What do you do as a consultant/coach?
As CEO of Blooming Willow Coaching Institute, Healing Centered Coach, and trainer, I empower Changemakers to heal, transform, and thrive. I lead innovative programs blending coaching, healing, and education, while guiding individuals to realign with their aspirations and take purposeful action. Through coaching and training, I equip others to integrate healing into their practices, fostering resilience, empathy, and growth in those they serve.
What is your approach?Â
My approach is rooted in Healing Centered Coaching®, a transformative process that invites Changemakers to pause, reflect deeply, and realign with their core aspirations. This method empowers individuals to take purposeful, growth-oriented action while fostering both healing and transformation. I developed this approach through my own journey of overcoming burnout, where I discovered the profound impact coaching can have on addressing the unique challenges faced by those who lead and serve others. I am passionate about working with Changemakers—visionaries, leaders, and advocates—who are driven to create meaningful impact but often neglect their own well-being in the process. As the CEO of Blooming Willow Coaching Institute, I bring a compassionate yet challenging presence to my work, helping clients cultivate the empathy, resilience, and strategic insight they need to thrive.
How has your experience/background contributed to your work?
Early in my career, I worked as a capacity builder in Detroit, focusing on improving race relations within the city by fostering collaboration, understanding, and systemic change. This work laid the foundation for my later focus on nonprofit leadership and evaluation, where I guided organizations in strengthening their impact and effectiveness. After experiencing my own journey through burnout, I shifted my focus to coaching and training, using my lived experience to support Changemakers in navigating their challenges. Today, I empower leaders to heal, transform, and thrive by integrating reflection, resilience, and purposeful action into their personal and professional lives.
Relevant certifications or trainings
I am an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Accredited Master Certified Coach, the highest level of coaching mastery recognized by the ICF. In addition to this distinction, my organization is an ICF partner, authorized to grant ICF-accredited Coaching Certifications through our comprehensive coaching program. This dual role reflects my commitment to upholding the highest standards of coaching excellence while equipping others to achieve professional accreditation and make a meaningful impact as certified coaches.
