You are a whole human being. 

Be supported as one.
The Fractally Whole Approach

To engage big challenges we need support, confidantes, conspirators, and accompaniment—to help us see and hear ourselves, sense our next actions, navigate challenges, and care for ourselves amidst it all.

The practice of true coaching respects the unique nature of each person—walking alongside you on your journey rather than directing what you should do or how you should do it.

As your journey is unique, so is our work together: whether through a customized path or a six-month structured approach, this support is designed for your life as a whole human being, guided by the Fractally Whole coaching approach.

  • MIND: Inner Development

    Connect with the wisdom living within, through, and around you. Expand your capacities for contextual discernment, insightful action, seeing and integrating diverse perspectives, and creating novel responses. Wisdom.

  • BODY: Functional Health

    On behalf of your health and well-being, develop personalized "bio-individual" practices centered around four core modifiable lifestyle habits—sleep, food, movement, and caring for stress—informed by the principles and practices of Functional Medicine. Regeneration.

  • RELATIONS: Fulfilling Connection

    Nourish your connections and take steps to grow your personal and professional teams to learn from, grow with, create with—for support, challenge, joy, play, and generative connection. Co-creation.

  • WORLD: Meaningful Contribution

    Explore and clarify your own unique and meaningful expressions of contribution in the world while honoring the needs and desires of the changing stages of your life. Fulfillment.

Five Core Practices

  • Shift your perception and interaction with the world from seeing yourself and others as objects to drive, command, control, correct, and perfect, to experiencing the interconnectedness of all life and engaging with deep compassion and dedicated integrity—starting with yourself.

  • Develop systems, flows, and habits designed for who you are, what you hold as most important, and what supports your overall well-being and capacity to contribute meaningfully to the world. Paradoxically: by honoring our limited human energy and capacity, we expand it.

  • As individuals embedded in cultures of “separation,” we often view challenges through either/or lenses, such as through a biological, psychological, or social lens, rather than all three simultaneously. Many therapeutic models now recognize the value of a biopsychosocial approach. 

    By expanding this to include your unique contexts and spiritual perspectives, we adopt a bio-psycho-social-contextual-spiritual approach. While it’s a mouthful to say, such an approach ultimately clarifies and simplifies our actions.

  • Growing is an ongoing journey as our awareness expands, our habits and practices change, and we embody new ways of seeing and being in the world. It is important to honor the time needed for learning, gestating, metabolizing, and transitioning in our lives, without expecting ourselves to leap from the equivalent of Kindergarten to graduate school in any aspect of our lives.

  • Our lives are not static; as soon as we reach one milestone, a next reveals itself. This can feel like an endless slog up a mountain, especially when we treat ourselves as objects to force up that mountain. The parts of ourselves that are tired or feel unseen or unheard resist being dragged, pushed, and pulled, leading us to either apply greater force—or give up.

    By honoring your good reasons for doing what you already do and listening to the wisdom of your resistances, you can create conditions within yourself and in the world that support ongoing learning and growth. In this way, “transformation” becomes an everyday quality of your life, rather than yet another milestone to accomplish again and again.

How does the coaching process work?

Initial Session:  We begin with an initial conversation to gain a sense of your unique situation, goals, and challenges, establishing an understanding of where you are and what’s calling you forward.

Regular Coaching Sessions: We will have regular sessions where we explore your current challenges, tensions, insights, actions, and growth steps. We will listen for next steps, new understanding, and emerging awareness. We will reflect on content provided during and between sessions to support your integration of the core practices. And we will welcome all the surprises! 

Contextual Integration: We will continuously adapt our approach based on your evolving circumstances and contexts, ensuring that our work together evolves with your journey.

Financial Investment: A sliding scale financial investment is designed to accommodate your unique needs. I work with each client to determine a commitment within a range that is accessible while also encouraging prioritization of our work together.

  • For generative ongoing growth—two 50-minute sessions/month.

  • For sensing & responding to challenges as they emerge—50-minute sessions scheduled as-needed in 1, 3, or 6-sessions blocks to be used as desired.

 FAQs

  • I welcome individuals of all genders, identities, and orientations, and am qualified to support people who are 18 years or older.

    If, at any point, you feel that the limits of my lived identities are impacting your coaching experience, I genuinely invite your feedback to ensure a supportive coaching environment for you.

  • I work primarily with clients across the US and Canada, and welcome clients from around the world.

    My language capacities for effective coaching are limited to English.

    Please reach out by email if the times available for scheduling aren’t possible for you in your time zone.

  • In-person sessions are welcomed when possible considering our locations. For context, I live and work in the United States in Bellevue, WA

    Bellevue is on the ancestral homelands of the Coastal Salish Peoples—Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, Snoqualmie, and Tulalip—who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial.

  • Scheduling is a dynamic and flexible process. At the close of each session we’ll schedule the next.

    Alternatively, every client has the freedom to book their own time in my calendar at any time, and typically does so within a window of one week to one month in advance. This approach provides the advantage of adapting to life's changes with minimal rescheduling.

    In the case that you require a consistent day of the week and time, we can work together to see if we can find a possible day and time.

What to look for in coaching?

When you're navigating change, coaching helps move you from "Point A to Point B." It’s like having someone who’s ‘been there’ alongside with you, making the journey smoother.

Great coaching is about someone who listens, asks the right questions, and supports you in finding your own way.

What Makes for Great Coaching?

1. Coaching Talents: A strong coach listens deeply, reflects your insights back to you, provides meaningful resources, asks insightful questions, and amplifies your own discernment. They help you stay connected to your goals while maintaining your intrinsic motivation. These qualities of great coaching alone can be genuinely transformative.

2. Domain-Specific Expertise: Coaching becomes even more powerful when combined with deep knowledge in a relevant field. For example, when seeking to improve your health, a coach with specialized education and certification in health and wellness coaching can significantly accelerate your progress.

3. Lived Experience: Coaching is most impactful when a coach has firsthand experience with the journey you're on. This lived experience provides a foundation for empathy and offers practical insights for effective action.

4. Sense of Connection: The relationship you build with your coach can turn a "need to do" into a "want to do." When you genuinely enjoy working with your coach, it fosters a sense of partnership and collaboration.

When facing significant change, challenge, or disruption, coaching can profoundly uplift your life—both now and in the future.

Times such as these require a coach with the capacity to support not only a transition from Point A to Point B but also from Point A to a yet-to-be-discovered Point C—representing who you are becoming and the life you are evolving into.

In such times, additional coaching attributes are crucial:

5. Embodied Presence: A coach with embodied presence—nuanced, discerning, patient, and wise—can help you explore and grow into new awareness, possibilities, and potential.

6. Integrative Capacities: A coach with integrative capacities across multiple domains can help you prioritize your energy and resources across seemingly competing contexts. They view perceived limitations as design parameters, not constraints, enabling balanced care for the whole of your life.

7. Focused on Your Growth: A coaching approach centered on your unique journey, focused on your next genuine steps, and moving at a pace that allows your growth to unfold naturally.

8. Commitment to Your Greatest Outcomes: Coaching that acknowledges your journey as uniquely yours, drawing from the experiences of others—including your coach’s—while remaining focused on your life and your ultimate goals.

You will find all eight of these attributes in our work together.
