Work With Me

Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose. Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

Does this sound like you?

✔️ You are in the thick of change

✔️ You want your next chapter to feel fulfilling and vibrant

✔️ You crave deeper and meaningful connections

✔️ Your well-being has taken a hit and you want to replenish

If you’re nodding along, let’s talk - I’d love to help you find your footing and create what’s next.

  • Includes: 

    Bi-weekly coaching

    Six 45-minute 1:1 coaching sessions

    Strengths assessment

    Additional assessments as needed

    One laser-focus 30-minute session if desired

  • Want to experience coaching in community? Gather a few of your closest friends for a powerful, customized group program. We’ll meet regularly to explore real-life challenges, learn practical tools, and support one another in a structured, facilitated, and encouraging space. Each session includes peer coaching, guided experiments to try between meetings, and gentle accountability to help you move forward. Group coaching works best with 4–6 friends.
