I guide women through the moments when the life they’ve been living no longer feels like it fits — when something essential is shifting, and there are not yet clear words for what comes next.

These are not problems to solve.

These are thresholds.

I work with women in midlife who find themselves in the midst of identity shifts, endings, and quiet or profound unraveling. I help them make sense of what is unfolding, release what no longer fits, and move forward with clarity and self-trust.

They are already on a path of inner awareness — and have reached a point where their usual ways of navigating life no longer work.

This is not surface-level work.

It is a space for real change.

This work asks for honesty — and offers the same in return.

I meet you where you are and help you find language for what you may already feel, but have not yet been able to name.

For nearly two decades, I have worked with sensitive, intuitive, and creative women through private sessions, retreats, and writing circles, holding spaces where what is true can emerge, be recognized, and be lived.

My approach is shaped by years of training in depth coaching, biographical facilitation, and shamanic, somatic, and energy-based practices, as well as my own lived experience of loss, healing, and becoming.

More than any modality, what I offer is a way of being with you.

At times, this work is like a lighthouse, illuminating what has not yet been seen.

At other times, it is a bridge, supporting you as you move from one way of being into another.

And at its heart, it is a steady presence as you find your way.

I am the creator of Homecoming Sanctuary, a 9-month space for women in transition, and the author of the forthcoming Field Guide to Me, a companion for navigating the landscapes of becoming.

I am deeply grateful to the many teachers, mentors, and traditions that have shaped my path.

Work With Me

There are times in life when something is shifting, but not yet fully formed.

When the life you’ve been living no longer feels like it fits, and you find yourself between what has been and what is not yet clear.

These are the moments I work within.

Below are the ways we can work together, depending on where you are and the support you are seeking.

* Homecoming Sanctuary

A 9-month private 1:1 journey

This is a space for women in the midst of a deeper life transition — where something essential is changing, and you are ready to meet it with honesty, attention, and support.

We work together over time, allowing what is unfolding to be seen, understood, and integrated.

This is steady, relational work.
Not rushed. Not formulaic.

A space for real change.

This is the kind of work that becomes possible when you are ready to stay with what is unfolding — not just understand it, but live through it with support.

I work with a small number of women at a time, and spaces are limited.

* Seasonal Retreats

Intimate, in-person or virtual spaces for stepping away from the pace of daily life and listening more deeply.

These gatherings often meet you at the edge of a season of change — offering a place to pause, listen, and reconnect with yourself before what comes next. Learn more here.

* Writing Circles

Monthly circles for women drawn to writing as a way of listening inward and making meaning of their lives and stories.

These are gentle but honest spaces where writing becomes a way of listening inward and bringing what you find into form — where your voice, your stories, and your perspective are supported and taken seriously.

An Invitation

If you feel a resonance with this work, you’re welcome to reach out.

We can begin with a conversation — a chance to explore where you are, what is unfolding, and whether one of these spaces is the right fit.
