1:1 Coaching for Fed Up Feminists & Anti-Capitalists
Wayfinding Towards Their Your Dream.
Their Dream promised you all sorts of lovelies, but here you are—decidedly NOT fulfilled, NOT inspired, and NOT free. If you want those things, you’ll need to pursue YOUR dream instead of theirs and live in integrity with your soul. We do both in Wayfinder Coaching.

If You’re a Feminist Who’s Had it With Capitalist Gaslighting & Are Restless for Change…
There may 20 reasons why you're here, but most likely, you feel stuck in a life that no longer resonates. Maybe you're navigating a midlife or existential crisis. Or maybe you're searching for your ever-elusive purpose. But underlying everything is a deep disdain towards the exploitative and constant-crisis nature of our times—namely capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and, sadly, too many others to name.
You're not alone. These times—THIS ABSOLUTE FUCKERY—is a travesty to our nervous systems, our non-white sisters/brothers/kin, Mama Earth, and humanity. It’s taxing AF and seemingly never-ending. And we’ve been gaslit into thinking that we’re the fucking problem. I assure you that we’re not. Yet, we aren’t powerless. Wayfinding through an anti-capitalist+ lens is a powerful antidote to these batshit crazy times.
My philosophy
You Must Live in Integrity with Your Soul to Create a Truly Thriving Life.
As a Wayfinder Coach, my philosophy is simple: if you choose to live in integrity with who you truly are, your life will be completely transformed into something far more glorious than it is right now. And this is something I'm deeply passionate about.
I’m passionate about YOU living in integrity with who you truly are, beneath the conditioning that’s assaulted you since Day 1.
The conditioning to conform, to do what family, culture, and our oppressive systems expect. To pursue 'The Dream' at the expense of your own wellbeing and—quite possibly—your sanity. To never let your hair down (unless, of course, it’s a performative gesture). To play the game and always(!!) be a good consumer.
Why am I so passionate about YOU living in integrity with who you truly are? Because when you do, you’ll radiate deep freedom, peace, and sense of purpose…and this will inspire others. And my friend, it’s the ripple effects of YOUR transformation that are going to transform our world.
What You Can Expect
MY SPECIALTIES
As a Wayfinder Master Coach, I am trained (and have the lived experience) to help clients with anything they bring to coaching (yes, this includes business, career, and relationship issues, etc.). That being said, the following areas reflect themes that my ideal clients often contend with and that are deeply aligned with my expertise and lived experience.
01 | Life Transitions
Navigating a transition or crisis of any variety—a midlife crisis, existential crisis, job loss, divorce, identity shift, etc—is deeply liminal and disorienting—and even more so during these batshit crazy times. Clients who come to me while navigating crises and transitions are seeking refuge, relief, and reinvention. The are forging a new path, and they want guidance and support along the way.
02 | Boundaries
Most of us spend our lives fixated on how our actions will be received by others and then—to our detriment—do things that aren’t in integrity with who we truly are. We’re afraid of rocking the boat, of disappointing our families, of losing something (jobs, reputation, etc.) if we stand our ground. And yet, we must stop people-pleasing if we are to truly thrive.
03 | Opting out
If you’re reading this, my hunch is that you’d LOVE to ‘opt-out’ of capitalism and patriarchy…but you don’t know how because you’ve been ingrained (as we all have) that there is no viable alternative to these structures. While going fully rogue isn’t likely a viable option, there are alternatives to supporting oppressive systems and we can explore what this might uniquely look like for you.

Imagine Waking up Each Day Feeling Free, Inspired, & Wildly Alive
You begin your day with intention.
As you curl up with a mug of tea and your journal, you take a moment to honor yourself for prioritizing this sacred morning ritual—a ritual that leaves you feeling clear, calm, and open to whatever the day may bring. You navigate your day with purpose and intention, grounded and grateful, even amidst these existentially tumultuous times.
You end your day with tomorrow in mind.
As the day winds down, your evening ritual prepares you for a night of untroubled sleep, creating a nourishing cycle of rest and renewal. This is what becomes possible when you partner with your inner guide, live in alignment with your true nature, and cultivate supportive rituals that nourish your greater vision.
You create a life that nourishes and supports you.
You do this, despite these late-stage capitalist times and systems of oppression that so many of us face. Because let’s face it—feeling stressed and anxious about them isn’t doing anyone a damned bit of good. But prioritizing your physical and spiritual wellbeing DOES leave you more capable of showing up in ways that do. [So does liberating your anger and becoming a channel for FIERCE LOVE to flow through.]
This becomes possible when you Wayfind.

Your remaining 7 sessions will each last 1 hour.
You’ll have 2 Wayfinder Coaching Sessions each month for 4 months.

Here’s What’s possible.
I don’t guarantee results—they are entirely dependent on your commitment, where you’re at in the change cycle, your willingness to follow your inner GPS, etc.
What I do guarantee is to be, perhaps, more present with you than anyone ever has in your entire life. To help you gain clarity and to challenge you in ways so that you can move forward. To help you access your inner GPS and rely on it to make decisions that you don’t ever have to second-guess. To trust that YOU have all the answers within that you’ll ever need…and to help you access them.
I can guarantee that if you truly embrace Wayfinding, your life WILL change. But know that it’s not a one-off deal; my hope is that you’ll make it a way of life because that’s where the deepest transformation lies.
While I won’t guarantee RESULTS, click below to view a few real CHANGES that women I’ve coached (including myself) have experienced as the direct result of Wayfinding.
-
Bucket loads of confidence, despite a lifetime spent feeling deeply insecure.
Wild aliveness that comes from following the path you KNOW to be your soul’s calling for you.
Non-attachment to other’s anger or disappointment—especially those who have narcissistic tendencies and don’t respect your needs.
Inner freedom as the result of living in integrity with who you truly are in a capitalist, patriarchal, batshit crazy world that expects conformity.
Leaving a toxic job.
Deciding to start a family after years of indecision and therapy (as I type this, the gal’s latest IG post tells me that her baby ought to have popped out YESTERDAY!!).
Writing a book.

