Why choose my guidance?

Whether you’re new to this work or well-established, I aspire to see you and support you to find even greater excellence in your practice through one-on-one guidance calls. 

The structure of the guidance relationship will depend on many factors and will be determined in the initial call. Your experience level, learning style, and level of commitment, as well as my availability and more, play a role in how we may work together.

In-person guidance opportunities can emerge from these calls; this is where guidance can turn more in to a mentor-apprentice style relationship. We can discuss this in the initial call.

There will be the eventual possibility to join an international network of conscientious practitioners of all levels of experience and orientation/approach.

Call commitment ‘packages’ and pricing are subject to change in 2023. The first call is paid, and it’s on that call where we go over the application form and discover how we may wish to work together. Once I receive your application, I’ll follow up with the calendar.

What I have to offer is guidance that is peer-to-peer. I don’t claim to have the answers or know what is the way. I draw upon my direct experience in the field:

As a practitioner:

  • Began serving in 2016
  • Case history of ~750 individual recipients/clients
  • ~1400 sessions: 80% of which have been in one-on-one contexts
  • Experience with both toad and jaguar
  • Cross-cultural/intersectional experience: I’ve brought my practice to 15+ countries 
  • 1/3 of clients are BIPOC since 2020
  • Gender ratio: 50:50

As a peer-reviewed educator

  • Public speaking engagements in 5 countries (pre-pandemic)
  • Multiple panels, keynotes, and podcasts
  • Convening multiple in-person practitioner gatherings since 2018
  • Online guidance and co-learning platform (with multiple modules) ran in 2021
