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.”
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.”
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.”
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!!”
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.”
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.”
Hello, and happy spring to all! As I write, I’m looking out my window on a sunny day. There’s a light breeze, the daffodils are nodding proudly, and the leaf buds on the trees are bright, bright green. Everything is emerging, presenting itself, and bursting open. I’m uplifted by this beauty, for sure, and I’m also struck [...]
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 [...]
When life coaching clients say they want more balance, I often encourage them to consider fluidity instead of balance. In our current complex culture, striving for balance often feels like achieving a perfect state that is impossible to maintain. But fluidity gives us the ability to dance with life, rather than stand strong against it. Elizabeth Gilbert [...]
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 weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Ted Sarvata of The Purpose Podcast. We explored purpose as a state of "being" and how to discover your own purpose. I propose that each person has an innate purpose: being the most authentic, talented, loving version of yourself! I hope you take a [...]
During the first week of Kindergarten last year, my youngest son reported back to me like an explorer returning from unknown territories: "Mama, did you know at school you can't listen to your body?" I took a deep breath, trying to manage the anxiety I had about sending my spirited, constant-motion boy into public school. "Really," I [...]
One of the most satisfying experiences that I have in my work as a life coach is to witness a client coming into clarity and alignment with their own sacredness. The other day, during a conversation with a potential client, I was told: "I know why you are a life coach! Because life is precious and it [...]
What if there was one simple action you could take that had the ability to shift your feeling state almost instantly? What if you could have an anxiety-lessening tool that is at your disposal any moment of the day, no matter what you were doing? What if you could feel better, right this minute? Lucky for you [...]
One theme I hear regularly in coaching sessions with women is "I just don't feel like I am (fill in the blank) enough..." I sit across from women who are bright, talented, and loving but they can't quite see themselves. Sure, they are human and have messy edges (like we all do) but they regularly define their [...]
I have been thinking a lot this week about the dualities that we experience in our human lives. New clients often come to coaching with a confusion about how to be both intentional and accepting at the same time. They have a desire to be in action and to achieve their goals but they also want to [...]
