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.”
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.”
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.”
Hello, dear friends, and happy September to you! Does this time of year find you in the throes of back-to-school? Are you freshly back from travels? Or perhaps the shift out of summer simply means a continuation of your work, whatever work that may be? No matter what your situation, I hope you find yourself in a [...]
Well, dear friends, here we are at the beginning of August 2024, and it’s not new news to anyone that our political future is in a state of deep uncertainty. I mean, really, we’re steeped in this reality, and it’s awfully hard to get away from it. In that sense I apologize for bringing it up here, [...]
Happy July, everyone! It’s officially time for summer fruits, hot weather, and possibly some summer getaways. And for many recent graduates, it’s also time to think about getting jobs. Be they career jobs, summer jobs, or exploratory jobs, I know several people who are turning their attention toward this topic. Two of these people are my nephews, [...]
I was sitting in the middle school library at my son’s school earlier this week for a very informative meeting, and I became completely distracted by something I saw posted on the wall. It was clearly applicable to the lives of the students, but as a coach, I was really tickled to see how applicable it is [...]
This is a guest post from Linda Chase who is joining me at Nurture Life Coaching to offer resume writing and consultations and interview preparation! I'm excited to send clients to her once they have identified what they want in their career transition. She can help close the deal! You can find out more about her here. [...]
Most life and career coaching clients come to me because they want to solve a problem. They are willing to pay for expert support because they have tried everything on their own: read all the books, talked to friends and family, analyzed and over analyzed, consulted psychics/astrologers, prayed a lot, taken online tests...you get the picture. Maybe [...]
As a life coach for women, the month of January always brings the conversation of New Years Intentions. I prefer the word intention to resolution for a few reasons: Intentions are more flexible and adaptable. Resolutions carry the pressure of performance and obligation. And, our culture is just too fixated on the usual suspects when it comes [...]
This week I received an email from a discouraged career coaching client who didn't get the job. From her words, I could feel all the self-criticism and hopelessness that she was feeling. I am sharing with you my email pep talk because it applies to you (and me) too when things don't go the way we had planned. "YOU [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Since the recession, I have had more career coaching clients come into my practice even though I have always thought of myself as a life coach. It seems that the economy crashing encouraged people, even ones who still had fairly secure jobs, to question how they were investing so many of the precious moments of their lives. [...]
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 [...]
I am proud to announce that I have a new office space in the thriving Montavilla Business District in Portland, Oregon. It was a very quick move as Jyoti Family Wellness Center (my previous location) was asked to leave with only a couple of months notice so the landlord can remodel. It was hard to leave my [...]
