Coaching

Helping you navigate obstacles to find fulfillment and live your best life

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a journey into finding fulfillment and meaning in your life. The dynamic relationship between coach and client explores and honors what matters to you to help you create a life of balance and purpose. Unlike traditional therapy, which centers on uncovering and understanding past traumas, coaching focuses on your present reality to help you achieve the future of your dreams. When clients also do the work necessary between sessions, growth, transformation and self-reliance are sure to follow.

Sophie Poukish
I reached out to Lori to help me launch my sustainable clothing brand and could not be more pleased with my decision! Since working with her, I have been so much more organized in my thoughts and actions due to her prompting questions and helpful words of encouragement. I come away from every meeting feeling so inspired and motivated to work through any barriers I see to my successes. Along with her beautiful spirit, she also brings with her an amazing amount of professionalism. Thank you, Lori!
Christine Janeway
I thank my lucky stars that Lori has come into my life. This year, I’ve experienced many challenges including divorce, single parenting, selling a home, and changes in responsibilities at work. With Lori in my corner, we’ve focused on finding what my true values are, and then practical ways to honor and highlight them in my life. Our sessions together allow me to feel focused on being my authentic self, which flows over into being more honest and present for my loved ones. I really believe that Lori was meant for coaching. Her demeanor is loving and bold, and she’s an amazing listener. She knows exactly what to tease out of our conversations to come up with creative ideas and activities that have given me profound inspiration and meaning in my life.
Lindsey Roberts
All of the coaching sessions with Lori are truly from a place of genuine interest and heart-felt intention to connect with clients. Her insights are spot on and always insightful, sparking a need for gentle, but needed change. Lots of 'aha' moments! Feeling immediately at ease, she made it seem like I was talking to my best friend with amazing insight vs. a coach with just some life skills to apply and a worksheet to fill out. Lori's mission is to empower women to be the very best version of themselves. Her decades of experience in the business world and overcoming health issues also means she's able to understand exactly what your challenges are, in your unique situation. She's on the path to doing exactly what her soul calls her to do and that is how you know she's just the person you need to speak with!
