Liza
As a coach, I am dedicated to connecting clients to their bodily intelligence and self-compassion, to awaken organic growth and change. I earned my MFA in acting, worked as a professional actor, founded and ran a theater company, and juggled many a side hustle in NYC before being drawn to coaching.
In the coaching (zoom) room, I rely on the empathy, deep listening, imagination, and playfulness I have cultivated as an actor. My experience as a spoken voice teacher gives me a unique ability to help clients tune-in to their bodily intuition and wisdom — unlocking possibilities, perspectives, and solutions not previously visible to them. Motherhood crystallized the importance of self-compassion for me, and I have become a spokeswoman for the freedom available through the journey of healing from perfectionism.
It is my privilege and joy to offer my clients the space to feel, breath, and voice their truth. To get in touch with where they are (the beautiful and the gritty), what’s important, what they want to move toward, and then helping them head that way.
For my ADHD clients, I listen with an ear for what in the client’s life may be showing up due to, impacted by, or filtered through their ADHD brains and bodies. I aim to share my knowledge of our unique brain wiring and bodily experience to help each client begin to understand themselves, their past and lived experience, and develop sustainable strategies and approaches that build on their strengths.
As your coach I believe :
You are whole.
You have all the tools you need.
That your ADHD brain and body can offer you super-powers, once you learn how to wield them.
That you can be more of you want to be and DO more of what you dream of when you kick the perfectionism/shame habit.
In your ability to grow, learn, forgive, and change.
In play and metaphor and the enormous intelligence our bodies possess.
In the freedom available if you’re willing to re-write your stories.
In the wisdom and clarity that can come from sitting in our discomfort.
In silence.
as your coach I promise to:
Stand up for you, to you.
Ask those tough questions that make you wish you’d never met me, but also very glad you did.
Share what I hear and see with loving, unvarnished honesty.
Offer scientifically grounded ADHD information, in digestible bites.*
Co-create strategies and tools to support your ADHD brain. *
Move at a pace and rhythm that work for you.
Bring mama bear love to our work - never shaming, but always fierce.
Expect your full buy-in.
*Many clients arrive to coaching hoping for some quick strategies to “optimize” their time and lives, or to learn all they can about ADHD.
While I am happy to offer resources and tools, the best “tip” or “trick” is the one that clicks for you. The one that sparks excitement and interest, and is, ultimately, adaptable and workable enough to last.
Similarly, because each person’s experience is so different, the best informational tidbits are those that unlock your understanding of yourself, your habits, your history. The ones that free you from a story of moral failing, or chronic, fixed challenges, and instead give you the ability to step back, and say “Oh! That’s just my ADHD brain again!” and work from there.
