Giving Back
Coaching with intention. Giving with purpose.
Coaching invites reflection on what matters and how we want to live. I believe growth carries more meaning when it connects to something larger than ourselves.
I commit a portion of my coaching fees to organizations that support nourishment, belonging, purpose, and long-term stewardship. Rather than choosing a single cause, I invite clients to direct that support toward an organization on this page that resonates most with them.
This approach creates shared impact. Coaching supports client growth and together that care carries forward into the world beyond our work.
How It Works
Shared impact through client choice
At the start of a coaching engagement, you select one organization from the list below. That choice guides where a portion of your coaching fees flows.
You can revisit or change that selection along the way. I make the donation at the conclusion of our work together.
Simple. Thoughtful. Aligned.

The Ripple Effect
Impact looks different for everyone. Some people feel called to nourish. Others to protect, connect, preserve, or inspire.
By choosing where support flows, you help extend the values behind your coaching into the world around us.
Create your life. Help support others along the way.