Wayfinding for Women Who've Had Enough
I’m a feminist and anti-capitalist who once—during a moment of weakness—paid a coach five figures in exchange for her coaching me to become so ‘magnetic’ that clients would flock to me and sign up for expensive coaching engagements. Unfortunately, her approach borrowed heavily from capitalism’s playbook and left me feeling so sickened and out of integrity that I quit her container early. A painful lesson learned.
I do things differently. The women I work with already reside at a higher level of consciousness and want their coaching Wayfinding to honor that. They aren’t here to 'win' at capitalism but to live life gloriously (however they define it!) on their own terms. To live in alignment with who they truly are. To stand in their power and reject the gaslit ‘American Dream.’ To take up radical space where it isn’t always welcomed. To liberate righteous anger while staying rooted in fierce love. To create. To remember. To be the change.
This is what Wayfinding looks like.

Before I enroll any prospective client, I require them to have had a coaching session with me so that they have experienced working with me first hand.
If you’ve already had a coaching experience with me, your inner GPS will know whether working with me at this point in time is aligned. [If you would like my help accessing it, we can schedule 20 minutes or so to do this.] But basically, what we’re looking for is whether enrolling at this point in time feels constrictive or expansive. A related consideration is whether you feel alive with the energy of possibility as a result of the coaching experience you had with me vs feeling uncertain or lethargic about the prospect of this stuff ‘actually working.’ In the end, it’s about listening to and honoring what your gut is telling you.
While I love the whole “If it’s not a ‘hell yes!’ it’s a no” mentality, I don’t always subscribe to it. For example, not many people have a budget for coaching, and the prospect of making this level of investment can be a bit nerve-wracking. I get it! In fact, I’ve been there nearly every time I’ve been in the client seat with my own coaches. Just sayin.
-
During our first session (the one after our initial session), we’re going to dive deep; we’re going get crystal clear on what you want to walk away from our coaching container with, and we’re going to make sure that it is in integrity with who you truly are. This might be something outwardly grand, like preparing to climb Mt. Everest. Or it may be something inwardly grand, like getting unstuck from the career rut you’ve been in for the past decade, living your life for YOU, etc.
Before our call you’ll complete an assignment and—depending on where you’re at—we may spend some time doing a visualization exercise. Whatever happens, it’s in service to us getting clear. You wouldn’t want to begin a road trip without some sense of where you want to go, and it’s the same with coaching.
-
Yes! Most of my coaching happens in a Zoom room, but old-school phone calls are my absolute fave. Seriously, unless you’re opposed to the latter, I encourage you to test-drive it at least once early on with me!
Note that I do occasionally coach local clients outdoors in the forest preserve near my home. This may be an option after our first session, should you be interested.

At the highest level, I help clients solve problems. Not by sharing my expertise—I’m neither a consultant nor a mentor (though there are times where I’ll don the mentor hat when permitted)—but by helping YOU access your own innate wisdom.
Part of what I do is to help you uncover your blind spots, which prevent you from seeing a path forward. I also share what I see holding you back, get a bit impassioned when it’s in service to you, and help you move through whatever muck you’re dealing with.
But basically, I’ll ask you questions that are designed to encourage insights. Sometimes we’ll play around with tools and visualizations and other fun things when appropriate.
And—most important—I’ll help you identify a path for moving forward. In the Wayfinder tradition, we do this via turtle steps.
-
Perhaps that the most significant difference between Wayfinder Coaching (aka Wayfinding) and other coaching approaches is that Wayfinding is focused on the client living in integrity with their true nature or—as my mentor Martha Beck calls it—their Essential Self. It’s an incredibly powerful approach to coaching!
So how do we know whether something is aligned? Well, our bodies are fantastic pieces of navigational equipment, and so we rely on them to guide us. Some clients can readily perceive physical shifts in sensations when something’s in/out of integrity for them, while others may rely on energetic tools like The Sway.
Beyond using the body as a compass, my approach is always in perpetual creative response to whatever is unfolding with my client. I don’t use frameworks, but I do have a hefty toolbox I’ll draw from when needed. For example, recognizing the thoughts and stories you replay in your mind that keep you playing small and challenging them through a process known as The Work. That’s just one of many tools I love to use! Metaphor, visualization, and a systems approach are a few others.
-
No! If you vibe enough with what you’ve encountered on my site to want to work with me, I encourage you to submit an inquiry. While the bulk of my clients use she/her pronouns, I’ve worked with some beautiful humans who’ve used he/him and they/them pronouns…and I’ve been repeatedly told that the space I hold for them is safe and allows them to be vulnerable with me.
-
Unless you have a strong preference for paying in full upfront—and maybe you do because you believe it will help hold you accountable to yourself—you will make monthly payments. I don’t offer any incentives for paying in full, as they penalize those who do not have wads of cash lying around.
You will make your first payment upon accepting my invitation to enter into a coach-client relationship, and I will ask you to set up monthly autopayment for the duration of our agreement.
