Hey, I’m Kari.

and I am really glad you are here.

I’m a coach, facilitator & word witch who gets most excited when dreaming new worlds. In 1:1 sessions and in groups, I love getting a front row seat to the human experience.

With empathy, humor, wisdom and sass, I hold space for folks to process, plan and pivot when necessary as they seek a more authentic and vibrant life.

In 1:1 coaching sessions and in groups I hold space for the human element. I listen beyond words. I take people deep to seed forward movement.

I am currently coaching folks who are:

moving through transitions, change, grief, loss

seeking a more calibrated sense of wellbeing in the various aspects of their life

navigating the messy spaces of being human at work, at home, and out in the world

“I felt like an old candle that had sat forgotten on a shelf for years, frozen into the same lumpy awkward shape, dull with dust, but now here was the fire again, and I was softening and changing and finding I didn’t have to be that cold shape forever, and the wax was turning warm and bright again.”
