 As a Spiritual Teacher as well as Executive Coach, I help guide your inner development along with outer skills. I’ll help you bring the qualities of Zen Mind to the passages, transitions and growth phases that are most pressing for you at this time.

I will develop a personalized program for you that will help you align your body-heart-mind energies with your professional work-in-the-world and your closest relationships. You will turn feelings of chaos, uncertainty, stress and disconnection into allies, and transform persistent conditions of anxiety, overwhelm, distraction, reactivity and burnout into clarity.

Who I Am

I am a transmitted Zen teacher and Executive + Life Coach working at the intersection of professional, personal and spiritual development. I create programs for those who are navigating life changes, helping them experience transformative insights and develop inner resources for growth and manifestation, using tools and awareness practices drawn from the Zen tradition.

Who I Serve 

Individuals in personal or professional transition, seeking their authentic and sustainable path in work, relationships, and/or self-development.

The Problem/Struggle I Solve

Questions, issues and obstacles moving forward with professional and personal growth and transition, in a way that is deeply authentic and resourcefully abundant: financially, emotionally, physically, mentally & spiritually.

How I Help You

I give you the breakthrough insights and transformative practices to support you in thriving. I support you in developing the skills and habits to show up fully. I help you discover/define the next stage of your path in work and life, and identify the limiting beliefs and stuck energy that are common to growth phases. I help you catalyze the changes that allow the next season of your life to manifest.

I invite you to sign up for a free Discovery session with me to explore the ways I can help you align, empower and thrive.


My deepest purpose is to help you discover, align with and manifest the whole-hearted, meaningful work that calls to you and you alone.

Is It For You?

I work with those who seek expanded capacity in facing everyday professional and life challenges, and who have an experience of or interest in deepening the quality of their inner life.

In working with me, you will learn to Source your daily life from the same place of Being that inspires your Purpose. You will have a deep understanding of how you can actually transform your anxiety, stress, and overwhelm into your most powerful allies, bringing you to a whole new level professionally and personally. You will gain access to your deepest wellsprings of clarity, purpose, and joy. 

Following are some of the areas I have helped my clients master in my 3-month program:

  1. Establish and maintain work-life balance that honors whole life integrity: self, family, work, community, nature. 

  2. Gain greater clarity on new entrepreneurial directions for professional life. 

  3. Feeling more grounded and at peace about work, play, spouse, the future.

  4. Develop and execute “inner best practices” including focus, deep listening, boundary-setting, discipline, delegation, managing uncertainty.  

  5. Establish better habits: a “posture of behavior” with respect to maladaptive “addictions” (social media, email use).

  6. Develop better empathic communication skills with colleagues/internal teams.

  7. Develop market-facing presence as “face” of the company or personal brand.

  8. Communicate with integrity and “hold my seat” with investors and Board.

  9. Gain greater clarity on key business and personal decisions related to location and scaling. 

  10. Shift unhealthy patterns of impulsivity, jumping to safety, self-sabotage (inner critic). 

  11. Support for overwhelm, distraction, stress, anxiety, and worry.

  12. Develop ability to engage without obsessive attachment to outcome. 

Questions and issues you may want help with include:

  • Lack of focus, clarity, inspiration or energy.

  • Excessive busy-ness, reactivity or lack of resilience.

  • An unhealthy relationship with time, especially around your work.

  • A conflicted relationship with money, especially around your work.

  • A persistent sense of disharmony or discord in your mind, heart, or gut.

  • Specific challenges of leadership and decision-making.

  • Challenges in the “ecosystems” of your work-in-the-world (personal, local, global)

  • A feeling of “not living up to an unnamed potential”.

  • Conflict or discord between “job” and work; or questions around purpose.

  • Questions around your internal contracts, with Self, Other, and Work; balancing, prioritizing, and uncovering conflicts.

 

The Five Gateways

The top five challenges that show up within professional and personal transition:

  1. Clarifying your vision.

  2. Articulating your vision.

  3. Creating relationships and finding allies & partners.

  4. Developing resource flows and abundance.

  5. Growing and scaling.

Each one of us has within ourselves the wisdom to progress through these developmental gateways, but often we need a guide to point out the blockages. I give you the awareness tools of Zen Mind to dissolve obstacles and allow your inner path to reveal itself.
