Spark Sessions💥
Sometimes all you need is just one powerful conversation to spark movement.
Spark Sessions are focused, one-time coaching conversations that get you the clarity, insight, and momentum you need to take that next best step.
Book Your Spark Session
When things get loud — too many demands, too many choices, too much happening in the world — it's easy to lose access to your own thinking. You have the answers. Let's take a pause and find them together.
In a Spark Session, you get my undivided attention, compassionate presence, and well-honed knack for asking questions that cut through the noise.
In a 75-minute Spark Session, we can...
Shake loose some options around a specific challenge or decision
Metabolize a setback so you can get back to it
Get your mojo back when you're feeling stalled out
Re-Center your why
Figure out what the heck is feeling so off about that... project? offer? person?
My approach to coaching is about exploration and revealing what's already in you. While action plans and accountability are great, sometimes breakthroughs come from stepping back and reconnecting to your inner knowing.
If you've been planning and pomodoro-ing and are still in a holding pattern, it could be time for a different kind of conversation.
Here are some things folks* have been able to shift in just one session:
After a weird interaction with a colleague, Kathryn wondered why she felt so threatened and defensive. During the session, she identified what was hers and what belonged to her colleague so that, going forward, she was able to meet this person on her front foot.
Michael was facing a major life decision without a clear best option. While he didn't find his answer in session, he did identify the essential questions that he and his partner needed to focus on.
With a deadline looming, Sylvia was looking for reasons to back out of a project. We discovered a real fear of not measuring up. Once her fearful part felt seen, we were able to mine past successes to recapture her confidence and motivation to knock it out of the park.
What's to Expect
Coaching with me is a specialty blend of IFS Parts Work, Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness, positive psychology, and narrative coaching approaches. The exact mix depends on the focus of the session and what feels appropriate.
Underneath these modalities is decades of mindfulness practice, which means I can sit with whatever shows up without needing to analyze it, fix it, or rush it along. I'll approach our time together with a beginner's mind, expecting things to make sense in their own way.
Above all else, I'm obsessively person-centered. You won't hear me talk about mindset issues, limiting beliefs, thought distortions, or whatever the gremlins are. (Seriously, what are the gremlins?). Because I trust you and your inherent capacity to set your own intentions and chart your own path. My job is to meet you with openness and compassion and reflect all that goodness back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The intention of a Spark Session is to help you gather enough "data" to take the next best step. Sometimes that leads to a resolution and sometimes it's incremental progress. But if you've been stuck for awhile, even a baby step can be just the thing to get things moving again.
One of the biggest factors is how quickly we build rapport. If we haven't worked together or you don't know much about me, your parts may not be ready to trust me with something really emotional. If you're someone who needs time to warm up to new people, bring a piece of your challenge that feels accessible.
-
Drop me a note with the gist of what you want to bring to a session and I'll let you know what I think. Even if your overall challenge is bigger than I think we can tackle in a single session, I'll offer some suggestions about what aspects we could explore.
Don't worry, I'm not going to try to upsell you on an extended package. But I will be honest about what's possible. I want you to have all the information you need to make a good decision for yourself.

If you're looking for ongoing support, I offer that with Wayfinding Sessions. If Wayfinding doesn't feel like the right fit and you're really interested in booking multiple Spark Sessions, let's talk. I'd liked to understand what your goals and intentions are to make sure this is the right container for them.
-
If you want to continue working together, let me know and we can talk about some options at the end of your session.
You don't! All you'll be asked to do is turn inward, reflect, and consider possiblities.
And honestly, unless you tell you me that you absolutely want parts work support, we might not talk about parts at all. This is about what you need, not my framework.
