Vision Doula Startup Coaching Learning Journey Personal & Corporate Retreats Alignment Planning Ethics Evaluation Thought Leadership

I work with idea to early stage founders and high achieving professionals who aim to bring their gifts into the world in a more ethical way. Drawing on a diversity of life experiences, I weave together different ways of knowing and being to support the individual/organization/product's journey into greater wholeness.

I have a lot to give. I haven’t written a book or developed a 10 step framework, nor am I a certified coach or educator. Working with me is part coaching, consulting, mentorship, therapy, advisory, friendship, partnership. I meet people where they are at in a customized, experiential, emotional and embodied way. Highly gripped to the reality of one's world in this moment.

I’m a bridge between worlds, valuing balance, alignment, embodiment, integrity, integration, creativity, slowness. Throughout my journey I have cultivated a powerful network practitioners, experts and investors to support unique needs of those interested in ecological, social and spiritual regeneration. Ideal engagements are with individuals and teams that are idea to early stage (pre-Series A), mission-driven, and consumer facing. With an openness to receiving less traditional forms of support, and willingness to be changed and question core assumptions. Bonus points for pre-existing relationship and ability to meet in person!

🐣 Vision Doula

A doula provides physical and emotional support during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. The birthing analogy is apt for founders bringing an idea into the world, from abstract thoughts into form with a life of its own. Having danced with dozens of ideas of my own (from never leaving the napkin, to $1M in funding), I've learned some things about how to nurture these babies in the sensitive earliest stage, when each choice has a significant influence on what unfolds.

Together let's explore:

• Questions to get started
• How your baby may best fit with your lifestyle dreams, needs and boundaries
• Ethical considerations
• Options and next steps for moving forward

📚 Learning Journey

I believe each of us has a gap between what we know now, and what we need to know in order to create and live in a more impactful/life-honoring/good way. Let’s call this gap “the Learning Journey that awaits” and take closing it seriously + playfully!

Having embarked on several Learning Journeys over the last few years, I’m feeling inspired to support others in crafting their own. Together let’s explore:

• The big questions you are actually asking
• Blind spots and unlearning you’ve been hesitant to engage
• Inner work to prioritize investing in
• Shorter term content/classes/trainings/experiences/practices to support professional goals
• Longer term planning to support life goals

Interested in crafting your own learning journey? I'm happy to support! See here.

🙏 Alignment Plan

It's 2021. Do you know where your business is going? I believe the game is changing from "big money" and even "big impact" to "right relationship." Meaning more alignment between one's values and visions for a more beautiful world, embodied through all dimensions of product, organization, and lifestyle. That playbook doesn't exist. The role models are few and far between. We get to embark on a journey to re-imagine how our creations can fit more harmoniously into the web of life. Inspired by JumpScale's Good Well Clean philosophy, Alignment Planning may include:

• Identifying aspects of product, org, and culture that are out of balance and alignment
• Crafting custom Learning Journeys to support re-alignment
• Articulating and sharing Alignment Plan (e.g. Maya Health and North Star Ethics Pledge)
• Implementing Alignment Plan

⚖ Ethics Evaluation

The next generation of great organizations will have ethics integrated at the core. It's never too late to take inventory of where you're at and we're you are going. A small but meaningful investment in risk management, founder wellbeing, and integrity to mission, vision and values.

Together let's:

• Identify areas of concern, misalignment, and struggle that might not otherwise be voice
• Audit product and roadmap for potential unintended consequences, dark patterns, low hanging fruit for building trust and impact
• Audit messaging (website / marketing / product) communications for language that could be more accessible, inclusive, values oriented
• Audit strategy to evaluate potential risks and impact opportunities

✒️ Thought Leadership

I believe each of us has access to a powerful voice that can be of service to our communities and the collective conversation. Writing has become one of my core spiritual practices, helping me integrate past experiences and push edges of understanding around topics that matter to me. Together let's explore:

• Telling your personal story
• Identifying unique and valuable insights for your audience
• Developing a content strategy

See some of my writing here for examples of how I have brought my voice forward.

🙇🏻 Path of the Humane Technologist

We don't get humane technology without humane technologists. What's on the curriculum? In March 2021 I published a blog post to spark conversation around this important meta-question, proposed a personal development curriculum for technologists, and started connecting with those who are ready to jump into the mystery of this work. If you would like to participate in an upcoming course, or would like to run through the experience privately (or for a team), please DM me! More information:
