Let’s be honest: you’re not a cookie. 

So you don’t need a cookie cutter approach. 

Each coaching program is customized to your individual needs, interests, phase in life and desired level of commitment and transformation. 

Services can include one, or all of, the following:

Mindfulness, life and business coaching

Using mindfulness and meditation as a foundational practice, first we we’ll help you get clear on what you really want in life and business. We do this by looking at your values, your life purpose and by being honest about what it is that you really want. Next we’ll look at the beliefs and mindset that have gotten in the way in the past, and help you to create new, more life-affirming ones. We’ll explore the habits and practices that will support you moment by moment, really get to understand the patterns that can sabotage you (with compassion) and begin to turn them around. Finally we’ll teach you how to manage your energy (not your time but your energy!) and how to process your emotions and any stuck survival energy in your nervous system so that you can stay on track and truly create the work and life you were born to have. Accountability, support, compassion, commitment, and fun are all part of the mix to help you get what your heart truly desires and finally let go of what no longer serves you.

psychedelic, ketamine and entheogenic integration

The psychedelic renaissance we’re living through provides tremendous opportunities for healing, growth, transformation and spiritual awakenings. Creating intentions for your entheogenic journeys and processing them in a safe, non-judgmental space is vital to benefitting the most from these life-altering experiences, especially in non-indigenous settings. So, too, is getting the support you need to integrate the insights you may have in a life-affirming and also grounded way so you don’t fall into the all-too-common pattern of spiritual bypass. Set, setting and support work synergistically for you to manifest your greatest and highest good in an embodied and practical way. We work together to unravel the mysteries of your psychedelic experiences in Palm Springs, Joshua Tree and around the world to help you to create the outcomes in your life that you’ve always wanted. 

somatic experiencing

Trauma is a fact of life. But it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger, this gentle body-based psychotherapy is a powerful ally in the healing of stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression and a host of physical ailments, such as digestive disorders, auto-immune conditions, sleep issues and more. Ideally as part of an integrated program of long-term coaching (or as a stand alone service on a case by case basis), this healing modality helps you move beyond managing your nervous system (with food, alcohol, drugs, shopping, sex, etc) into a healthier, more regulated nervous system that can support your vision, goals and deepest desires. It’s also a wonderful partner of relapse prevention for folks in recovery who may still be struggling with depression, anxiety, feeling stuck or relationship difficulties. Transforming trauma through SE then can become perhaps the source of your deepest spiritual richness and allow you to more fully share your gifts to the world.

Retreats

When you can’t run off to a Greek Island, a Private Retreat can be just the thing to get you centered, back on track and more mindful in your life. In as little as one day (or even half a day if you are really pressed for time), you can start to get back to the juicy, grounded, authentically inspired human being you were born to be. Your day can include everything from mindfulness and meditation practice, yoga, Somatic Experiencing and easy hiking plus the ideal surroundings for getting clearer on your life purpose, identifying your values and making some important decisions. This is a great option for a stay-at-home retreat on Zoom video or if you’re visiting Palm Springs on vacation and are looking to do something more meaningful, restorative and inspiring than simply hanging out by the pool (yet again). All retreats also include follow-up integration support for when you go back home, too.

Trauma-informed Mindful yoga

Can’t still still enough to meditate? You’re not alone. For many people, mindful yoga is a fantastic way to begin to come into the present moment. Our practice is a gentle approach that will support you in being fully present to the thoughts, sensations, emotions and experiences that arise when you are on the mat. This approach is a trauma-informed one that recognizes that much of the tension and stress in the body also holds important emotional, psychological and spiritual information. Rather than checking out of the body and thinking about the to-do list, you learn to get present, feel the sensations in your body, be open to the information it has and allow it to be transformed. What you do on the mat, that can be the template for how you live your life off the mat where it really counts. In addition, this embodied offering can be an excellent addition to work you are doing with a primarily talk-based coach, psychotherapist or other healer.

Professional and organizational development

Do you run a mission-driven company or organization that has lofty ideals of social, economic or climate-justice but have a hard time in implementing them without creating burnout, stress and anxiety? If so, embodied, culturally-responsive, trauma-informed organizational and professional development may be just what your executive board, management team or front-line employees need to feel supported, resilient and equipped to sustainably support the mission. Trainings are all based on an initial consultation and needs assessment, can be in person and/or online and can accommodate your budget. Topics range from understanding the nervous system, to creating a climate of embodied resilience, dismantling systemic oppression and much more. To inquire, please drop a line to get the ball rolling.
