Meet your growth guide and strategic partner, Tina.
In my coaching relationships I pull from systems thinking, relational dynamics, personal growth and deep spiritual connection. I'm here to support you to focus your energy where it will create the greatest impact–in your own life and the lives of others.
Together, we'll define what clarity, growth, and alignment mean to you. We'll uncover more of your authentic self– by leveraging your natural strengths and honoring your values. We will design a way of being in work and in life that naturally combats burnout through alignment to purpose and brings joy to all of the complexities of life.
Through executive coaching, leadership development workshops, and strategic process improvement, I help leaders focus their time and energy where it matters most. My approach combines intuitive insight with practical frameworks, transforming overwhelming complexity into clear, actionable direction.
I promise to see your potential clearly, challenge you with compassion, and help you lead your best work while creating the conditions for others to do the same.
Certifications & Experience
-
I have a BA in Political Science from UC Davis and an MA from San Francisco State, with an emphasis on Post-Modern Political Theory. Little did I know when I fell in love with Political Science, how relevant it would be supporting organizational systems change, learning and integrating Spiral Dynamics, and understanding the metacrisis we are currently collectively navigating.
-
I worked for fifteen years in the Insurance Industry, doing process improvement (Lean and Six Sigma), strategic project management, and internal consulting. Once leaving the insurance industry, I co-founded Open Aware and the Holon Institute. Keep scrolling on this page to learn more about both of those organizations.
-
I am an insatiable learner and love to dive deep into the things that I am pursuing personally and professionally. Through that journey, I have become a certified Yoga instructor and Stand-up Paddleboarding Yoga Instructor, a ThetaHealer®, Reiki Practitioner, Professional Coach and Energy Leadership Master Practitioner. These tools provide the basis for my coaching practice (some more so than others!)
-
Through all of this I’ve learned that systems, whether they’re organizational, biological, spiritual, or political, are all here to remind us of our deep interconnection to each other. When we flip our paradigm to see that everything is connected, the ability to make empowered change exponentiates.
Open Aware
My partner Trace Bell and I created Open Aware to inspire and support individuals and organizations in their journey of expansion and integration. Our site offers a self-paced courses, downloadable AI prompts for personal growth, and a high-level overview of our perspective on the Spiral Dynamics model. We would love to bring one of our transformational offerings to your group or team to support your collective journey of growth and integration.
The Holon Institute
The Holon Institute is a nonprofit that Trace and I co-founded along with Joel Fariss and Chris Everett. Holon is designed to support individuals and organizations in discovering and embodying emergent ways of being. Through experiential gatherings, research, and strategic advisory, we help restore connection to self, others, nature, and mystery—in service to a livable planet and the evolution of human civilization.
Sick of people?
Let’s talk to your pet instead.
Fun fact, I’m also an animal communicator. I give your beloved four-legged family member a voice. I help you deepen your connection with your pets and better understand their wishes — from the practical to the profound.
Our pets have such a natural connection to love, wisdom, and the joy of being alive and they want to share that readily with us. Communicating with them is one of many ways that they get to let us know how much they truly are our soul companions.
