One-on-One Coaching

At your pace, in your time.

Finding My Way Home is for women finding their next steps after trauma, illness, loss, or a major life transition.

We'll create a safe enough space where you can be seen with kindness. A place where there is room for whatever is here — from grief and sadness to happiness and joy.

“The places in which we are seen and heard are holy places. They remind us of our value as human beings. They give us the strength to go on.”

— Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., of blessed memory

What may happen in a session?

You’ll be met with kind attention. There’s nothing to fix. Healing is about reconnecting to who we already are.

As trust grows between us, so can a sense of safety. Everything I offer is trauma-informed and offered with care to avoid overwhelm or re-traumatization. From there, you can share what feels ready, at your pace, in your time.

You are always in choice of your experience and can choose to pause, share what you’re feeling, or adapt any part of the practice — including the language or the way it is offered — to meet your needs.

We may begin with an intention. Not a goal to reach, but a way of being you’d like to move toward, such as steadiness or more kindness with yourself. And if you’re not sure yet, that’s OK too.

That’s where we begin.

What guides our work together?

In our sessions, I draw on mindful awareness and the science of healing, including Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, and Inner Compassion. These can help you understand how your nervous system finds its way to safety, and help you meet yourself with the kindness you’d offer a dear friend.

“Being truly heard by Esther releases the built-up steam in my life. Even on the days I feel 'I don't need this,' her humanity and uniquely skilled guidance help me find more compassion for myself — and I'm discovering a more fully integrated sense of self-awareness, understanding, and acceptance.”
— Kathy, coaching client

🌱 I invite you to begin with a free conversation. It's a relaxed half hour for us to meet, for you to ask any questions you have, and to see whether working together feels like a fit. There's nothing to prepare and no obligation. If you prefer to write, send me an email.
