So blessed! ”I’ve known Savannah for over 14 years. She guided me back from postpartum depression after the birth of my daughter many years ago and recently I have sought life coaching from her. Empathetic, kind and intelligent – I feel “heard” and understood for the first time in years. Her metaphors, humor and guidance have lifted me from a place of old, toxic patterns. She is, without question, the most emotionally gifted and empathetic human I have been fortunate enough to have in my life.”
Best of both worlds!”Savannah is great! And so is her unique, custom tailored services in exploring new career avenues and exploring healing through her awesome body work. Highly recommended!!”
Savannah is my champion! “Savannah is supportive in such an intuitive, nurturing and non-invasive way. Her consistent ways of checking in and sharing insight helps me to feel grounded and supported in trying out new ways of integrating with the world around me. I feel heard and seen and understood. I am thankful for her way of holding me accountable to living my authentic life.”
Wise Intuitive Experience With Practical Solutions! “Working with Savannah has been a rich and wonderful experience. She immediately grasps what is important and hones in on it, even things I might have written off or not paid attention to. Her experience and resources helped me navigate a particularly challenging situation quickly and easily, saving me a lot of time and stress. My view of what is possible has expanded to include parts of myself and my life that I had forgotten about or given up on, and now I have a plan for how to get there.”
You should really call Savannah today…”Savannah is simply the best. She listens with compassion, humor and intelligence, and helps you come to your own conclusions. She has a real gift for cutting through the confusion and extraneous information. You leave a session with incredible clarity and energy for moving forward. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Consistently transformative sessions! ”I first saw Savannah 3 years ago for about 5 months. I was a new mom and unhappy with my career decisions. Seeing her really helped to calm and ground me, and also to trust my own intuition about my next steps. I came back to see her recently and have found the same consistently transformative feedback and guidance. Seeing Savannah, I believe in the power of coaching to help me live the way I want to live my life. Every time, I feel more centered and confident about where I am going.”
Since I could hold a pencil, I have always known that I was a writer. I filled up my Mead notebooks with stories about adventure, magic and self-discovery (including sketches but I am no visual artist). My little girl self knew about creativity and the power of story and she naturally expressed herself. When I got into [...]
When you are in a change or decision-making process, it's easy to get caught up in a state of urgency and feel driven to "figure it out NOW." Your nervous system goes on high alert and you might even lay awake at night worrying and planning. Your body tightens, your thinking narrows and your Research shows that [...]
Many clients come to life coaching hoping to break a painful, restrictive cycle in their lives. The context is varied, from relationships to career to personal habits, but the problem is often the same. They are stuck on a repeat cycle that says something like: "I always attract people into my life who are unavailable...I can't ever [...]
I read a very insightful article the other day about how self-awareness is the key to lasting change. If you are visiting my site today because you are longing for positive, sustainable change, please read the article! I want to add an important tool that is missing in the article and one of the most important in [...]
If you could dial up your eight-year-old self, what would she tell you is missing in your life right now? Who was that little kid and just where did she go? Carl Jung once said: "What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Therein lies the key to your earthly pursuits." [...]
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein Life coaching is about gaining expansive perspective to approach obstacles and confusion with a new way of thinking and feeling about yourself and your life. One of the best tools to expand your thinking is by mindfully tuning into [...]
Do you know what it feels like to be awake to your life? Present, curious, open, empowered, enlivened... Do you know that most of us spend part of our precious lives in a trance instead of being awake? We are thinking about the past or worrying too much about the future, feeling stuck or immobile, caught up [...]
When life coaching clients say they want more balance, I often encourage them to consider fluidity instead of balance. In our current complex culture, striving for balance often feels like achieving a perfect state that is impossible to maintain. But fluidity gives us the ability to dance with life, rather than stand strong against it. Elizabeth Gilbert [...]
I have a favorite exercise from the wise Martha Beck that I like to use with clients to help them gain more clarity around decision making. Martha calls it the "Shackles On, Shackles Off" exercise. Here is my personal adaption: 1. Bring a memory to mind of a person, experience or place that makes you feel relaxed [...]
Many of my clients have a life mission, work directly in careers or have roles where they care for and help other people. As counselors or doctors or teachers or parents, they often struggle with the feelings of burn-out that happen when so much time and energy goes to care giving. When I first started my practice, [...]
A new life coaching client came into my office the other day and said, "I really don't think this process is working. I felt even more discouraged this week. I'm pretty sure I am failing." We took some time to explore her feelings of discouragement and the loud voice inside her head that was declaring her a [...]
I’ve done a lot of scary things in my life, especially when I was younger and didn’t realize the risks I was taking. As we grow older, we take on a new relationship with risk. We begin to analyze more, make “better” choices, and think twice before doing things outside of our comfort zone. The funny thing [...]
Its that time of year...candy pink hearts, over-wrought greeting cards, chocolates that you poke in the center before eating and a gluttony of roses wherever you look. And the point of it all? LOVE. Well, despite the fact that roses are my least favorite flower, taking a day to focus on love is something I fully support. [...]
By Zohar Manor-Abel, shared via Flickr To begin 2014, I have a simple question for you: Who do you want to be this year? You, like me and everyone else I have met so far, have many different selves inside. It is almost like we have an inner choir of voices, often singing in different keys. You [...]
A couple of years ago, I completed a two-year intensive training in Hakomi Therapy with the META Institute. The most recent research in neurobiology shows that mindfulness-based therapy is very effective for long term sustainable change. My life and career coaching clients come to me for one primary reason: They are ready for Change! This recent article [...]
