Become your best self by maximizing your potential and optimizing your life!
Human Centered Leadership
Executive, Life, & Wellness Coaching
Our modern day world is faced with a constant struggle to keep pace with constant change and meet ever-growing demands.
While stress, burnout, and overwhelm are high —
motivation, relationships, and health are poor.
If we're to thrive while taking on more complex roles, innovate in high-pace environments, and energize our people at work and at home, we have to rethink the way we lead, show up in our lives, take care of our health, and connect with others.

A Holistic Approach for Your WHOLE Self
While many coaches silo their attention on only one theme in their coaching, I honor all the different aspects of you that make you a whole person. Consider that if you're not sleeping well, you can't be at your best the next day. If you're not sleeping well, you'll be exhausted, craving sugar and caffeine all day long. If you're tired and binging on sugar, you'll be struggling at work with nothing left in the tank when you return home to your partner and kids. And if you're blood sugar is yo-yoing, you won't sleep well and the cycle continues.
The problem is, when we don't show up at our best, we often experience feelings of guilt and shame (& sometimes dreaming of blasting off to a far off land). When we work together, we'll break the cycles so you can get back to feeling in control of your life and find real joy again.

INTUITIVE, EMPOWERING, AND COMPASSIONATE

"I was always a bit skeptical of coaching, especially in a professional setting. Was this just another way to push me to work harder, or a safe space to learn and grow? Out of the gate Karin set the stage that coaching with her was a “create your own adventure" journey where I was given an invaluable navigator to help guide me and hold me accountable for making progress towards my goals both professionally and personally. As a young manager responsible for a large team and multiple projects, there were many things I needed coaching to unlock. Karin’s expertise helped me uncover solutions for managing my team and my personal life that came from me! She helped me realize that I had the answers to my own problems, and I could solve them in ways that worked for me fueled by simple and practical tools and resources that she provided. I highly recommend Karin for anyone, but especially if you are growing in your career and are trying to learn how to both be a leader and keep a grasp on your humanity."

Karin has been awesome. She is very knowledgeable and has a great approach that brings credibility to the conversation but in a very professional manner. She's provided insight to help see my blind spots and make the required changes. I find her extremely valuable and great to work with and look forward to continuing the journey.

Thank you Karin!! I wanted to let you know how impactful my time with you was - I really wasn't expecting to experience so much change in such a short amount of time. I feel happier, healthier, more awake, and a lot more productive and ambitious in my work. My sense of self has increased, and I'm relying less on other people's opinions to assess my value. I'm having crucial conversations all over the place and I'm in shock at how effective they are....and no one seems to hate me so far when I bring up difficult topics! A million thanks for your wisdom, kindness, and support!

Amazing sessions!
I am ecstatic recognizing how quickly I am making improvements on the things I said I wanted to prioritize and the best thing of all is how it's all happening without me realizing it until the changes and things I wanted to happen have already happened!

My coaching with Karin has been a multi-layered transformational journey. In the span of one year, we met for approximately ~16 hours and I have achieved significantly more than I thought would be possible which leads me to genuinely say the following: Coaching can help you achieve goals that previously felt out of reach and discover things about you (good or bad) that influence how you are as a person. Coaching will be most effective when you are prepared to be fully transparent and vulnerable. Coaching with Karin for me started to create significant and positive results when I realized that what I initially wanted to work on was caused by intrusive and belittling thoughts of how I perceived myself professionally.
Karin’s calmness creates a safe space that invites you to bring your authentic self. She never judges you for what you say, and she provides incredible insight through different perspectives that I had failed to see for myself. Because we spoke of different topics, I was able to improve in so many ways which has significantly improved my closest personal relationships and how I perceive myself in the company I work at. If you are thinking of starting your own transformation journey, look no further for help."

After several attempts with other people and nothing changed, I started working with Karin and then everything changed. I stopped taking on other people’s pain and stopped blaming myself. I will be forever grateful. Thank you Karin, your coaching was truly powerful.

Karin's coaching truly gave me a fresh perspective on different aspects of my life. She helped me identify long-standing challenges that I had been avoiding. One example is how to genuinely support my partner with empathy instead of immediately jumping into problem-solving mode. Karin also taught me how to demonstrate leadership in the workplace and helped me understand why I was consistently missing appointments.
Moreover, Karin provided me with various tools to effectively handle both personal and professional issues that came up. I am immensely grateful for her guidance. She is like a shepherd navigating you through a mountain, and I would highly recommend her coaching to anyone looking to live their truest expression of self.
