Include yourself on your priority list.
Many of us spend time and energy devoted to caring for others: through our professions, in our relationships, in our roles with families and friends.
It is important to remember that we, too, are deserving of our own time, attention and care: time to reflect on what matters, to attend to our well-being, to make more space for rest, play, joy and flourishing.
I offer 1:1 sessions with a focus on helping you to include yourself in your circle of care, and to feel more at home and empowered in your own life.
Choose one approach or a combination for your 1:1 sessions:
- Health and Wellness Coaching
- 1:1 Teaching in self-compassion, yoga, mindfulness, or Life Design
- Self-Care Design

Self-Care Design
It is widely acknowledged that self-care is critical for our well-being. Yet, it can be a challenge to develop meaningful and sustainable practices for self-care, especially in the midst of our busy days.
Just as a tailor might custom fit a garment for you, I can work with you to design a self-care routine just for you to fit within your life.
Self-care can include stepping away for a walk, to go to the gym, or have a chat with a good friend.
Self-care can also include practical self-compassion, mindfulness, and yoga exercises in the midst of life –
no stepping away needed.
This means we can use a range of tools to attend to ourselves anytime: in a difficult conversation, in a meeting, while with friends or family, walking the dog, or while preparing for sleep.
- Available themes and areas of focus include:
- On-the-spot practices for daily life
- Custom yoga sequences
- Practices for stressful moments
- Relaxation techniques
- Grounding techniques
- Explore mind-body practices with customized instruction.
- Have support to design and integrate the practices into your day/week.
- Develop and refine a meaningful and sustainable self-care routine
Benefits of 1:1 sessions include:
- Softening self-criticism
- Prioritizing realistic self-care
- Feeling more empowered
- Honoring and accepting a full range of thoughts and feelings
- Making connections between challenges and existing skills (bringing yoga / mindfulness off the mat or the cushion)
- Supporting inner growth and strength
- Having a thought-partner to help you talk through and address stressors
“I can’t express how much I enjoyed interacting with you during our coaching sessions. I got so much more out of it than I could have possibly imagined. With your gentle & insightful guidance, I was able to shift some long ingrained patterns of harsh self-judgment.“
