Meet us in the River
What does coaching look like?
At Wild River, I offer coaching services aimed at shifting your reflective understanding and empowering you to make meaningful changes in your work. This approach is rooted in supporting you through a 6-9+ week cycle of collaborative thinking, reflective practice, goal setting, and strategic visioning where you can explore new perspectives and push into your areas of challenge & discomfort (where we grow!).
​My background in early childhood education, educational coaching, and the holistic approach of immersive, nature-based education can orient our shared work in your practice. All of our conversations together will be informed by a liberatory, justice-oriented, and transformative lens to practicing education. We aim to stretch and challenge ourselves to embody abolitionist, de-colonial, and radical imagination in our work.
ECHO Certified
This lens is the unique overlap of the benefits and challenges of outdoor education and the early development of young learners.

Early Childhood Health Outcomes is a part of the National Wildlife Foundation, and they partnered with the Colorado Department of Early Education to provide Relationship Based Professional Development Coaching to train ECE professionals in Nature-Based Coaching for Early Educators.
Relationship-Based
RBPD Coaching is anchored in centering connection. Coaching is designed to identify your goals and support you in a cyclical process of continual growth. This work is relational, and we honor that no growth is done in a vaccuum.
Reflective Practice
Training in Reflective Supervision and Coaching means that sessions are built collaboratively, with a strengths-based approach.
​
We can set each session with your capacity, goals, and current challenges, meeting you where you are each time.
​
We challenge that our our worth is tied to our productivity, and make intentional time to bring our full selves into the space.
Radical Imagining in Coaching
“Transform yourself to transform the world.”-Grace Lee Boggs.
Our coaching is centered in creating a radical and justice-oriented space to reflect on your practice and grow as an educator, caregiver, or community leader.
​
We are committed to providing a brave community and inclusive space for you to explore and challenge yourself in areas of discomfort & growth.
​
By cultivating liberated relationships - relationships built on equality, respect, and freedom - we can create a society where everyone has access to the necessary care, attention, and connection to feel a sense of belonging, dignity, and safety within their community, essentially achieving abundant justice for all.
