​What is Life Coaching and how will we work together? 

​There’s a lot of confusion on what exactly a Life Coach does, especially in an unregulated field where anyone can call themselves a coach with out any real training.

I am fully certified and credentialed Life Coach.
I am continuously learning, researching and bringing new tools into my practice, but the essence of Life Coaching is this:

  • It’s recruiting your own agency through powerful questions and tools.
  • It’s meeting you where you're at, on YOUR agenda (not mine)
  • It’s working with you to get exactly where you want to be (once you’ve decided where “that” is!)
  • it's NOW and FUTURE focused (vs past focused)
  • It’s accountability every week with patience, non-judgement and compassion.
  • It’s the practice of meta cognition (thinking about thinking) in order to get actual, measurable results.
  • It’s seriously the best gift you can give to yourself (and those around you).


My training and my clients have made me a great coach. The work has been transformative for me personally in my day to day life.

​If you are a creative seeking personal growth, clarity of vision and measurable results, I'd love to work with you!

As always, first session is on me if your looking to change it up and need some real support.


COACHING WORKS.

When we better understand our brain (our most valuable tool), we can be in control of it,
instead of it being in control of us. ​

I use writing, thought exercises, accountability, listening, and open, honest communication around any issue that you bring to the table.

As your coach, I challenge you to embrace the discomfort of change in order to become the best version of you.


Any skill we want to master takes practice, patience and guidance. ​

We all want the shortcut to "a better life" but personal evolution and growth is a journey not a sprint.

​I like to think of coaching as a personal mind map which helps us navigate that wacky terrain up there. In doing so, we get to ditch old paths and make way for new paths, habits and ways of thinking that better serve us. This is how we evolve, become our own biggest advocate, and the best versions of ourselves.

My goal is to help you get the results you want, to guide you with patience, meet you where you're at without judgement, and challenge you in all the best ways.

​Coaching facilitates change. 
It transforms the lens through which we look at the world, our relationship to others,
our work, our creative practice and most of all, ourselves.
