Professional Development Programs

Accompanied Coaching Journeys for Creative, Eco-Conscious, Heart-Centered Professionals

Unleash the power of your artsy, earthy, mover and shaker self in your work.

I know you know it. I know you feel it.

You’re a seasoned professional feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your work’s true purpose. Despite your dedication, something just doesn’t feel right, and rigid, outdated workplace practices hinder your ability to tap into creative possibilities. You’re craving a new approach—one that’s creative, supportive, and rooted in your core values.

You work hard. Real hard. And you care. Big time.

I respect that. Deeply.

As an eco-conscious professional, you face complex challenges in your work. Diverse interests, decision-making conflicts, and workplace stagnation can leave you feeling drained.

Our tailored professional development coaching is grounded on creative, practical, land-based techniques designed for self-aware, driven leaders like you who are ready to release the cycles of exhaustion and find a more balanced, inspired way of working.

Let’s reignite your passion and unleash the efforts of your creative, earthy self to efficiently and effectively weave your work into the world (and avoid burnout in the process).

get at what is really important

“Working with the land is nurturing, it helps you to practice mindfulness and quiet your thoughts in order to get at what is really important.  It helps one to gain clarity.  I find that when I go into nature with a question (or even to find out what the question is in the first place) being in nature can help to center myself in what would be right for me at that time.  Connecting with nature is a way to bring yourself back into relationship with the earth, yourself and others.  I found when I treated the land with respect and honour, it helped foster my respect and honour for other human beings.”
