Words from those who have worked with me in Spiritual Accompaniment, Facilitation, Coaching & Organizational Development.
M’s coaching work is a revelation. As a therapist myself, I am very familiar with being a part of helping relationships and strategies for moving through difficult times. Despite my training and experience, I found myself swept up by M’s deeply present attention, thoughtful questions, and unconditional support. I felt like I had been given a dose of oxygen after my time with them, and was both more aware of what I was dealing with and tuned into myself in a way I could not get to on my own. M’s help was crucial in opening up my thinking and helping me to feel empowered just when I needed it most.
Rachel B., Therapist
M is a smart, engaging and thoughtful practitioner. M has truly exceptional listening skills that allow them to engage with clients where they need to be met. M’s style tends towards a quietly grounded presence in the room, both asking hard questions while supporting those engaged in the conversations they facilitate.
Julian P., Facilitator & Mediator
M is a highly talented facilitator with a keen sense of what individuals and groups need to learn, grow and feel supported. M brings deep empathy, sensitivity, wisdom and skillfulness to all their work. It has been a great pleasure and a privilege to work with M in collaborative and team settings.
Nancy S., Practitioner of Restorative Practices
M has the ability and agility to get to the heart of an awkward situation while at the same time putting the participants at ease in a graceful but also direct manner. The gentle and comforting way in which they are able to speak with their clients, coaching them to find the right choice of words for better and more accurate communication is a beauty to behold. M blends their profound knowledge and professional skills with a natural ability to work with people. M’s genuine interest in others brings a refreshing change of atmosphere into difficult conversations which they can take on by the horns with their straightforward and organized approach.
Becky A., Business Owner
M’s work in Spiritual Accompaniment is a safe space to reflect, debrief, and explore my personal connection with spirituality. As a queer-identifying individual, this was an especially refreshing mode of conversation that allowed dialogue around my experiences with religion and spirituality without presumption, judgment, or being pushed in a particular direction. M consistently demonstrated compassion, thoughtfulness, flexibility, and most importantly – a genuinely human presence.
Travis W.
M has the wonderful ability to deeply listen to what you are saying. There have been numerous occasions when I have needed help in navigating certain challenging situations and their ability to truly hear me has allowed me to move through those situations with grace.
Camille H., LAc, LMT
Working with M is immeasurably rewarding. Their gentle, thoughtful, intelligent and inclusive perspectives changed how I viewed and positioned myself within the most challenging relationships in my life. Not only have my most challenging relationships transformed for the better, working with M strengthened my ability to be more conscious in everyday life.
April P., Events & Design Consultant
M worked with me to help me deal with two very serious conflicts in my life that were causing me difficulties and distress. I very much appreciated their intelligent and imaginative way of working; the result of which was my ability to face up to conflicts with more courage and determination. M works in a very efficient way. I heartily recommend M to anyone in need of coaching.
Jackie H., Mindfulness Teacher & Psychological Coach
M is skilled in the art of teaching how subtle shifts of language can turn a statement from inflammatory to generative. M’s attentive, patient communication style models good behavior, so that learning is not merely conceptual, but also experiential. M creates a safe space in which to tackle any conflict with her grounded and respectful neutrality.
Jessica P., Workshop Participant
M’s clear explanations and relevant examples helped me to really understand the concepts that they were presenting. I have integrated things I learned from M into the way I perceive and act in situations of conflict. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with M.
