Programs and Coaching for Discovery, Growth, and Transformation

Individual coaching and group programs help people reconnect with their wholeness and create well-being through exploration, discovery, healing, and growth.

Instead of operating from beliefs that limit who they are and how they show up for life, clients learn to source from their own inner wisdom and that of the natural world.

When clients live in right relationship – within themselves, with other people, and with the planet – they lead meaningful, fulfilling lives full of vitality, joy, and connection.

Through coaching, I help people clarify what they want and powerfully move toward it.

Here are some of the most common themes my clients to coaching.

Nearly all of us have ‘parts’ or voices in our heads (as in the Inside Out movies) that helped us survive childhood but that no longer serve us, now causing pain and distress. In coaching, clients learn how to recognize these inner critics and limiting beliefs, such as imposter syndrome, debilitating fear, and thoughts of being not good enough, not enough, or too much. Clients discover the power of connecting with their inner wisdom and truth, of being on their own side, and of staying grounded and centered, using mindfulness and self-compassion practices, among others. They are able to manage their minds more effectively and free up the energy to create what they truly want for themselves and others.

Trauma is what happens to you, and this type of support is about managing, honoring, and transforming the legacy of painful experiences so you’re empowered to thrive. This is mind-body-spirit work: supporting better nervous system and emotional regulation, cultivating self-compassion and well-being, as well as increasing the capacity for more life and more joy. Trauma has been my specialization in my psychology, mindfulness, and spiritual training, and I’m committed to serving people as they walk this courageous path.

Some clients come with a very precious dream that they want to make real, perhaps one they’ve never dared speak aloud – like writing a novel, becoming a global activist, or leading a more authentic, spiritually-fulfilling life. They often have inner voices of doubt, fear, and judgement that get in their way or even paralyze them. They need someone who recognizes and honors the sacred importance of their dream and who’s committed to supporting them every step of the way, sometimes carrying their dream for them when they can’t, so they can realize their vision.

Clients work through issues around loss, grief, rejection, and identity and gently confront those painful voices in their heads that have outlived their purpose and need more healthy job descriptions. And perhaps most importantly, they reconnect with their inherent wisdom and worthiness, increasing their sense of agency (that they have control over their lives and choices) and cultivating a greater sense of true belonging and connection.

Psychedelic medicines are incredibly powerful for healing – but require integration to create meaning from these experiences and lasting transformational shifts. I weave in my personal experience with psychedelic medicine, my training with indigenous healers and therapists, and my understanding from psychology, neuroscience, and indigenous and wisdom traditions to provide psychedelic integration support. I have worked extensively with veterans and their families through the VA, the National Centers for PTSD, and a nonprofit dedicated to ending veteran suicide, and I am particularly dedicated to providing psychedelic integration support for veterans and their families, as well as other survivors of trauma.

[NOTE: My work focuses on psychedelic integration only; I do not provide psychedelic medicine.]

I support clients in overcoming their Vitamin N (Nature) deficiency to thrive in a more present and integrated way, connected to the inherent wisdom within themselves and in the world around them. Using practices from Eastern traditions (Buddhism, mindfulness, yoga), Peruvian and North American indigenous medicine, and nature-based coaching, I help clients expand their life force energy to feel that sense of deep belonging, connection, well-being, and joy.
