How do sessions happen?
We meet for one-hour sessions either via phone or video call through Zoom, whichever is your preference.
Can we check in between sessions?
For most coaching and consulting packages, I'm available via email or WhatsApp for encouragement and advice for the duration of our work together.
How much time should I plan to spend on my homework between sessions?
It varies, but at least 30 minutes, and no more than 2 hours.
Do you have payment plans?
Yes! You can make a proposal that works for you, and we'll see if it works for me too. Thus far I have been able to find a suitable arrangement with everyone who is interested. Don't let money be the thing that holds you back.
What about sliding scale payment options?
Even though I think capitalism sucks, I don’t offer sliding scale these days. I used to, but I found that it never quite had the effect that I was hoping for. That said, I’m deeply committed to financial accessibility, so let’s find a way to make it work! I am often able to offer partial solidarity scholarships for folks at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities.
How do I actually go about paying you?
We’ll cover this more in detail once we decide to work together, but the gist is that I invoice through Square. There’s no set-up for you; you just need to have a credit or debit card. If you’re on a payment plan, you’ll get monthly invoices that will auto-debit from your card on the same day each month. It’s easy for both of us.
What if I can't commit to multiple months of support right now but I still want to work with you?
I'm so glad you asked! If you just want a single session, click HERE.
Are you a therapist? What are your credentials?
In terms of my training, I like to joke that I'm qualified but wholly un-credentialed. I am not a therapist or a social worker or even a certified life coach. I started coaching in 2015 as an organic evolution of my work as a yoga teacher. I was already holding emotional and spiritual space for my students; coaching became the container for a natural deepening those relationships. I've been dedicated to my own healing since 2011, and I've been a student of liberation since 2003; these experiences inform all my work.
Is there anyone you DON’T work with?
I feel clear about what's beyond my scope of practice and don't take on clients who need that kind of support. If you’re dealing with big issues like major grief, addiction, family issues, serious depression, or other mental illness, we're probably not the best fit.

Also, I don’t offer coaching or consulting services to most yoga businesses. Click here for more on this.
I think I want to work with you! What are my next steps?
I’ve currently got a waiting list for new clients. You can sign up for the business consulting wait list at the bottom of this page, or the life coaching wait list over here.
