In July of 2023 I completed a very intensive 6 month Holistic Life Coaching program and since then I have been happy to be able to work with individuals and couples from all over the United States as well as all over the world! My coaching sessions are offered either in person at my office in Sebastopol, California, or via Zoom.

Holistic life coaching is similar in many ways to what I offer in my holistic psychotherapy practice, except for a few differences

As a coach I can work across state lines and country lines, while as a marriage and family therapist licensed in California I can only work with clients who live in California. So if you would like to work with me but live outside of California, my holistic coaching offerings make it possible for us to work together.

Couples Coaching is a top specialty of mine as I have 18 years of experience working with couples. There is really not much of a  difference in what I can offer couples as a life coach vs a couples therapist, other than I cannot diagnose or do trauma work as a couples coach. So I love that as a holistic relationship coach I can now help couples all over the world learn how to deepen intimacy and become a team to overcome the patterns that are blocking the flow of love between them! I have a very unique couples process that incorporates conscious love, spiritual partnership, attachment theory, and Imago inspired techniques with my own unique intimacy building version of non violent communication. And if you are questioning the effectiveness of Zoom couples sessions, just know that some of the testimonials on my website are from couples who did Zoom couples work with me! For the majority of people I work with zoom sessions are just as effective. So many couples that I have worked with, both via zoom and in person are now experiencing a much better quality of life; with less fighting, healthier communication, more harmony, and deeper intimacy. And don’t be daunted by the cost of couples coaching. Your romantic relationship is the foundation of your home life and has a major impact on your overall wellbeing. Money is an energy exchange, and what you are gaining in exchange is priceless! I am confident that once you start working with me you will know that you are making a worthwhile investment. This has been the consensus so far with the couples I have helped. You can learn more about the Conscious Love coaching process  that I offer couples if you scroll down a bit on this page.

Individual Coaching – As your holistic life coach I can help you with specific areas of your life, such as relationship, dating, or establishing a self care routine, (three of my top specialties as a coach!). Or I can help you with multiple areas. One difference in hiring me as your coach rather than your psychotherapist is that a coach cannot do any trauma work with a client who has not already worked with a psychotherapist on that trauma. So, if one of your needs is help with active post traumatic stress disorder, or if you have any other major psychological diagnosis that you haven’t yet received treatment for, and you are a California resident, you would want to inquire about hiring me as your holistic psychotherapist rather than your holistic life coach.

I offer the same powerful guided visualizations and mild hypnosis techniques to my coaching clients as I do with my therapy clients. Although there is typically a bit more structure, journaling and homework involved than what you would have in my psychotherapy process. Because my coaching offerings are a more structured version of my “bag of healing offerings,” I am able to offer different coaching packages that you can choose from. Purchasing a coaching package gives you a beginning date and an end date, which some clients prefer as it gives them more accountability and incentive to complete their homework each week.

Some clients prefer to pay for coaching on a weekly basis, which is also an option. But the benefits of buying a coaching package are that you get a discount, and for some individuals, it also helps them feel more committed to the process as the impact of making a larger one time payment is felt as a very tangible investment in their personal growth that they are now motivated to prioritize amidst all of the other demands of their life. The per session cost for my coaching sessions are the same as my psychotherapy sessions. Please visit my page titled “Services Offered, Fees, and Special Offers” for Holistic Life Coaching pricing information. I am currently offering a free 30 minute introductory zoom session for new coaching clients. I have listed some more details of my coaching offerings below. And please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions!

Soul Work/Higher Self/Inner Child Healing: This is a process of Soul Retrieval, or retrieving a lost soul part so that you regain your full authentic power and come into your true authentic self. You will learn (based on my 15 years of research, personal experience, and working with clients as a psychotherapist) about your Higher Self and your Soul, how to strengthen your connection to them, and how to let your Soul and Higher Self lead you. You will identify and establish your own spiritual beliefs and practices, participate in shamanic journeys/guided visualizations, learn tools such as powerful mindfulness/meditations/breath work practices, be given assignments that involve spending time in nature, journaling to strengthen your self image, shadow work; releasing un-forgiveness, processing grief, and stepping out of victim mentality and war consciousness. You will learn about certain important aspects of your astrology that aid your soul work. You will also learn about the power of your subconscious mind and how it creates your reality, how what you focus on expands, and how to harness this internal power to create your most optimal future.

Soul Work/Pre/Post Plant Ceremony Integration: This has very similar components as the Soul work/Higher Self/Inner Child Healing process with the addition of helping clients participating in plant ceremony healing work with preparation, intention setting, and post ceremony integration. Plant Ceremony Integration work helps you to retain and embody the sacred gifts that come from any healing, insights, messages, sacred visions, epiphanies and important consciousness shifts that occur right before, during or after your plant ceremony experience. Although participating in a plant ceremony is not necessary for deep soul level healing, and not everyone has the calling to work with plant medicine, plant medicines can be powerfully transformative spiritual allies in your soul work. Post ceremony integration helps you to maintain your connection to the spirit of the plant medicine so that you can more readily receive ongoing guidance and healing from the spirit of that plant with or without continuing to attend plant medicine ceremonies. As part of this process I will guide you on a shamanic journey to reintegrate the spirit of the plant medicine back into your auric field to more actively work with you. You will also learn how to clear negative or dark energy form your field. (Please note: I myself do not lead plant ceremonies, although I can potentially refer clients to one of several different medicine people who do).

Conscious Love Coaching: This is a beautiful relationship coaching process for couples (or individuals seeking to improve their relationship with their partner (or future partner). You will learn about the common patterns couples can fall into that erode their relationships, the importance of love expression and five love languages, navigating cultural differences, spiritual differences, sexuality differences, parenting differences, how to call “time outs” and have “nurturing talks” (a form of non-violent communication) rather than relationship eroding harsh conflict, or succumbing to resentment pile ups and blaming conundrums. You will learn about affair prevention, understanding how to set healthy boundaries for yourself and your partner, and you will create a relationship vision. You will also learn about spiritual partnership, or how to be more present and view your relationship (wether your married or not) as a sacred spiritual contract where you are learning and growing together and having each others backs. Conscious love is a beautiful process in which you become your own best nurturer as well as a nurturer to your partner. Your self image and the lens through which you see your partner can undergo major positive shifts that can lead to more vulnerability, authenticity, and love flowing, which naturally leads to tantric love (and tantric sex). Yay!

Conscious Dating Coaching: In November of 2025 I did a free talk on the Evolution of Romantic Love and then two weeks later I led a workshop on Conscious Romantic Love and Conscious Dating and both events were such a beautiful experience. I realized how beneficial my conscious love approach was for the singles who were frustrated with the climate of dating. And I had created exercises customized for singles as well as couples for the workshop that everyone really appreciated. One participant later messaged me to let me know the exercise for releasing blocks to love had helped her release a block to love that that she hadn’t been aware of, and one week later she opened herself up to a beautiful romantic relationship that she had formerly been holding at arms length. Those exercise as well as a spiritually uplifting and empowering protocol with guided meditations, journal prompts, and forgiveness work what I offer my dating coaching clients.
