We believe that you are more than your career. Our coaching style embraces and encourages you as a whole person. We aim to align our coaching to meet your needs in this moment with the shared goal that our time leads to new discoveries, uncovers ideas and desires, and shakes the areas of life that feel stuck.

We believe coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. In contrast to therapy, we believe that coaching is focused on identifying where you are now versus focusing on items in the past. We believe you are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. Coaching is your journey. 

We provide whole-person coaching that supports our clients to:

• Embrace their strengths

• Explore the possibilities

• Champion authenticity

• Approach life from a place of gratitude and abundance

• Shift the power and ownership of external branding and narratives to self

• Be in the moment to connect head, heart, and gut.

• Nurture the orchestra of life as we find our drumbeat and harmony within the relationship of work, life, and self-care

• Identify ways to stop getting in their own way from a place of kindness and grace
