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.”
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.”
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.”
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!!”
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.”
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 [...]
In life and career coaching, we have an important tool that I will simply call Consciousness. The more aware and clear we are about the perceptions, patterns, personal choices, values and belief systems that are impacting a client's life, the more we can create lasting change. I graduated from one of the top coaching schools, IPEC, over [...]
This deep, dark time of year, especially in Portland Oregon, many of my life coaching clients are saying things like: I feel more tired; why can't I get it all done; I just want to curl up on my couch; I don't really want to go to that work event... At the same time, I watch my [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Many clients come to life coaching hoping to break a painful, restrictive cycle in their lives. The context is varied, from relationships to career to personal habits, but the problem is often the same. They are stuck on a repeat cycle that says something like: "I always attract people into my life who are unavailable...I can't ever [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
One thing I have learned from working intimately with humans over the past 10 plus years is that we are always changing and growing. It can be an uncomfortable, confusing process (which is why I have a job) and it can be incredibly liberating as well, especially if we do everything we can to embrace, rather than [...]
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 [...]
Most of the clients that come my way for life coaching are longing for more clarity. They have a nagging sense that something is missing but aren't sure what it is. Or, they feel certain about what they want, but don't know how to manifest it. Sometimes, they just feel an overall sense of confusion about their [...]
