Gently guiding you to unblock the path in front of you and make your career dreams come true!
Just as elite athletes perform best with the aid of a good coach, professionals seeking career growth need a skilled and supportive coach to guide them to their full potential.
In one-on-one coaching sessions, you’ll experience empathetic support as you explore the career you most want to pursue, opportunities to bounce around ideas and a safe space to identify what’s holding you back.
If you’re open to them, we’ll use powerful embodied approaches to access your intuition and body wisdom to align your work with what matters most to you, along with action steps you want to take to turn your dream into reality.
Body-based coaching methods not only inspire powerful insight, they employ your body’s own intelligence to transform automatic patterns and free you to chose what makes you come alive

If you’re willing, I’ll guide you in gentle exercises to engage your embodied imagination, such as visualization that asks you to pay attention to the specific sensations in different parts of your body.
I may ask you to recall a particular memory or picture an imagined future and become aware of what your body is experiencing as you do so.
Powerful and often subtle bodily sensations enable us to experience what we may already know about what matters most to us. With this intuition, felt sense and embodied intelligence, we come to experience what a firm “No” feels like, how a full-body “Yes” feels and when we encounter something in between, a “Maybe.” These are just a couple of examples.

“Eleanor’s coaching was instrumental to my career growth. I shared about organizational culture and workplace challenges. She offered insight and practical suggestions — always with a sense of humor.
Working with Eleanor helped me gain confidence to stretch beyond my comfort and reach for my goals.”
