My coaching philosophy

Your body is your vessel for life and living and a primary avenue through which your intuition speaks. 

My work with you is not to analyze your body. We are not going to optimize your body’s performance or biohack your being. At the heart of our partnership is the invitation to restore your relationship to your body after being in corporate environments that often disconnect you from it. We will honor, listen to and move at the pace of your body, ensuring that you feel safe and trusting that, as you do, your capacity to embody and pursue your goals will deepen. As you attune to your body, you also nurture your connection to your intuition.

There’s nothing to fix because you’re not broken.

As humans we are wildly complex, nuanced, messy and imperfect, but none of these aspects mean we are broken. The heart of the human experience is non-linear, and I believe that, in our different stages in life, we do the best we can with what we have. Our work together is not to “fix” you, but rather to honor your desire to show up in your life, work and creativity in a different way and to create the capacity for you to do so.

Individual wellness without collective wellness is incomplete.

We are all operating in complex societal systems that historically have caused disproportionate harm to individuals and communities across race, ethnicity, nationality, class, gender expression, sexual orientation, immigration status and other elements of lived experience. Individual embodiment and nervous system regulation is a profound act of agency and well-being, but it is only one part of wellness. Collective wellness integrates each individual’s part in addressing societal injustice, oppression and poverty. 

Creativity is not frivolous or superfluous– it is a vital human need. 

As humans, we are all inherently creative in the way we move through our lives. Throughout history in ordinary and extraordinary times, humans turn to creativity in all its forms for comfort, courage, connection, joy and meaning making. And for creative souls, creativity is vital for our well-being, just as much as nutrition, exercise and other healthy habits.

Work is more than a labor exchange–it is your meaningful contribution to the human collective. 

It is not naive to long for meaningful work, and as a creative soul it is essential for your well-being. Meaningful work expands beyond what we are paid to do. It is any work that is an expression of love, values, gifts, creativity, calling or craft. It is fluid and dynamic, changing as we move through different stages of life.
