Most executive and life coaching programs focus on what you can and should do differently.
This isn’t about doing. The Ontological Experience reveals who you’re being—and why. 

Because that’s where transformation begins.

OUR WORK

Change starts with your way of being.

Being stuck isn’t a failure. You’re not broken, and you don’t need to be fixed.

You’ve just been taught that happiness and success mean expecting and collecting more, more, more, endless growth, incessant doing, muscling through the things that make you feel disconnected.

I’m coming from a different place. And I can introduce you to a different way.

Ontological coaching helps you understand the observer you are—how you see and perceive your world—so you can make new choices that put you on a different path.

I’m a Newfield Certified Ontological Coach, working with clients from different backgrounds and with different goals for more than 25 years. My purpose is to inspire others to greater self-awareness, clarity, and understanding of themselves, the starting place for all professional and personal growth, and the driver for better doing and results in life.

My goal is to get you unstuck—to help you feel empowered to design the life you want.

OUR FRAMEWORK & TOOLS

How we help you learn and grow

THE ONTOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK

What has you stuck isn’t out there. It’s inside.

Everything you do, everything you feel, grows out of your way of being. Emotions. Ideas. Actions and reactions. So if you’re stuck, challenged, or suffering, the sustainable way forward is in shifting your way of being.

That’s the ontological framework: An approach to coaching that walks you through seeing and understanding your full, authentic self, helping you become a better observer of the observer you are, so you can make choices that take you where you want to go.

OUR OFFER

How we work together

After decades of executive coaching, the Ontological Experience is a shift toward teaching and coaching anyone who wants to become more self-aware, who wants to be a better communicator and who wants a stronger, healthier, less critical relationship with themselves and others.

I work with people who want to be more impactful leaders, more attuned partners and parents, as well as more joyful and satisfied as individuals. I also work with people who simply feel stuck, exhausted, confused, incomplete, and at the mercy of people and things they can’t control.

Ontological coaching isn’t about work or success or leveling up in any of the ways modern culture defines it. It’s about being you—the complete you, a fulfilled and clear-eyed you.

So it meets you exactly how and where you are, to show you how to see and navigate your world, the world, differently.

Our emotions are a bodily response to something going on for us, and thus there is often great wisdom to be found in them if we take the time to look and explore. 
In my work with teams, giving and receiving feedback is a critical step in the process of building trust.

OUR COLLABORATION

Let's work together.

Clarity isn’t about asking “What do I need to do differently?”
It’s about asking who you need to be or become. The Ontological Experience shows you how and where to find answers.
