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.”
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!!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Happy Winter Solstice! As this has been a dark couple of weeks for our country, I invite us to chose the light of love, clarity and peace. Every kind word you speak or action you take, every time you let go of judging yourself and others and each moment you [...]
Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure and honor of supporting Linda Chase in her One Week Job Project, Never Too Late! This dedicated lady is not letting financial stress, single-parenthood, or job-market ageism hold her back from realizing her potential and going on an adventure that would daunt many a brave soul. [...]
There is a simple yet profound attitude shift that can make all the difference in how you feel about yourself as you focus on achieving your goals. As a recovering perfectionist (is there a 12 step group for us?), I have experienced great relief in shifting my mindset from "be good" to "get better." Photo by [...]
Sudden anger, lingering frustration, resentment that sends you muttering under your breath, the deep ache of longing, bouts of sadness, that familiar trapped feeling of stuckness: all of these are signals from your spirit, like a fever calling you back to well-being. Over the 9 years that I have held sacred space with my clients, I have [...]
Take a moment right now and ask yourself this question: "What kind of thoughts have I had today?" Have your thoughts been sprinkled with gratitude, enlivened with possibilities and creative in solving problems? Or, did you get mired in worry, self-doubt and negativity today? If you notice that you have been focusing more on the 1/2 empty [...]
One theme I hear regularly in coaching sessions with women is "I just don't feel like I am (fill in the blank) enough..." I sit across from women who are bright, talented, and loving but they can't quite see themselves. Sure, they are human and have messy edges (like we all do) but they regularly define their [...]
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 [...]

I know that you will be inspired by the idea of making self-care more simple and reasonable in your life! Also, I have a new coaching column in Portland Woman Magazine! "Get a life [...]
Many of my clients suffer from what I call the “perfection trap.” This sneaky pit is easy to fall into when you are trying too hard to do everything just right. When you over-worry about failure or looking bad, you back yourself right into the devious clutches of “it’s never good enough” – and never done. What [...]
“I know that will never happen for me,” my client said dejectedly as she described her dream job. “He never listens…I doubt that will ever change,” huffed another client about her husband of 10 years. My good friend Rev. Susan Leo once said “certainty is the opposite of faith.” I think she meant that when we think [...]
One of the (many) reasons that life coaching works is the focus on what is already going well. When clients are ready to make important changes in their lives, I often turn their attention to what is already working for them. In other words, gratitude. It can be easy to focus on problems. The big brick wall [...]
Last week I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Single and Unplugged, an internet radio show dedicated to supporting and inspiring single parents. My topic was self nurture: how to tend to yourself when time and money are often limited. It was a great show and I think the information and insights are relevant to any [...]
If I accept the job as a teacher, then I will be giving up on my dream as a writer. When I take time for myself, I am taking away from my family. if I get married, I won't be able to make my own decisions anymore. I have heard each of these statements from clients in [...]
