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!!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
I was very inspired by the "Happy Secret to Better Work" TED Talk by psychologist Shawn Achor! In his funny and energetic talk he points to the research done by the positive psychology movement that shows that only 10% of happiness is predictive based on actual reality and events. The other 90% is related to how your [...]
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 [...]
For the past several months, I have had the honor of being a teaching assistant for META's Interpersonal Skills Training. I have learned so much from this profoundly healing personal growth series. This past weekend, we did an exercise that I would love to share with you. I have modified it to better fit with my own [...]
I am delighted to be participating in the 2012 Portland Mama Makeover! This will be my third year as the Life Coach for the winning mama and it has been an enriching and inspiring experience. I can't wait to meet the winner! The deadline for entry is March 16th so please encourage any Portland-area mama that you [...]
I had a life coaching appointment with a client last week that felt more like a celebration than a session! Over the past year, she has been gearing up to take a huge leap and leave a job that is both stable and confining. We spent many sessions focusing on her inner clarity about what [...]
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 [...]
To begin 2012, I have a simple question for you: Who do you want to be this year? You, like everyone else I have met through my life coaching practice, have many different selves inside. You might have a worried self that tends to agonize about money and a jaded self that feels skeptical about [...]
I was so inspired by the project that Julien Leitner, 13 years old, began in an effort to have a positive impact on the world. This dedicated and precocious teenager has a goal to raise 2 million dollars in small 2 dollar donations for charities that help other children around the world. His foundation, The Archimedes Alliance, [...]
I love the gratitude banter that goes on during Thanksgiving week. I think every year having a week or so when we highlight appreciation is an important ritual, especially in a culture that is so driven by consumerism. Over the years of working with my life coaching clients, I have realized something very simple, yet profound: giving [...]
One of my clients sent me a link to this TED talk by Kristen Wheeler, "Evolution of a Job Hater." What I loved most about this talk is the question: "What is the seed of your native genius?" In other words: "When you are most yourself, who are you being and what are you doing?" In an [...]
People often come to life coaching wanting to change the circumstances of their lives: they want a more fulfilling job, better communication in their relationships, improved health, ect... In a nutshell: they want to be happier! In our work together, they soon discover that happiness is not about what happens and that it can even [...]
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 [...]
“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 [...]
