Why we walk, talk, and gather.

ABOUT US

We find deep joy in helping people connect with what matters—what stirs the heart, grounds the spirit, and brings meaning to the moment. Across many backgrounds—as coaches, creatives, performers, and community-builders—we’ve witnessed how intentional conversation can open space for clarity, inspiration, and forward movement.

Travel & Talk brings these experiences together to create spaces for reflection and exploration. Whether through Walk & Talk sessions along the coast, retreats, Table Talk gatherings, or virtual coaching, we offer a range of ways to pause, tune in, and move toward what’s next with more intention.

Like a good song or work of art, our work is guided by two principles: to honestly express what’s present, and to make space for others to find their own meaning within it. Our hope is that Travel & Talk gives you a way in—a way through, a way around, a way forward—whatever path you’re on.

Life is a journey. We hope to be part of yours!

Founder & Coach

I love Life Coaching’s focus on a present situation or issue and its capacity for offering company related to action and change. Years of working with individuals as a Licensed Psychotherapist in Washington State have enriched my ability to meet clients as a Life Coach with a Here-and-Now approach to walking in this world.

I believe that in this particular time and world, walking and talking wherever you are can be a profoundly encouraging and  helpful experience. I look forward to bringing on Coaches in more locations.

As someone who’s done gig and  Service Industry work, and Crisis work on the streets of Toronto Canada, and as a longtime songwriter and performer, I have a deep love for facilitating connection and meaning making. Travel and Talk brings together my own passion for creating beauty out of difficulty and connecting your dreams and hopes via meaningful conversation. 

I continue to write and perform music, take road trips with my family, run with my dogs, and love being in, on or beside the Sea.
