The Alchemy of Transformation
My coaching approach is built on a foundation that honors transformation as a sacred process. A modern day rite of passage that has supported human evolution for thousands of years. I combine professional coaching expertise with ceremonial practices rooted in indigenous wisdom traditions, creating a unique framework that goes far beyond traditional coaching models.
The Ceremonial Container
Every coaching engagement follows a three-phase ceremonial structure:
Severance - Creating space to let go of old stories, identify your deeper needs, and clarify what you truly want. This phase involves deep listening, powerful questioning, and practices that help you move beyond surface-level goals to discover what's calling you at a soul level.
Threshold - Conscious experimentation with the unknown. This is where transformation actually happens—not through talking about change, but through embodied experience. Whether in nature or through other modalities, you'll engage in practices that create new neural pathways, break old patterns, and generate the visceral, felt experiences that become anchors for lasting change.
Incorporation - Integration and accountability. Transformation without integration is just inspiration. This phase focuses on establishing rituals, tracking progress, celebrating milestones, and building sustainable practices that keep you aligned with who you're becoming.
Nature as Collaborator
While not all sessions occur outdoors, nature connection is fundamental to my approach. The natural world provides:
A safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and vulnerability
Infinite metaphors that help you understand your internal landscape
Sensory-rich experiences that engage your nervous system differently than indoor environments
A powerful mirror reflecting your own capacity for adaptation, resilience, and renewal
Practices for grounding, baseline awareness, and nervous system regulation
Nature reminds us that we are not separate from the cycles of growth, death, and rebirth. When we collaborate with the natural world, we tap into wisdom that transcends our thinking minds and reconnects us with our primal, intuitive knowing.
