A Unique Transformational Process

Navigating these extraordinary times demands extraordinary transformations, calling for a bold and courageous approach to the process. In recent years, I’ve intricately woven my lifelong entrepreneurial experience, honed life skills as a solo parent and immigrant, deeply grounded spirituality, and a passion for breathwork. All of these shape my unparalleled contemporary approach when working with clients

Collaborating with me takes diverse forms, adapting to the unique entry points of my diverse clients. Regardless of the approach, the shared goal remains constant: profound transformations at personal, collective, professional, and spiritual levels. My practice is grounded in compassion, intuition, and bravery.

As a Certified Transformational and Leadership Coach, I hold a special affinity and training for the Internal Family System (IFS), a potent, evidence-based psycho-spiritual method in coaching and psychotherapy.

1:1 Coaching

My practice predominantly serves individuals in leadership positions striving to disrupt the status quo and those standing at critical crossroads, facing challenges like difficult health diagnoses, grief, or estrangement.
All seek a companion to navigate the “fire of a profound Transformational Process”—the discomfort accompanying breaking away from the norm to fully embrace their new realities and manifest their authentic selves. Together, we collaborate closely to achieve their goals, whether they be tangible or spiritual, providing support and guidance through their transformative journey.

Business Consulting

I partner with seasoned entrepreneurs navigating business shifts amidst profound structural and environmental changes.
Clients are passionate about challenging the status quo, envisioning non-traditional entrepreneurship, and daring to dream beyond conventional paths. Together, we carve a path beyond “business as usual,” reshaping possibilities, and fostering a world where innovation and unconventional thinking thrive.

What is Internal Family System (IFS) coaching?

that the mind is naturally multiple, all our inner parts containing valuable qualities, and that our core Self is the healing agent for it all.
IFS is a powerful method to strengthen or re-harness self-leadership.

We can discuss this during our initial intro session.

Coaches are not trained to heal psychological problems & analyze the past.
Coaching looks towards creating a deeper engagement with the present & more desirable future.
Coaching is not therapy yet can be healing.
It can never be a substitute for psychotherapy.

What if what we uncover during the coaching is too much for me to bear?

Coaching is not about pushing limits beyond a breaking point but rather understanding what is your support system & respecting your inner ecosystem.

If you are perusing my website, something is already bubbling up to the surface.
So yes, definitely schedule a free intro session and we will see what we can do together.

Yes & No.
Yes because I did, and still do, spend a fair amount of my time
learning to develop my understanding & awareness to be able to
hold, acknowledge, recognize, step aside, step up and step down when
needed.
No, because I am not a licensed therapist & our work together can never replace a trauma-informed psychotherapy.

I can guide you through it all to Taylor with you what could work the best for you.
