Leadership & Resilience Coaching
for Women and LGBTQ+ Professionals
Coaching, retreats, and leadership development for people who are ready to move beyond burnout and lead with clarity, confidence, and integrity.
Who I work with
I partner with individuals and organizations who are serious about sustainable, human-centered change—grounded in reality, informed by science, and aligned with their values.
Women navigating transition.
For women who want more confidence, clarity, and stability in their next chapter—without the constant guilt, overthinking, or pressure to keep everyone else comfortable.
LGBTQ+ professionals and leaders.
For LGBTQ+ leaders who are balancing visibility, performance, and wellbeing while operating in complex, often demanding environments.
doIToutside™ Coaching
An outdoor-based coaching framework that uses movement, survival psychology, and practical tools to help you reset your thinking, reduce overwhelm, and build genuine confidence.
Reset your thinking. Rebuild your confidence.
Your brain is designed to anticipate risk. It’s not always as generous in recognizing your capability. doIToutside™ creates space—physically and mentally—to step out of routines, challenge unhelpful patterns, and experiment with new responses to fear and stress.
- Interrupt overthinking and “freeze” responses.
- Support your nervous system through intentional movement.
- Rebuild trust in your own judgment and capacity.
- Clarify what you want next and design a realistic path forward.
How we work together.
Options include local outdoor sessions in Utah, hybrid walk-and-talk coaching, and preparation work for the 7-day B.O.S.S. × doIToutside retreat.
Sessions are direct, supportive, and structured around your specific goals—whether you’re rebuilding after a major life event or stepping into a larger leadership role.
