Coaching

If you’ve ever planted a seed in the soil and watched it emerge toward the sunlight, then you have witnessed the innate tendency of living things to grow. It does not need instruction, or advice, or training. It knows what it is doing. It knows who it is destined to become. The oak becomes an oak – it does not dress itself up as a cedar tree, or lament losing it’s leaves in the fall, or wish it could bear coconuts instead.

Us humans, we’re a bit different. We possess the same innate desire to grow. We also possess the same inborn intuition of knowing who we are (and who we are destined to become). But we have habits of forgetting who we are, or trying to become someone we are not.

Coaching is a way to find your path back to your own inner wisdom. To learn to trust yourself again. To rediscover who you are. To grow into yourself. Together we can uncover the obstacles that are blocking your light, and remove the weeds that are competing for your resources. We can explore how you can create your own optimal conditions for growth, and find the nourishment you need to thrive. We can coax your roots to grow deeper, so that your branches can reach higher.

I’m a huge believer that nature can teach us everything we need to know about life. What lessons do you want to learn? Get curious. Coaching can support you to find your answers.

“The coaching sessions feel like a safe container where all is welcome. I feel comfortable exploring all aspects of where I’ve come from, where I currently am, and where I want to go.

Coaching with Jen helped me better define my values & my truest form of self. I was able to realize my inner resilience and reconnect with my inner sense of strength & gritty tenacity.”
