Bring self-compassion practice to life with personalized 1:1 support.
Develop and deepen an authentic practice in self-compassion.
Many of us spend time and energy devoted to caring for others: through our professions, in our relationships, in our roles with families and friends.
It is important to remember that we, too, are deserving of our own time, attention and care.
Self-compassion is the art and science of treating yourself like a good friend.
We offer a range of empirically-supported practices and tools as well as deeply personalized guidance to custom-fit a self-compassion practice for you and your life.

- Softening self-criticism

What do coaching sessions look like?
In each session we ask you what you’d like to focus on that day. This might include: space to talk through a challenge, surface new insights, exploring a feeling with more compassion, incorporate a mindfulness or compassion exercise, or identifying practical steps to explore in the coming week. These are examples – we are most anchored to what you need in each session, in service of your long term goals, and how we can help or support you.
