Coaching

Coaching conversations for more meaning in work and life.

Pay attention to it.

​You've got a quiet, persistent sense that what you're doing and who you are aren't quite aligned. Something is asking for more...or asking for different. And it hasn't gone away.

The longing you feel isn't a problem. It's a signal worth following. And you probably already know that. Which is why you're here.

The questions that keep returning

How could I wake up actually wanting to go to work?

Does what I do still fit who I am?

How do I show up as the person I actually am—not the one I think others expect?

How do I find more meaning in the work I'm already doing?

Where would my life change if I were to do something different?

What would it take to feel at home in the life I've already built?

What coaching is actually like with me

I hold the structure. You bring what's real. Coaching with me isn't about being told what to do next. It's about creating the conditions for you to hear what you already know and say it out loud. What felt tangled becomes clearer. What felt stuck finds a direction. The next steps you leave with are ones you built yourself.

What clients leave with is clarity on the next right step, practical decisions made, and, more often than not, a sense of relief that the questions they've been carrying have somewhere to go.

I'm a board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC) and an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), informed by Appreciative Inquiry with additional training in solution-focused practice. What that means for you: a coaching relationship held to professional standards, with real structure beneath the open conversation.

“Lea is a very talented coach with a wonderful grounding presence. She has this way of being present in a calming and non-judgemental way, creating a safe space where it's easy to start seeing possibilities. Speaking with Lea helped me get unstuck on a major life topic in which I couldn't see the light for years (not for the lack of trying). And to top it off, it felt easy and fun! I don't know how she does it. I didn't feel like I was doing any work, or moving mountains, but somehow I came out of our sessions with major shifts. I am so grateful.”
