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.”

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.”

  • Life lessons from skiing!

    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 [...]

  • Jump out of your box and play with me!

    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" [...]

  • Clarifying Needs, Desires and “Shoulds”

    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 [...]

  • Take the “F” word out of change!

    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 [...]

  • Go ahead, change the world!

    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, [...]

  • What is calling your name?

    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 [...]

  • Connect to your body

    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 [...]

  • Tongue-tied? Verbally frustrated? Try empathy!

    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 [...]

  • “Looking past limits”

    I discovered an inspiring TED Talk this week that I urge you to watch! Caroline Casey was born with a limitation (no spoilers) that she never let get the best of her. Her talk is focused on the power of perception and true self acceptance. In her words: "When you really believe in yourself, it is extraordinary [...]

  • Making friends with your body

    Imagine you had to be with someone 24 hours per day and share everything from sleep to relationships to your deepest emotional experiences. Would you be wiser to make this individual your ally or your enemy? Would acceptance and trust be more helpful than resistance and resentment? What if the way you treated her impacted every area [...]

  • Questioning the “law of attraction”

    I have a bone to pick with the New Age philosophy the "law of attraction." While movies like "The Secret" can be cheesily inspiring and even teach people the importance of being aware of their thoughts, I am regularly irritated by the gimmicky feel of "law of attraction" thinking. Being intentional because it will get you what [...]

  • Whole-heartedness

    I urge you to watch Dr. Brené Brown's 20 minute TED Talk on Whole-heartedness. I promise it is the best investment you can make with your time! Here are a few thoughts from Brene: Connection is the universal desire of all human beings. Shame is the fear of disconnection Courage is telling your story with your whole [...]

    I was honored to be interviewed by Exceptional Women Northwest last week! This radio program shares the stories of women in the Northwest that are making a positive impact on their communities. You can listen to the 30 minute interview, where I discuss my Texas background, Mexican food, creative writing and my coaching work!

  • Know when you are off-kilter

    I often hear people talk about the struggle to "find balance" in their full lives. Juggling busy work and family lives, trying to make time for creative ventures and self-care, keeping up with social expectations and financial obligations...can be exhausting! I hesitate to even use the word balance because it can carry the heavy expectation of perfection [...]

  • Blog talk radio!

    I am going to be interviewed tomorrow, Tuesday the 25th on Blog Talk Radio at 11:00 am. I will share tips for staying centered and focused during the madness of the holiday season. The show is geared towards Mamapreneurs (mamas in business) but will be insightful for anyone!

Feeling grateful in Portland Oregon!
