About Abby

Hi! 

I'm Abby and I'm so glad you're here. 

I’ve done many jobs over the years, but my favorite jobs always include teaching and relationship building. Creating a business where I provide coaching, workshops, and spiritual direction has allowed me to use my gifts in a way that feels fulfilling to me and (from what clients have said) helpful to others.

I've always loved any and all personality tests, but I fell in love with the Enneagram when I experienced its transformational power in my own life. It's the best tool I've seen for personal growth. I identify as a type 2. 

I grasped the importance of self-care and creating healthy culture at organizations when I experienced burnout after working in the nonprofit sector. I did my thesis on creating cultures of self-care at nonprofit organizations. Stress, burn out and exhaustion don't have to characterize the good work we do and we must acknowledge the systemic problems that permeate our workplaces.

I’m inspired by the words of Lilla Watson, “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” I do this work not simply to “help”, but because our liberation is bound together. We as individuals and our world cannot be whole while injustice prevails. 

I am a white, cis woman and I acknowledge what privileges these bring to my life. For a long time I just wanted to be seen as good and right, but I saw how that left me too silent about the things that truly matter. I am committed to anti-racism, speaking out, checking my privileges, and fighting against supremacy culture.

When I'm not doing this business thing, you can find me spending time with my family, trying to create the perfect playlist, enjoying my home in the PNW, getting lost in one to two books at a time, listening to some kind of podcast or re-watching another episode of Parks and Rec. 

I would love to hear from you - don't hesitate to reach out!
