Hi, I’m Casey

Coaching is a sacred art form to me. I’ve trained in multiple modalities to cultivate my own unique style. My main areas of focus have been somatic work, shadow work, archetypal work and IFS. What I do is not talk therapy, goal setting, vision board projections or mantra repetition. This is depth work, guiding you to re-discover parts that have held potential. Finding the rightness in the unwanted behavior, addressing unmet needs and allowing then nervous system to un-burden and flow freely.

I started on this path as a recreation therapist 20 years ago. Learning from incredible people with major disabilities who saw life through a different lens, it sparked an insatiable curiosity in me around how people process life. My clients had spinal cord injuries and they’d found their way back to biking, fishing, playing basketball, skiing and most profoundly a sense of joy and fulfillment. They had unlocked something and they knew how to soak up the joy in life. I was blown away, and realized I had a lot to learn.

I also spent 10 years working in a Level 1 Trauma center as an ICU RN. Its was a powerful experience, yet I knew I hadn’t yet found the work my soul was calling me to do. Once I found Master level coaches and sunk into groups I knew I had found the missing puzzle piece. Coaching allows me to enter into scared spaces with people in a way that resonates deeply.

However, I had to find my way to this work through my own dark night/ despair.. It was during a troubling time in my life…I was lost, depressed, isolated and disconnected for myself and the world around me. An event helped turn my life upside down and for the first time I couldn’t bullshit myself. I looked at myself head on and started to see all the ways Id been abandoning my true self. And it was evident I was spiraling into deeper levels of chaos. I got extremely honest for the first time in my life. At the time I couldn’t imagine there could be a place for the authentic me in this world. My relationships were a mess, I suppressed my feelings and I had no clear vision/goal for my life.

I luckily found a couple master coaches who challenged me to really see myself and I dug deep into re-discovery work for years… I grew and expanded into parts of myself I had forgotten were there. One day It became clear that this depth work was absolutely my calling. Today I can say I’m living an aligned life and I’m passionate about this work.

I believe you are innately called to growth as a human. With proper support and guidance, you are extremely capable of meeting, understanding and overcoming what’s been holding you back.
