Coaching Strategy Discovery Session
Lead and live with clarity, without the constant worry, overthinking, and self-doubt.
Designed for experienced women leaders (and anyone ready to go deeper than surface-level fixes), this 45-minute session introduces a grounded, embodied approach to living and leading — shaped by 20+ years of coaching experience, somatic practice, and Enneagram insights.
Walk away with a clear map of what's getting in the way, and practical next steps, tools, and strategies to begin a new chapter.
If you've been feeling stretched, stuck, stressed or restless, it may be a sign that your current way of leading (and living) is being outgrown — and it's time for an upgrade that actually fits you.
My Unique Coaching Approach
This is how my work is different.
With over two decades of experience supporting POC and Black leaders and teams, my coaching goes beyond surface-level mindset work. I keep in mind your personal context, history, and systemic challenges, as well as your personality style patterns, so that the change you create is practical, sustainable, and aligned with your authentic self.
My work integrates:
Coaching + deep listening
You'll get space to think clearly, be heard without judgment, and identify what matters most right now. From there, we translate insight into usable strategies and life skills, because self-awareness is only powerful when it changes how you relate, lead, and make decisions.
Somatic coaching
Your body holds both your history and your wisdom. Somatic coaching helps you notice stress patterns, build nervous-system capacity, and access grounded choice, so you're not leading, or living, from survival mode. As a trained trauma coach, I support you to work safely and respectfully with what your body is communicating.
Enneagram personality style-based insights
The Enneagram describes nine core personality patterns, each with different motivations, strengths, and blind spots. When you can name your limiting patterns, you can interrupt it. These insights make unconscious habits visible, so you can respond with intention (instead of defaulting to old coping strategies).
Results you can expect
The people I work with don't just gain insight.
They build the capacity to lead (and live) differently:
- FromStrife and conflictToMore harmonious relationships
- FromA scarcity mindsetToA healthier relationship with money and wealth
- FromBurnout and overextensionToClear, grounded decision-making
- FromSecond-guessingToQuiet, confident authority
- FromReactive leadershipToIntentional, high-impact presence
- FromDisconnectionToMeaningful relationships and authentic, aligned leadership

Patches: Coaching Stories of Overcoming and Possibility
In Patches, I share real stories, my own and those of women leaders I've worked with, about navigating burnout, identity shifts, trauma, and meaningful change. It reflects what I've seen over two decades: lasting transformation doesn't come from quick fixes, but from honest reflection, embodied awareness, and courageous inner work.
Growth isn't linear; it happens in fragments, in pauses, and in the willingness to face what's true and choose yourself again and again.
This is the same depth of work we begin in the discovery session.
