Coaching at the Threshold
Unearth the seeds of who you are. Tend to your ecosystem. Cultivate new ways of living and leading.
My Approach: Leading as Gardening
I see coaching and leadership as gardening. You are the garden and the gardener. We begin from the premise that the seeds of your fullest potential always and already reside in you. Your life’s work is to discover and tend to these seeds.
From there, we get our hands in the dirt and begin your inner work. We dig beneath the surface of your awareness to reveal your well-watered, under-watered, and over-watered seeds. We get to know them and how they impact those you serve.
You get to decide what seeds you want to cultivate in your garden - what is most important and alive for you? What has your life been preparing you for? Who will your garden serve?
Now it’s time to step back and begin your outer work - to create the enabling conditions in your life and work for your seeds to flourish, even in the most inhospitable weather.
This means identifying and pulling out the weeds at the roots. Making sure your seeds get the right amount of sunlight and nutrients – psychological, social, physical and spiritual.
My role is to help you learn to listen and attune to your garden while offering tools and guidance to access more of who you are in real time.
As you deepen and expand your awareness, you’ll begin to see and experience your garden as a uniquely vital part of a living, breathing ecosystem. That every step you take and word you utter is infused with meaning by virtue of impacting the larger whole.
From this awareness, your leadership is limitless.

Each session builds on the last, creating a coherent journey.
Through our work together, you will unfold your capacity to:
Create from conflict to bring more aliveness and authentic connection to your relationships.
Align with who you are at your core and the life you were born to lead.
Make wise decisions by accessing your integrated intelligence of mind, heart, and gut.
Reframe self-limiting beliefs to open new sources of energy and resilience within you.
Principles and Practice
My coaching draws from over 15 years working with a range of leaders from business executives to Olympic athletes, entrepreneurs, educators, and creatives.
I use principles and practices rooted in applied psychology, contemplative traditions, neuroscience and experiential learning modalities.
These tools, combined with the courageous vulnerability of my clients, allow us to experience incredible results in a short period of time.
Most importantly, I bring an unwavering devotion to you showing up as your whole self for those you love and wish to serve in your one, precious life.

What Makes This Different
I see our journey as a rite of passage disguised as 1:1 coaching. Our work is ultimately about becoming more of who you are and leading from that place. I’ve designed my approach to walk a middle path between two polarities in leadership coaching.
The outside-in path focuses on how you’re leading (competence) while ignoring where you’re leading from (consciousness). The inside-out path assumes that inner work will inevitably result in personal and systemic change.
My integrative approach recognizes that deep, abiding change has only ever lived at the nexus of inner and outer development – cultivating the self awareness to lead from the whole of your intelligence and the skillful means to transform the systems you inhabit.
How to Begin
Step 1:
Free Consult
This is a chance to tell me what you’re looking for, ask me any questions about my experience and approach, and for us to assess if we are a fit. If it’s clear that we are a match for your needs and orientation, you can book your first session immediately.
Step 2:
Mutual Commitment
Most clients begin with a 3 or 6-month commitment and are billed on a monthly retainer. Each path is custom-designed and includes 1:1 sessions, text/email support, and unscheduled phone support. All sessions are conducted online via video conferencing.
Step 3:
Collaborative Journey
How we proceed with the work is designed in partnership with you and structured around your particular leadership orientation and growth edge, while spacious enough to allow real transformation to occur. Typically, we begin by working weekly and can move to bi-weekly depending on the progress and need.
