Mentoring
Skillful, relational support…when you need it
Mentoring provides ongoing relational support that is so often indispensable to maintaining course on our paths of development and purpose.
At the threshold of a new identity, season or era or in the midst of your efrort, you can be deeply listened to, met, held, expertly offered guidance that factors who you are, how you want to operate and where you’re headed.
Together we identify a clear mentoring topic that can be project-based and highly specific or wider to encompass a vision that’s unfolding.
If you’re bringing conscious attunement to your life, circumstances, capacities and gaps, and regularly engage life practices for your well-being, but you're going it alone and need a sounding board, mentoring is a beautiful companion to your journey.
We meet bi-weekly for 60 minutes and for a 30-minute check-in every other week. Plus, phone, text or email support throughout the month within hours of 9am-4pm ET, Monday through Friday.
Fee: monthly retainer $485 with 4-month commitment. Sliding scale available modeled on the green bottle.
Birth Doula
A companion for birth: I bring reverence and sometimes sacred rebellion to the spaces where care, strength and steadiness are needed.
I work with birth givers to identify and uphold what’s important to them as they navigate the terrain of pregnancy, the journey of birth and the many decisions that arise.
Birth is a right of passage for birthing people and the babies they bring in, but pregnancy and birth occur in all kinds of context and circumstances, planned and unexpected. I am a nonjudgmental partner and my intention is to uphold birther autonomy, minimize unwanted interventions and hold space as you cross the threshold of birth.
As a support person in birth, my support is non-clinical but includes holding space, offering information and comfort measures in labor.
All birthing people and situations are unique, so please schedule a consult to discuss the support you desire and service customizations that will meet your needs across the prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum spectrum.
Cost: Starts at $1200 and varies depending on contracted services (Improving access to doula services is important to me. I am open to barter, exchange and offer limited free care to at-risk individuals).

Community Grief Tending
What we grieve for, we never grieve alone.
Many of us sense that what we experience as private sadness is actually common experience. We come together to grieve to acknowledge that truth—that none of us is separate; that the suffering of one is the suffering of many and that healing is also a shared experience.
As humans, we may have the instinct to move toward each other in times of joy and sorrow; our impulse is often to share our stories and to connect through receiving others’, but we don’t always have that opportunity. This circle is an intentional way to share our personal stories of grief in a process called ‘grief tending’.
Cultures around the world have tended grief through community ceremony and ritual for millennia, but today in America we find ourselves in strange times. Many of us live severed from our ancestral origins and have been enculturated to disconnect from our bodies and each other. Many of us miss our village and ways to acknowledge, process, mourn, heal—and even celebrate—together.
The process of sharing and receiving builds the personal and cultural resilience needed to thrive in difficult times. If your grief is close in and personal, welcome. If your grief is for the sorrows of the world, welcome. Attendees agree to maintain confidentiality and how and when to participate is always a choice.
