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.”
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.”
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.”
A couple of weeks ago I had a serious bout of seasonal allergies. Living in beautifully blooming Portland, Oregon, I can just step out my front door and see the tender pinks of the wistful Cherry trees, the reds and purples of the sturdy rhododendron bushes, and the bright whites of the Dogwoods. While not being as [...]
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 [...]
Sometimes clients are surprised by how much we laugh during coaching sessions! I have discovered that a playful and curious attitude toward even the trickiest problems helps to engage the creative and intuitive parts of the brain. Albert Einstein once said, "Play is the highest form of research." My clients are smart, conscious individuals who would "logic" [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
While inner clarity is the primary focus of my life coaching work with women, intentional action is usually the next step. Once you have inner knowing, it becomes important for your outer world to match your inner truth. Anything less begins to feel like a self-betrayal. But taking action can be difficult. You might be frozen by [...]

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 [...]
