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.”
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.”
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!!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Hello, and happy spring to all! As I write, I’m looking out my window on a sunny day. There’s a light breeze, the daffodils are nodding proudly, and the leaf buds on the trees are bright, bright green. Everything is emerging, presenting itself, and bursting open. I’m uplifted by this beauty, for sure, and I’m also struck [...]
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.

Nature can remind us that idleness is restoring and that slowing down to watch the rhythms of the natural world can be medicine for our stressed and maxed-out nervous systems. If you are seeking clarity, go spend time outdoors, even in your yard or neighborhood park. Turn off your phone. Turn up your awareness. You will start [...]
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein Life coaching is about gaining expansive perspective to approach obstacles and confusion with a new way of thinking and feeling about yourself and your life. One of the best tools to expand your thinking is by mindfully tuning into [...]
Many of my clients have a life mission, work directly in careers or have roles where they care for and help other people. As counselors or doctors or teachers or parents, they often struggle with the feelings of burn-out that happen when so much time and energy goes to care giving. When I first started my practice, [...]
A new life coaching client came into my office the other day and said, "I really don't think this process is working. I felt even more discouraged this week. I'm pretty sure I am failing." We took some time to explore her feelings of discouragement and the loud voice inside her head that was declaring her a [...]
Its that time of year...candy pink hearts, over-wrought greeting cards, chocolates that you poke in the center before eating and a gluttony of roses wherever you look. And the point of it all? LOVE. Well, despite the fact that roses are my least favorite flower, taking a day to focus on love is something I fully support. [...]
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 [...]
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" [...]
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 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 [...]
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, [...]
Today in Vinyasa yoga class, the instructor told a story that I thought you might appreciate. There are many versions of the story of how the Hindu God Rama rescues the Goddess Ahalya from her cursed life inside a rock. The version I heard today is as follows: Photo by Martin Burns, shared via Flickr Rama is [...]
The other day I watched this tough and touching TED Talk by Eve Ensler, the creator of the "Vagina Monologues". She tells her story of living disconnected from her body, until traumatic events shocked her into realizing her own physicality. Please take a few minutes to watch it! When I posted a link to the [...]
Do you ever wonder why it is so difficult to communicate when you are upset? In the moments when you would most like to clearly speak about your feelings and thoughts, do you find yourself stuttering, confused, and verbally frustrated? The source of your problem may be in the structure of your brain! Neuroscientist Paul [...]
