and support you to thrive, heal, and create transformative breakthroughs in personal growth, relationships, careers, spiritual well-being, life purpose, and fulfillment.
