About Me
I’ve Lived It. Now I Help You Through It.
Hi, I’m Cinderella de Groot
I’m a somatic transformational facilitator, mother of two, and the founder of Divine Light Collective, a space dedicated to rebuilding lives with emotional clarity, nervous system regulation, and embodied empowerment.
My work is rooted in something I know deeply:
a woman’s life can fall apart and still become the beginning of her greatest chapter.
I’ve rebuilt my life multiple times, after heartbreak, hurricanes, relocation across continents, career reinventions, and the moment I realized I had completely outgrown who I used to be. Every transition required me to find my voice again, trust my body again, and choose myself again.
This lived experience became the foundation of my signature process, the Sacred Rebuild Method™—a blend of:
Nervous system healing & polyvagal-informed tools
Somatic release & emotional regulation
Breathwork, sound healing & intuitive movement
Trauma-aware coaching
Spiritual embodiment & energetic alignment
Identity reinvention practices
I support women who are navigating the “in-between” — the space where something ended, but the new life hasn’t fully formed yet. Together, we create emotional safety, inner clarity, and a grounded path forward.
Whether you work with me through private sessions, group programs, retreats, or my upcoming online course, my intention is always the same:
to help you return to yourself… so your rebuild becomes the most powerful chapter of your life.
Credentials & Professional Experience
Alongside my private and group work, I’ve facilitated nervous-system regulation, mindfulness, and embodiment practices within corporate, educational, and institutional settings.
My work has been trusted by organizations including the Chopra Center, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), Naval Base San Diego, and Menifee school district, where I supported individuals and groups with stress regulation, emotional resilience, and embodied wellbeing.
This experience allows me to bring grounded structure, safety, and professionalism into deeply human and transformative spaces.

About My Work
Somatic Healing • Emotional Rebuild • Nervous System Reset
Life has a way of shaking us awake.
For some women, it happens through heartbreak, divorce, or a painful ending.
For others, it shows up as burnout, overwhelm, and carrying too much responsibility for too long.
My work is for the woman who is strong, high-achieving, intuitive, but emotionally exhausted and ready for a deep, embodied reset.
I combine somatic healing, nervous system regulation, emotional release, breathwork, and embodiment practices to help you reconnect with your body, release what’s been stored, and rebuild yourself from the inside out.
Whether you're navigating heartbreak, a major life transition, or simply feel disconnected from who you used to be, my Sacred Rebuild Method™ guides you through four stages:
REGULATE — reset your nervous system and return to safety in your body
INTEGRATE — process emotions, break patterns, and release what you’ve been holding
SELF-WORTH — rebuild your identity, confidence, and internal foundation
EXPAND — rise into the new season of your life with clarity, power, and purpose
My approach blends science and soul — grounded, trauma-informed techniques with intuitive wisdom, movement, energy work, and transformational facilitation.
This is not mindset coaching.
This is whole-body healing for women who are ready to rise again.
If you’re rebuilding after heartbreak, burnout, or life’s unexpected storms…
you don’t have to do it alone.
This is your space to breathe, reset, and come back home to yourself.
If you’re ready to rise — I’m here to walk beside you.
The Heart Behind Divine Light Collective
Divine Light Collective was born out of my own season of deep rupture: divorce, single motherhood, betrayal, burnout and the unraveling of the life I thought I had built for good. In that breakdown I discovered that healing is not about fixing what is broken. It is about coming home to what is real.
Divine Light Collective, legally structured as The House of Light, is a California religious nonprofit organization. In practice, this means I can offer spiritual counseling, community support and healing spaces in a values-led way, without dogma and without asking you to subscribe to a specific belief system.
This work is created for women navigating life after divorce, trauma or major transition who want grounded, practical support that also honors the deeper layers of meaning in their story.
Through trauma-informed coaching, nervous system healing, somatic practices and spiritual counseling, I support women to:
Heal emotional wounds
Interrupt old survival patterns
Reconnect with their bodies, intuition and inner guidance
Make clear, steady choices about their next chapter
Divine Light Collective is a place to be witnessed, supported and resourced while you rebuild your life.
