Hi, I'm Lori.
​
Mother.
Moon gazer.
Blueberry lover.
Energy channeler.
Integral Master Coach.
​​​​
I’m passionate about helping anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated mothers come home to their calm.
So they can parent their teenagers and young adult children with steadiness and confidence. And build or rebuild their connection.
​
​
​​Because I was that mother.
I was nervous, over-protective, demanding and explosive. Sure, I presented a good façade out in public but, on the inside, I was just trying to stay afloat.
Believe me, I’ve seen the look on my child’s face when I’ve yelled something utterly unforgivable. I’ve caught myself behaving more like my mother than the woman I’d worked to become. I’ve been to the harrowing edge of almost losing my teenager. And for years, I laid awake thinking I was screwing up the greatest privilege of my life.
The truth I had to face was that there was a disconnection between me and my kids, an uneasy distance across which my love for them wasn’t getting through. The pain I felt told me I had to change how I was parenting.
​​​​​​
​
My Path to Here
​​
My thirst for self-understanding has taken me down many roads, including qigong, ecstatic dance, mentoring by Indigenous Elders, workshops, shamanic ceremonies and breathwork.
​
These practices gave me a way to explore the parts of me that are prone to anxiousness and gradually led me to experience the deep calm of my soul, a radiant core that I learned to draw upon for steadiness in the tense moments of parenting (and all my life, really).
​
​The more I could see and accept myself, the more I could see and accept my kids as they really are and walk alongside these two amazing souls. ​
Of course, I still get triggered sometimes and mess up. But one thing I’m certain about is that focusing on my self-development was the best gift I've ever given them.
​
So I created this path for other overwhelmed moms.
I've spent years weaving together my coaching mastery, intuitive gifts and earthly wisdom and creating a light-filled space in which moms quieten their anxiousness and cultivate the steadiness they need to build a close connection with their big kid.
As an Integral Master Coach™, I embody a deep capacity to see what's tripping you up and what's ready to be developed in you now.

My approach honors all of you – body, mind, heart and soul – and guides you all the way from gaining insights to putting them into action in your daily life.
And as an experienced energy channeler, I receive information from a your spirit guides that supports the change you've set into motion. Whatever your faith (I believe they all point us toward love and oneness), I direct the light to release the worrying and overreacting, and clear the way for your grounded way of parenting to emerge.​​​​​​​​​​

I'm a Peacemaker, Enneagram Type 9.
I've had silver hair since my 30’s.
​I grew up on a cattle ranch in a town called Horsefly. Really.
I work with high school students on the side - it keeps me connected to their reality.​​​​
My Invitation to You
​​
If this feels like it might be what you need right now to finally stop anxiety from driving your parenting, I invite you to a complimentary chemistry call to get a taste of my coaching.
You can tell me a bit about what's got you looking for a guide and I'll help you gain some insight and traction on it. ​That's it. No obligation and no sales pitch.
​
And if we discover that we'd be a good fit to work more in depth together, it would be my privilege to guide you into a new relationship with yourself and your big kid.​
