I work with people who are capable, responsible, and often doing well from the outside, but who have reached a point where something no longer fits the way it used to.

This can look like burnout, a life transition, more responsibility than you know what to do with, or a quieter sense that how you have been living or working is not sustainable anymore. Most of the people I work with are sitting with questions that do not have simple answers, and want real space to think clearly about what comes next.

Coaching is a space to slow down and think more clearly about what is happening in your life or work.

It is not advice, and it is not a set of answers. I work as a thinking partner, helping you stay with what is actually going on long enough to understand it more fully. From there, decisions often become less tangled and the next step easier to recognize.

A first conversation is usually the best place to begin.

You do not need to arrive with a fully formed goal or a polished explanation of what is going on. Most people simply know that something feels off, heavier than it used to, or harder to sort through alone. We use that conversation to look at what you are navigating and whether one-on-one coaching, facilitation, peer groups, the Energy Leadership Index, or another form of support might be the best fit.

Each session is a focused conversation shaped around what feels most present or pressing.

We usually begin with what is asking for attention, then look more closely at what may be underneath it, what patterns are showing up, and what may need to shift. The work is structured, but not rigid. Over time, people often find they are thinking more clearly, responding differently, and making decisions with more steadiness.

That is often exactly the work.

Sometimes what looks like burnout is really a sign that something has stopped fitting, whether in your work, your responsibilities, or the life you built without quite meaning to. This does not have to turn into a dramatic search for purpose. It usually starts smaller. What feels off right now? What matters more than it used to? What are you still carrying that was never really yours? Making room for those questions can change how you move forward.

Peer groups are facilitated, structured conversations built around shared experience and perspective. Group coaching includes more direct guidance from me as the coach, along with reflection and discussion.

In peer groups, the value comes less from coaching or teaching and more from the quality of the conversation, the structure that holds it, and the perspective that emerges when people reflect together. Both can be valuable. They simply offer different ways of working.

Lifequake peer groups are small, facilitated groups for people moving through a real shift, at work or in life, who do not want to carry it entirely on their own.

You do not need to have it figured out before joining. You need to be willing to bring what is actually true. The group meets over time, not once, because real perspective takes repetition to build.

The Energy Leadership® Index assessment, or ELI, is an assessment that makes visible the patterns shaping how you think, respond, and relate to others, especially under pressure.

For most people, it gives language to something they have already sensed but could not quite name. It can show where energy is being drained, where a reaction has become automatic, and where a different choice might actually be available. It works well as a standalone tool or as part of ongoing coaching, and it is available as an individual debrief or a 360, for leaders who want the added perspective of people around them.

That depends on what you need right now, and it is usually clearer after one conversation than before it.

Some people want a private space to think something through on their own. Others want to hear how a small group of people are making sense of something similar. Some want a concrete starting point, which is where the ELI tends to be most useful. There is no wrong door. There is just the one that fits what you are actually carrying.

The clearest test of how someone leads is not when things are calm. It is when something serious, a diagnosis in your family or a caregiving role you did not choose, asks more of you than you have ever had to give.

That is usually where people either default to old patterns or find something steadier in themselves that they did not know was there. My work is to help you find the second one. It does not replace your medical team. It is a place to stay connected to your own judgment and your own steadiness while you carry something real.

II do not see coaching as a way to fix people or rush them toward an answer.

Most people already sense what is not working. What is missing is the space to stay with it long enough to actually understand it, especially during burnout, a transition, or real uncertainty, when it is easy to move too fast or stay stuck in a pattern that no longer fits. My role is to help you slow that down and make sense of what is changing. I draw on Core Energy™ Coaching and the Energy Leadership™ Index as tools inside that process, but the work itself is about learning to respond to your life in a way that feels steadier and more intentional.

Yes. I am an ICF certified coach and a Certified Professional Coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, a COR.E Leadership Dynamics Specialist, a COR.E Transitions Dynamics Specialist, and a certified Cancer Journey Institute coach.

I am also certified in facilitation through IFO, which shapes how I design and hold peer group spaces. My background includes years in corporate and scientific settings, which shows up in how I think and how I work. Still, the credentials matter less than whether the work feels grounded and useful for what you actually need.

Confidentiality is a core part of the work.

In one-on-one coaching, everything is held in confidence and guided by professional ethics. In peer groups, confidentiality is a shared agreement across the whole group. What gets said in the room stays in the room.

No. Coaching is not a formula, and people come with very different needs, circumstances, and questions.

What I can offer is a thoughtful, structured space to slow things down, look more honestly at what is happening, and work in a way that is grounded in your reality. From there, the aim is not a promised outcome, but a more useful way of moving forward.
