As a coach, Melinda's main goal is to help clients trust themselves.

Melinda works with clients to assist them in distilling their own priorities, values, and voices from those of everyone around them in order to step more fully and authentically into their whole selves.

As a coach, Melinda supports people in identifying the ways that their self-doubt shows up and sabotages them, assists them in developing tools that help dismantle the lies of self-doubt and uncover the ways in which they can cultivate and strengthen their self-trust.

Melinda's coaching approach is informed by her formal coaching and social work education, 15+ year mindfulness practice, her own ongoing healing process and the healing processes of the many brilliant, amazing women she's been blessed to share space with over the years.

As your coach, Melinda will ask you questions more than she will give answers and will center your time together on uncovering truths that may currently be blocked or unclear to you. Together, you will co-create a space that allows you to step into your full self and leave with tools that you can use immediately and repeatedly in your life.

If this type of support sounds like it would be beneficial to you, please reach out.

What coaching services do you provide?

I provide individual and group coaching, primarily to professional women. Through inquiry, introspection, dream opening and awareness cultivation, we'll work together to create a plan for your path forward.

What services do you provide in addition to coaching?

I am certified in administering the Leadership Circle Profile assessment, DiSC and MBTI assessments. Additionally, I have been a professional trainer/facilitator for over 20 years, and provide leadership development workshops, including Mindfulness and Managing Stress, Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace and Peer Learning Circles.

What is your coaching philosophy?

I help overachievers remember that their worth surpasses their ability to achieve.

What interests or excites you about coaching women lawyers?

I am absolutely energized by supporting high achieving women, as these women are often the supporters and are not necessarily used to being supported. I find that despite amazing accomplishments personally and professionally, many women still struggle with trusting themselves. I find that working with women to help them trust themselves more is truly the gift that keeps on giving as it allows women to show up more fully and authentically themselves.
