Personalized coaching

tailored to you

I will help you solve for these types of situations:

  • navigate changes of summer break, travel, and school with kids

  • get out and connect with your communities

  • build confidence in language dynamics at home

... and many other needs that are unique to your story.

Because sometimes in the midst of chaos

where we are overrun by kids (and pets),

we can still find joy,

and then we can find

moments of calm and connection.

What makes me different?

The approach

I’m interested in the family as a whole.

I have no expectations or judgment that you do things a certain way.

You may be wanting to go deep into language or you may be letting things go and that’s ok.

What’s important to you drives what fits you.

I am interested in the relationships you have that will open up opportunities for you now.

I look at where you’ve been in the past and possibilities in the future.

I see the importance of a supportive community.

I know these can be emotional topics and you need to feel comfortable and safe.

I understand the desire to feel that you and your children belong wherever you are.

What will we talk about when we meet?

We’ll chat and get to know each other.

I’ll ask some basic questions about your story of what brings you here.

We’ll see what parts of your life you are wanting to grow.

We’ll explore how we can get you there!

Who are you looking to connect with?

  • MY WHOLE SELF

    (past, present and future)

    (physical, mental and emotional)

    so that I can become

    whoever I want to be.

  • MY FAMILY

    so that I feel confident at home,

    can let go of expectation and guilt,

    and find love, energy and joy.

  • MY LOCAL COMMUNITY

    to find and create

    opportunities and relationships

    where we feel we belong,

    just as we are,

    and have space to grow.

  • MY GLOBAL NETWORK

    where I feel the power of women

    who share a common ground

    and bring diverse experiences

    to create a valuable web of support

    that is there when I need it.
