I’m Dakota, but you can call me Koco. I’m the founder, CEO, and heart behind Koco Bloom, a sanctuary for those seeking peace, purpose, and transformation.

My journey began in challenge and chaos. Growing up, I faced severe anxiety that often left me in and out of the hospital. During that time, my mum was courageously fighting stage 4 cancer, and I became her carer while also caring for my little sister. Alongside this, I experienced bullying that deeply affected my mental health and body image, making me feel like I never really belonged.

Yet, through all of this, something sacred was unfolding — a quiet awakening. Those dark moments became my greatest teachers, guiding me inward toward healing, self-love, and truth.

Through meditation, journaling, and the soulful movement of Pilates, I began to rebuild from within. Day by day, I reconnected with my body, reclaimed my peace, and rediscovered my confidence. I am now unrecognisable from the person I once was — not because I changed, but because I remembered who I truly am.

Koco Bloom was born from this transformation — a space where others can find the same light within themselves. My mission is to share the practices that helped me bloom: mindfulness, movement, and the art of coming home to yourself.

Here, we celebrate healing, balance, and the beauty of becoming. Because no matter where you are on your journey, you are always one breath away from blooming into balance.

With love and gratitude,
Koco 🤍
