Don't Wait!
The right time to take that next step is
I am ready to help.
NOW.
You want to have a better life, and yet there are so many things in the way.
Your concerns are real:
• the scope of your job affects your wellbeing
• the limited resources, both financial and human capital, limit you and your work
• the needs of the people, organizations, and communities that you serve continue to increase
• the time it takes to do really good work challenges your ability to take care of yourself & those you care about
• the need for balance, play, and enjoyment is becoming a higher priority
You've been trying lots of things that just don't seem to work.
• You read lots of books, yet experience information overload rather than inspiration
• You try to start new habits only to see them fizzle after a few days or weeks
• You want to make change on your own, but you are just too overwhelmed to even get started
• And you're busy working, juggling all those responsibilities, and find it hard to stop even for a minute
• Did I mention that you're tired and have no time for fun?
• You might actually be facing serious burnout if something doesn't change
How I can help.
• I help you stop and take a breath, focus on the present moment, and begin to uncover what you want
• I have years of experience listening to people--hearing what you say and what you don't say
• I am a conversation partner to help you focus, clarify your core values, imagine your future, & work for it
• I provide tools like storytelling, mindful practices, and other exercises that help you get there
• I believe that you can create the life you want
What clients say
"Lea is a coach whose main focus is creating a partnership based on integrity. She is able to combine her unique life experience with diverse professional knowledge and effective coaching tools. As a result, Lea is able to gently lead the session offering her clients a gem every time. Never did I leave the conversation without a valuable insight. Being coached by Lea, I know I will be heard and supported to the maximum."
Yulia B.
"I had coaching sessions with Lea and can confidently say that she is a very professional coach. Lea helped me to figure out what I really want and how to get there. I did my homework which we crafted for me together, and that moved me to the desired level of self-confidence. Also, Lea immediately made me feel comfortable sharing my deepest concerns and dreams. I will keep working with her and recommend you give it a try as well!"
Lily B.
"For the longest time, I thought I was not coachable and left sessions frustrated. I was ready to give up when I met Lea. For the first time, I felt listened to, invited to explore possibilities while feeling hopeful about them! The supportive and kindly judgment-free space she offers led me to experience emotions I didn’t know I could have!
I definitely recommend trying her services."

FAQ
WHAT SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY INITIAL CONSULTATION?
The free consultation doesn't need any preparation. However, many find it helpful to think about the types of topics, overarching goal/s they wish to achieve, or parts of their lives they wish to explore through coaching. If you are interested in creating a personal ritual or pilgrimage, please let me know that as well. Also, if you are unfamiliar with coaching, bring your questions so you can be clear on what to expect before you start.
HOW CAN I START WORKING WITH YOU?
Complete the form on the Contact webpage to set up the free consultation. You will receive information via email or text (your choice) on how to set up the consultation. Once we meet to discuss the scope of coaching for you, you will receive initial digital paperwork and a link to my calendar scheduler to set up your coaching sessions. Payment is due at the time of service.
ARE YOU LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING?
I am committed to being an LGBTQ+ ally and to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all my clients where everyone may be seen and heard for who they are, especially those who experience marginalization. Your wellbeing matters to me.
I NOTICE YOU HAVE A MASTER OF DIVINITY DEGREE. DO I NEED TO BE RELIGIOUS TO WORK WITH YOU?
While I have additional background in theology, spirituality, and mindfulness, I work with people from a wide variety of religions, traditions, and secular worldviews. Since coaching is client-focused, you decide if you want to bring a particular religious practice into the conversation.
I HAVE FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS. DO YOU OFFER REDUCED-FEE COACHING SESSIONS?
I recognize that coaching is often a financial privilege (some even consider it a luxury item...) so I work with clients on income-based fees in some instances. Payment plans are also available for larger packages. Please inquire directly about your particular situation.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH COACHING SESSIONS?
Coaching is client-centered and the questions posed by a coach are to help guide the client towards topics of their own choosing. Sometimes during a session what was the initial client aim will change. The client may always choose to explore the new area or return to the previous one, and in some cases have additional sessions around the new ideas that arise. Transformation can occur in a single session. Sometimes a client will find that they wish to have a number of sessions around the same topic. Coaches partner with clients during sessions to achieve desired outcomes for that conversation, a particular goal or a sense of clarity or understanding, or a larger overall plan.
A note about accountability: The focus on a particular outcome is at the control of the client. You will need to do the work during the session and beyond. You will need to use your resources to get the accountability you need to attain your goals. And...you will feel all the accomplishment when you do! Go for it!
