Coaching For LEADERS AND PROFESSIONALS

What makes you feel alive? What are you longing to bring into your life? How might you better lead others? These are just a few questions that my coaching practice aims to help you explore. Partnering with a coach is the most effective way to get unstuck and make sustainable change. I want to be there for you as you explore what is, what’s next, and what’s most important in your life.

Mindfulness practice circles and exploration labs

Want to start meditating but don't know how to begin? Still unsure what all this mindfulness and meditation stuff is really about? I give individuals, groups, and companies accessible frameworks for understanding and practicing meditation and mindfulness. My aim is to connect each person with a way of practicing that resonates and becomes integrated into their daily lives. I’m passionate about cultivating wellness as a skill and believe mindfulness is a key ingredient.

Grief support, exploration, and dialogue

Loss is a transformative journey. Trained and influenced by work of the Zen Caregiving Project and Megan Devine’s Refuge in Grief, I provide individual and group coaching, as well as facilitated workshops to help individuals and groups navigate their own grief and their desires to support others in grief. Conversations about loss and grief are most often present in our lives when big, catastrophic losses occur. But there are lots of “smaller” losses we are navigating throughout life (i.e. moving, relationships ending/beginning, not getting what we want, leaving a school or job, etc.). The truth is our lives are constantly in transition, and with each transition we move through (even really positive change), experiences of loss and grief are present. To better support ourselves in moving through these moments and phases, it can be helpful to come to a deeper understanding of how grief and loss operate in our life, our tendencies in it, and how it can also be a companion to feeling more aliveness. I believe it's also important to presence common cultural narratives around loss, grief, and change that can influence how we unconsciously orient ourselves toward these events.

Body Liberation Coaching

Our body experiences many changes over the course of our life due to aging, illness, injury, disability, hormone, and weight changes (amongst many other journeys our bodies will take). And yet, we can often feel like the only acceptable orientation toward our physical bodies is that we must always be questing to change them in some way to meet certain body and/or beauty standards. But what if your body isn't a problem that needs solving? And instead of constantly seeking to improve or fix your physical self, you could experience your body as a source of wisdom and belonging? Or, at the very least, you could feel more aligned and ok with the body you’ve been given to experience life in? In one-on-one and in group sessions, I offer services designed to center curiosity around our sometimes dicey relationship with the lived experience of being in a physical body itself and what it might be like to liberate ourselves from historical, media-driven, and institutional messages about what bodies ”should” look like, do, and perform to be “acceptable” in service of creating more space for our aliveness to thrive.

Facilitation and interviewing

Whether it’s a meeting, offsite, event, panel discussion or interview, I am skilled at the art of facilitating thoughtful communication. Trained in design-thinking, participatory decision-making techniques, and social science research, I have a knack for making people feel comfortable, heard, and open to dialogue. I draw out critical insights, help participants reflect and make connections, and synthesize discourse. 

Curriculum design and program development

I have over 20 years of experience helping corporations, non-profits, and universities design, implement, and evaluate learning programs and experiences. I partner with you to identify learning outcomes and ensure your programs are scoped appropriately, are learner-centric, and have real impact (...as well as being fun and enjoyable!).
