Reclaim Your Personal Agency
Welcome to Cole Baker-Bagwell Coaching! I’m an ICF Certified Coach, Certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Facilitator, and a Certified Reiki Practitioner. I’ve been practicing mindfulness for 30+ years. I’m unapologetically obsessed with our agency to define our lives. I offer onsite coaching services in Raleigh, N.C. and virtual coaching services across the U.S. If you’re wrestling limiting beliefs like imposter syndrome, fear, or uncertainty, experiencing low confidence, navigating a life transition, making a career pivot, or chasing a dream goal, I can help.
I coach you to clear the mental, emotional, and energetic “sludge” that keeps your mind stuck, your nervous system stressed, and your momentum stalled. My coaching methodology integrates mind-body science, somatic practice, mindfulness, and meditation. This is a powerful combination that supports you in developing insights, practices, and tools that help you overcome limiting beliefs, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim your agency to define your life.
Overcome Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs like imposter syndrome, fear, worry, and self doubt are mental “sludge” that disrupt your thinking, deplete your energy, and fuel those unfortunate moments of emotional reactivity we experience when the system is out of balance. Limiting beliefs can lead to unhealthy thinking patterns like rumination and behaviors that overload your nervous system, negatively impact your health, and shroud your agency.
I coach you to overcome self- limiting beliefs by understanding where they come from, how they show up, and how they’re impacting your mind, body, and lived experience. If you’re ready to develop insight, tools, and practices that help you rewire your thinking, let’s talk.
Reduce Stress & Overwhelm
Stress and overwhelm sabotage your mind and body. I coach you to develop practices and tools to regulate your nervous system— one conversation at a time.
I use somatic practice to help you understand how your mind and body communicate. I coach you to activate the healing power of the vagus nerve and develop practices that improve vagal tone and holistic health.

- Reduces stress and overwhelm

- Builds mental resilience
- Expands self-awareness
- Increases clarity, critical thinking, and focus
- Strengthens confidence

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cole has an incredible way of making her clients feel like they are the most important part of her day. During each conversation, the importance of being present and grounded in the moment helped make every discussion a success. I was slightly skeptical before meeting Cole about where our discussions would go and whether we would talk about high-level "leadership skills" in a theoretical way. I was amazed after our first conversation how much I learnt about myself and naturally uncovered. Cole has a unique way of asking challenging but thought provoking questions that really get to the heart of the topic. I left every interaction with Cole with a renewed sense of energy and a desire to put into practice what we discussed.
