Welcome!
Are you:
Longing to feel heard, supported, nurtured, and empowered,
Experiencing a change, transition, or challenge,
Feeling a little (or a lot) unclear, stuck, or overwhelmed.
Looking for someone to help you navigate this messy, marvelous business of being human with a little more confidence, joy, and intention?
You are in the right place.
And you don’t have to go it alone. In our coaching sessions, I hold space for you, ask thoughtful questions, draw from my repertoire of coaching tools, and help you identify small steps that will lead to big change.
I’m here to help!
We can’t always think ourselves through; sometimes, we have to go deeper and tap into other ways of knowing. My holistic coaching tools help you tap into intuitive, mental, somatic, and spiritual ways of knowing. I find that when we integrate these structures of consciousness, powerful shifts happen.
My name is Dorothy...
I live on the North Shore of Lake Superior. I dwell in symbol and narrative, dig conversation, weave community, and love helping others find more fulfilling ways of doing and being in the world!
Knitting, kneading, composting, and collaging are some of my favorite hobbies...or metaphors! Water and trees are two of the most important re-occurring symbols in my life.
In my coaching work, I support clients’ transition and growth drawing on training from Wisdom of the Whole Coaching Academy; a BA in Anthropology, Sociology, and Religion from Kalamazoo College; an MA in Sustainability from Arizona State University; and experience guiding wilderness retreats, leading women’s spirituality groups, teaching sustainability, brokering real estate transactions, working in (and leaving) corporate settings, and running small businesses.
Roots and Waves synthesizes insight and experience of over a decade. I am thrilled to offer a safe and supportive landing place to dig deep, weave meaning, grieve, celebrate, and tap into your innate wisdom so you can navigate what lies ahead with a little more clarity, confidence, and joy.
