Coaching to Ignite Your Life, Work, & Soul

Art by Suze Corte

You aren’t here to just “get by.”

You’re here to shine your light, 

do your thing, 

& enjoy the hell out of your life.

It’s time to stop thinking so much

& start having more fun.

Coaching gets you out of your overactive mind & back into your body. As a trained Wayfinder coach, I can help you connect with your embodied wisdom, energy, and confidence, so you have the courage to live out your purpose with unapologetic joy.

You want off the hamster wheel,

to do work that matters,

& to feel alive again.

You want work that honors your humanity,

doesn’t glorify a life of hustle,

and values what a badass you are.

Coaching can revolutionize the way you work. I’ll give you brass-tacks, practical guidance to advocate for what you want, navigate overwhelm, or pivot your career. It’s possible for your work to feel like play, make an impact, and meet your material needs.

The world is on fire.

Let it ignite you.

I want to help you

take your rage, grief, and fear

& turn it into fuel

that empowers change.

Coaching helps you alchemize your emotions and get calm & clear in these chaotic times. Instead of being frozen with indecision or fear, I can help you hear the quiet truth of what you’re meant to do next…and actually do it. Changing the world starts here.

You’re a superstar,

but you’re sick of doing

everything by yourself.

Magic happens

when you have a witness, cheerleader, and sacred guide

to walk with you.

Coaching gives you a skilled partner & personal champion devoted to your wellbeing & wildest dreams. Sometimes it takes a mirror—a compassionate guide—to help you see your gifts and learn to trust yourself. The collaboration makes you braver.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Coaching is a magical partnership for making practical moves. You steer, and I help you drive. 

    Imagine having someone enthusiastically in your corner as you navigate life or work, fully dedicated to helping you feel better in your daily life and move towards what you want most.

    Imagine if that person was highly skilled at asking powerful questions that cut through the noise and reconnect you to your truest, most confident self. 

    And imagine if that person had advanced training, a trove of experience, and incredible tools to help you thrive and come alive. 

    That’s a tiny glimpse of what I offer as a coach.

  • Together in our sessions, I’ll help you figure out: What do you really want, deep down? How do you want your days to feel? What’s holding you back? What unfulfilled dreams do you have in your life or work, and what support do you need to move in that direction? 

    In coaching, we don’t just talk about it (like therapy). I give you actual tools to connect to your confidence, wisdom, and magic. And together, we’ll help you make actual, tangible changes at your own organic pace, in a direction YOU decide. 

    You’ll ask for the raise. Share your art. Go on a date. Let yourself nap. Plan a sabbatical. Reinvent yourself.

    Simply put, coaching will change you.

  • In short, therapy works beautifully in tandem with coaching because they serve different needs.

    Here’s a (mediocre) analogy. If you got lost in the woods, a therapist would help you understand how you got there, a consultant would air-lift you out, and a coach would show you how to use your inner compass to help you find the right path.

    Therapists help people diagnose, heal, and cope with mental health challenges and maintain good working order and functionality. Therapy sessions tend to analyze, understand, and heal the past. 

    Coaching is for people who have support with their mental health, feel relatively steady, and are ready to blossom. In coaching, we’ll talk about the past sometimes, but we mostly help you navigate obstacles in the present so you can create an intentional, exciting future.

    When you work with me, you also get juicy follow-up emails after each session with notes, next steps, and resources. As one client tole me, “I LOVE this. You don’t get this with therapy.” Long-term clients also get lifetime access to my digital treasure trove of resources and teachings. It’s like an ongoing masterclass for your life and career. 

  • As your career advisor, I can help you create a work situation that lights you up, doesn’t drain you, and pays the bills. If you're ready to transform your work, this is for you.

    If you want to get coached on one work-related issue in one hour, schedule a Starter Session (for first-time clients) or a Spotlight Session (for returning clients).

    If you’re ready to transform your work, purchase the Work-Your-Magic Career Advising package for a 3-month partnership. You’ll get 5 highly personalized sessions, 3 months of email support, AND lifetime access to every work-related course and resource I offer now or create in the future (it’s like an ongoing masterclass for navigating your career).

    I can help if any of these sound like you:

    • You're ready to change your career but don't know where to start

    • You're sick of hustling and crave more ease

    • You're feeling undervalued and want more money, accommodations, or opportunities

    • You're eager to make an impact and find your purpose

  • All my coaching offerings and rates are listed here.

    Right now, new clients can try their first session for just $50. No strings attached.

    My coaching and advising packages range from $225-750/month. 

  • Short answer: If you’re feeling a pull towards me, it’s likely we’re a good fit. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a session and try it out.

    Long answer:

    • I coach people who are ready to show up for themselves, go deep, and make changes. 

    • I coach people who have big hearts, curious minds, a thirst for life, and a lot to give.

    • I coach all genders.

    • I’ve noticed that most of my clients end up being my peers (30s/40s) or in their third chapter of life (60s/70s), but I love working with people in all phases of life.

    • I coach people whose lives or work are “fine” or “not great.” I don’t usually coach people who are in severe upheaval, crisis, or struggling to function. (Though I’ve been through all 3 and offer you these resources for navigating times of crisis.) 

    • I absolutely do work with people who are in therapy. (I mean, who’s not in therapy these days?)

    • My career advising clients tend to care about their work, want to make an impact, and have patterns of over-giving or feeling undervalued. I’ve helped people with all kinds of jobs or careers revolutionize their relationship to work and get paid well. 

    • Given my background, I LOVE working with museum workers and have special expertise and resources to offer you.

  • I bring enthusiastic encouragement, magical fairy powers, high emotional intelligence, calm embodied space holding, deep respect for your uniqueness, levity and humor, and a ton of practical work and life experience. 

    Clients have called me empathetic, compassionate, playful, “smart as fuck,” easy to talk to, funny, intuitive, welcoming, human, and a “soul whisperer.” They say my deep lived experience helps me “meet people where they are” and that I have “a way of asking questions that drill down and unlock the heart of the matter.”

    My coaching tools include delicious self-inquiry through powerful questions, tapping into your body's messages and dreams through guided exercises, processes for unwinding and shifting negative thoughts, techniques for discovering your true desires, actionable tools for finding freedom and purpose, and practical skills for making changes without overwhelm.

  • Coaching sessions are usually 60 minutes on Zoom, though I’m open to other formats. At the beginning of each session, I'll ask if you have something you want to focus on or if you want me to offer some options. Sometimes, you'll have a very clear intention for what shift you want to make during a session. Other times, you might bring a messy challenge or feeling, and I'll help you sort out what's going on and uncover what you need. If you don't have anything specific, I'll always have a few things in my back pocket to offer you--tools I think you'd love, exercises to help you with your goals, or something you've mentioned before that deserves more attention. How we spend the session is always a consensual discussion, and you should take or leave anything I offer. It's your time, so you're in charge!

You have buried longings

& hidden parts of your soul 

that are ready to break free.

Coaching helps you uncover what you actually want. Not what society thinks you should want. Not what your people think you need. But the multidimensional truth of what your soul craves. Now more than ever, the world needs you to be your full self and bring your visions to life.

I want to help you trust yourself, thrive in your work, and come to life.

Are you ready?
