Best of both worlds!”Savannah is great! And so is her unique, custom tailored services in exploring new career avenues and exploring healing through her awesome body work. Highly recommended!!”
Wise Intuitive Experience With Practical Solutions! “Working with Savannah has been a rich and wonderful experience. She immediately grasps what is important and hones in on it, even things I might have written off or not paid attention to. Her experience and resources helped me navigate a particularly challenging situation quickly and easily, saving me a lot of time and stress. My view of what is possible has expanded to include parts of myself and my life that I had forgotten about or given up on, and now I have a plan for how to get there.”
You should really call Savannah today…”Savannah is simply the best. She listens with compassion, humor and intelligence, and helps you come to your own conclusions. She has a real gift for cutting through the confusion and extraneous information. You leave a session with incredible clarity and energy for moving forward. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Consistently transformative sessions! ”I first saw Savannah 3 years ago for about 5 months. I was a new mom and unhappy with my career decisions. Seeing her really helped to calm and ground me, and also to trust my own intuition about my next steps. I came back to see her recently and have found the same consistently transformative feedback and guidance. Seeing Savannah, I believe in the power of coaching to help me live the way I want to live my life. Every time, I feel more centered and confident about where I am going.”
Savannah is my champion! “Savannah is supportive in such an intuitive, nurturing and non-invasive way. Her consistent ways of checking in and sharing insight helps me to feel grounded and supported in trying out new ways of integrating with the world around me. I feel heard and seen and understood. I am thankful for her way of holding me accountable to living my authentic life.”
So blessed! ”I’ve known Savannah for over 14 years. She guided me back from postpartum depression after the birth of my daughter many years ago and recently I have sought life coaching from her. Empathetic, kind and intelligent – I feel “heard” and understood for the first time in years. Her metaphors, humor and guidance have lifted me from a place of old, toxic patterns. She is, without question, the most emotionally gifted and empathetic human I have been fortunate enough to have in my life.”
I work with many busy, overwhelmed women. They are juggling parenting, creative ventures, business ideas, careers, relationships, community involvement and their own self care, or lack of... And they feel spread too thin or like they can't do anything fully. In our life and career coaching sessions, we focus on identifying priorities. The idea that you can do [...]
In life and career coaching, we have an important tool that I will simply call Consciousness. The more aware and clear we are about the perceptions, patterns, personal choices, values and belief systems that are impacting a client's life, the more we can create lasting change. I graduated from one of the top coaching schools, IPEC, over [...]
Happy first day of Spring! The changes of season invite us connect to the rhythms of nature and in my life and career coaching, I find it helpful to tune in. Most of us living in the First World aren’t as impacted by the seasons as our ancestors or our human family living in subsistence cultures. I [...]
This week I received an email from a discouraged career coaching client who didn't get the job. From her words, I could feel all the self-criticism and hopelessness that she was feeling. I am sharing with you my email pep talk because it applies to you (and me) too when things don't go the way we had planned. "YOU [...]
Have you ever had an aha moment that feels just like the sun bursting through the clouds, a wide blue sky suddenly opened up for you? I have. And I've seen my life coaching clients faces brighten with the same experience. One of my joys as a life and career coach is to teach my clients how to create the conditions [...]
This deep, dark time of year, especially in Portland Oregon, many of my life coaching clients are saying things like: I feel more tired; why can't I get it all done; I just want to curl up on my couch; I don't really want to go to that work event... At the same time, I watch my [...]
This week is a good time to remember the scientifically proven benefits of gratitude! One of the reasons clients come to life coaching is their desire to focus on what is already working well, to build on their resources and strengths and to shift into a more creative mindset.

I had the pleasure of seeing Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love," speak this weekend in Portland, Oregon while on tour promoting her new book on Creativity and Fear! In Life and Career Coaching, FEAR is a common denominator for all of my clients. Because they are walking into some kind of unknown territory and because [...]
A have a life/career coaching client who is going through a big transition: planning to leave her corporate job and pursue more mission based work in alignment with who she is and how she wants to be spending her time. She has done it all right. Clarified her values, mapped out her priorities, gathered support from family [...]
Since I could hold a pencil, I have always known that I was a writer. I filled up my Mead notebooks with stories about adventure, magic and self-discovery (including sketches but I am no visual artist). My little girl self knew about creativity and the power of story and she naturally expressed herself. When I got into [...]
Many clients come to life coaching hoping to break a painful, restrictive cycle in their lives. The context is varied, from relationships to career to personal habits, but the problem is often the same. They are stuck on a repeat cycle that says something like: "I always attract people into my life who are unavailable...I can't ever [...]
By Zohar Manor-Abel, shared via Flickr To begin 2014, I have a simple question for you: Who do you want to be this year? You, like me and everyone else I have met so far, have many different selves inside. It is almost like we have an inner choir of voices, often singing in different keys. You [...]
A couple of years ago, I completed a two-year intensive training in Hakomi Therapy with the META Institute. The most recent research in neurobiology shows that mindfulness-based therapy is very effective for long term sustainable change. My life and career coaching clients come to me for one primary reason: They are ready for Change! This recent article [...]
One thing I have learned from working intimately with humans over the past 10 plus years is that we are always changing and growing. It can be an uncomfortable, confusing process (which is why I have a job) and it can be incredibly liberating as well, especially if we do everything we can to embrace, rather than [...]
In my experience with my coaching clients, myself and other humans, I have discovered that the misalignment between WORD (what I say I want) and ACTION (what I do about it) comes from one of the following issues: I don’t really want what I SAY I want. Instead, I am operating on an assumption about what I [...]
