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.”
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.”
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!!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Have you heard the story of the two monks and the heavy load? It is Zen tale passed down for centuries in Buddhist teachings. One day two traveling monks reached a town and saw a young woman waiting to step out of her sedan chair. There were deep, muddy puddles and she couldn’t step across without getting [...]
Do you ever find yourself fooled into believing that answers should come to you right away? In this convenience and consumer oriented culture with the world right at our fingertips, we are easily tricked into believing life works like this: You want something. You find it. You get it. But, through my life and career coaching practice [...]
One of the things that I love best about life coaching is the way the inquiry process shines the light of awareness into our habits, shadowed feelings and needs and distorted ways of thinking. I came across this very helpful list of the different ways our brains distort our reality. Here is my own interpretation of each [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Ted Sarvata of The Purpose Podcast. We explored purpose as a state of "being" and how to discover your own purpose. I propose that each person has an innate purpose: being the most authentic, talented, loving version of yourself! I hope you take a [...]
During the first week of Kindergarten last year, my youngest son reported back to me like an explorer returning from unknown territories: "Mama, did you know at school you can't listen to your body?" I took a deep breath, trying to manage the anxiety I had about sending my spirited, constant-motion boy into public school. "Really," I [...]
In my experience with my coaching clients, myself and other humans, I have discovered that the misalignment between WORD (what I say I want) and ACTION (what I do about it) comes from one of the following issues: I don’t really want what I SAY I want. Instead, I am operating on an assumption about what I [...]
One of the top reasons I love being a life coach for women is that part of my job is to be true to myself. I can't hold space for my clients to listen to their own inner truth and follow the clarity of their hearts if I myself don't do the same! That would just be [...]
I have been thinking a lot this week about the dualities that we experience in our human lives. New clients often come to coaching with a confusion about how to be both intentional and accepting at the same time. They have a desire to be in action and to achieve their goals but they also want to [...]
It has been my privilege over the last six years to partner with remarkable women (and sometimes men and couples) in realizing more joy and fulfillment in their lives! The life coaching process inspires you to be more present to your inner truth and create deep and lasting change that supports your growth. Every so often, I [...]
In my life coaching work with women, I am regularly faced with the honor and challenge of helping clients mitigate the negative impacts of perfectionism. One of my primary tools for working with clients who are highly self-critical is self-compassion. An article this week on MSNBC describes recent research showing self-compassion to be much more [...]
Happy New Year! 2010 not only ushers in a new year, it is also the beginning of a new decade. 2009 was a rough year for many people and several clients and friends shared with me their relief that it is over. From economic hardship to illness and relationship challenges, some folks were put through the wringer. [...]
