Meet Chris
Passionate About Supporting Others
2020 changed the world and it changed the way that I am approach my coaching and meditation work. Creating a virtual support network, where we circle with others to create a foundation that supports us, regardless of the state of the world or our location in that, is paramount. When the pandemic hit, our goals and work and families still continued, but our way of getting support changed and for some disappeared completely. I've decided to create a virtual space where you can receive affordable coaching and meditation instruction and support, for the specific issues you are facing.
What makes this model different from other coaching platforms, is that my focus is on coaching in circles. I find that there is a profound shift in our healing when we can see that others have experienced the path we find ourselves on. The times in my life where I've needed this kind of support were during times of unexpected loss; the quick death of my father from cancer, my ten year journey with infertility, my mother's battle with Alzheimer's disease and moving with my young family to new countries and states.
I wouldn't have made it through these chapters of change without the community of women in my life. Most profoundly, the women that I have been in circle with. Some of these circles organically occurred over breakfast tables, others were formed as a part of a class or course, but one was intentional. The intentional circle that I belong to is a "Women's Circle" that I've been a part of for nine years. The trust and support that I've found, in particular in the Women's Circle, has been life changing. These groups have given me more security during my chapters of change than anything else in my life. They are the reason I feel as grounded as I do today, while still having experienced so much grief in such a short span of time.
​
In my coaching circles, I aim to create the same synergy and trust that I've been lucky enough to be a part of. Bringing people together that need each other is profoundly rewarding. In these circles I teach a framework of listening and sharing, and of applying specific coaching tools, within the subject you are working through. These circles happen either monthly or bi-monthly and create a framework for both supporting your concerns and celebrating your growth.
​
If you prefer to work individually or you find that you need more support outside of the circle, I also offer individual coaching and meditation instruction on its own or as a way to supplement a circle. Working the circles has great benefits to your mental and physical well-being and I believe this way of relating and taking care of yourself can create lasting change in a way that you may not have experienced before.
​
As more of the world is able to gather safely in person, I will be offering in person circles and instruction in North Carolina, Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area.
