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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”

Last month as the school year was winding down, my nine-year-old son made a clear and urgent request: "Not too much summer camp." He was compelling in his argument for more time to just relax, play in the neighborhood, have no plans. "Going to camp is like going to school...they make you do things on a plan...you [...]
This week is a good time to remember the scientifically proven benefits of gratitude! One of the reasons clients come to life coaching is their desire to focus on what is already working well, to build on their resources and strengths and to shift into a more creative mindset.

A recent article about the wise and beloved (to me) Brené Brown referred to her most helpful "life hack" for relationships: "If I could give men and women in relationship and leaders and parents one hack, I would give them, ‘the story I’m making up,'" Brown told Tech Insider. "Basically, you're telling the other person your reading [...]
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 [...]
This week in a life coaching client consultation, I was asked if I believe in affirmations and positivity. I heard myself say, "I believe in truth." It seems that affirmations and positivity should be the backbone of coaching work and was certainly part of my initial training. But it never felt deep enough. It never felt right. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
One Fall morning a few years back, when my younger son was only 3, he rolled down his window as we drove over the Banfield overpass and shouted at the still mostly dry cap of Mt. Hood: "Hey ski mountain, better get some snow, cause I wanna ski on ya!" We are, as you probably guessed, 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 [...]
