I journey alongside people through the sometimes disorienting experience of being human, by normalizing conversations around mortality and providing psychological, emotional and spiritual support to facilitate healing, and restore a greater sense of ease, calm and perspective.

    • This is not a method of problem-solving.

    • It is an open-ended introspective exploration.

    • The goal isn’t to make life problem-free.

    • We’re learning how to come home to ourselves in a spirit of friendship, creativity, and belonging.

    My coaching style is oriented toward deep listening and an open-ended exploration of what comes up in the moment, following that thread as it is woven into the narrative of my clients. This is a non-judgemental, organic, respectful process of learning that builds trust little by little in one’s self, and one’s capacity for change.

  • Mortality for Mortals is a course focusing on the connection between death literacy and life literacy, in a society that seems to understand death as the opposite of life, rather than an inextricably intimate, potentially beautiful, yet challenging part of it.

    Here we will consider the various ways in which we hold mortality, both personally and culturally, and we will reflect on the ways in which a rich, robust acknowledgement of mortal concerns, may bode well for a richer, more robust experience of ordinary life giving it greater depth, meaning and value.
