I work with leaders to enhance their agency, impact, and influence.
Who do you coach?
I work with a range of clients, not all are executive. There are four criteria that my clients meet:
They strive to positively impact the world around them
They don’t shy away from commitment or challenge
They’re open to alternate points of view
They’re inspiring to engage with. They bring intelligence and expertise to the table and I get to learn from them.
Why is your focus on clients in leadership roles?
The world needs more effective, empathetic, and embodied leaders.
A high emotional toll comes with leadership & there’s stigma around seeking help. Studies show that burnout & stress lead to lower levels of complex cognitive functioning and a decrease in consideration of alternative solutions. This in turn leads to reduced performance, reduced job satisfaction, and increased withdrawal & turnover.
I’m generally a successful, high-performing leader. Do I need a coach?
We hire skilled professionals in all areas of life: to cook for us, to educate us, to manage our money – coaching is no different. Instead of food or finance, the medium of coaching is change.
What could you create in the world with someone actively by your side encouraging introspection and action?
How do I distinguish a skilled coach from an unqualified coach?
A skilled coach will be able to create new distinctions for you on a discovery call. They won’t be pitching you their services, they’ll be showing you their skillset in action from the start.
They’ll meet you where you are with deep inquiry, and you’ll feel excited about what they can help you create in your life.
What is somatic coaching?
The root of somatic is soma – it translates to “the body”. The ancient Greeks used it to refer to the mind, body, spirit complex – the full expression of a human.
This isn’t traditional leadership coaching. I don’t set performance metrics or track achievements. My focus is on cultivating deeper emotional & somatic intelligence.
somatic coaching is focused on:
Increasing resilience under stress
Building emotional intelligence (EQ)
Cultivating bodily intelligence
Learning tools that support a regulated nervous system
Will this type of coaching support both my personal development and my business & leadership goals?
Your somatic state impacts your capacity for presence & resilience, as well as your ability to make strategic decisions under stress. These leadership capacities directly impact your business outcomes, employee retention, and the synergy & productivity of your team. Who you are at work influences who you are at home.
The way we do one thing is the way we do all things.
Why did you choose coaching?
In my late 20’s I entered into my first coaching relationship and…. over the course of that year I was supported, encouraged, challenged, and expanded in ways that created meaningful and lasting change.
I chose the lane of coaching because I wanted the freedom to use a variety of tools that resonate with me & my clients. Coaching allows me to create a unique container informed by myriad modalities, trainings, & lineages.
What’s your style of coaching like?
Clients describe me as a skillful facilitator, innovative, gentle yet firm, and distinctly insightful. I take my work seriously and have invested hundreds of hours & tens of thousands of dollars in my own training to develop the skill, support, and service that I provide. My commitment to my growth over the years is a foundational piece of my approach. I don’t have it all figured out – I’m human and ever evolving just like you.
Each coaching engagement is custom to the client. I work with most clients for at least year, meeting weekly or bi-weekly. I ask that you commit fully to our coaching engagement & follow through with the practices. In turn, you can count on me to be inquisitive and persistent, holding you to the highest expression of your potential.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
