“Transformation isn’t a butterfly. It’s the thing before you get to be a pretty bug flying away.”
— Cheryl Strayed
“So what, exactly, does a transition + transformation coach do?”
It’s a question I get a lot.
My role is to help clients access their own courage, creativity, and strength during times of change. The result? A stronger sense of self as you navigate your journey.
I often meet my clients in the messy middle—the space where you might not feel like the graceful butterfly yet. Perhaps you’re facing a significant life transition: a move, a divorce, a new job, or even the arrival of a new baby. Or maybe life on the surface looks great, yet you wake up feeling stuck in the doldrums, sensing that something isn’t quite right. You know a shift is necessary, but you're unsure how to make it happen—or you do know and just need some supportive accountability.
That’s where I come in. I provide a space for you to explore your feelings, ask powerful questions, and gently challenge you to show up for yourself. Because when you fully engage with who you are, everything else becomes easier.
My approach integrates the lessons I’ve learned from a life full of unpredictability, combined with over a decade of experience in marketing and communications. As an expat who has moved internationally multiple times, I understand the complexities of change firsthand. I hold an ICF-accredited coaching certification through the International Coach Academy (ICA) and adopt a trauma-informed methodology in my work.
My process is intuitive and co-creative, striking a balance between art and science. I am fully present, engaging my head and heart while leaving space for the unexpected.
Scope of Practice
I focus on empowering women to navigate both external transitions and internal transformations. My work is anchored in my education, training, and experience, ensuring that I practice within my scope. Open communication is essential; I strive to meet your needs and will make referrals when appropriate to achieve the best outcomes.
Learning Lineage
I have been informed by everything I’ve learned (and am still learning). I have had the privilege of deepening my education with:
Bill Burnett & Dave Evans: authors and creators of Designing Your Life
Annie Gichuru: racial equity coach
Fálki Heiđdóttir: intuitive healer, guide, and artist
Katie Kurtz: trauma-informed care expert and trainer
Andrea Leda: Braver Coach founder
Crystaline Randazzo: storyteller and media creatrix
I draw inspiration from artists, activists, researchers, friends, family, and ancestors whose wisdom informs everything I do.
What is COaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” In coaching, we focus on the present and the future rather than the past, asking questions like “how?” and “what?” instead of “why?”
But what does that actually look like? It depends. The specifics of coaching can vary, as it is inherently client-centric. Your coaching experience will be uniquely tailored to your needs.
Does an ICF Credential Matter?
As an ICF-credentialed coach, you can be assured that I bring quality and excellence to my coaching practice through training (including continuing education) and a commitment to the ICF standards and ethics.
