About Abby

Hi! 

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

Over the last several years I've journeyed through the nonprofit, graduate school, marketing and writing worlds to get to where I am today. All of these experiences led me to becoming a Personal Growth Coach - where I walk alongside others as they fully realize and embrace who they were created to be. 

I learned about the importance of self-care after burning out and realizing how I had zero boundaries in my life. Understanding that self-care isn't selfish and it’s about loving your neighbor as yourself rather than in spite of yourself revolutionized my life. 

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 ever seen for personal growth. I identify as a type 2. 

I grasped the importance of creating healthy culture at organizations when 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 deeply love people and relationships. I've always said one of my dream jobs would be to just get together with people over coffee every day and talk about life. Being a coach basically lets me do that! 

I've always been a writer. Words are how I make sense of the world and after not writing for awhile I notice I don't breathe as deep. It's one of my #1 self-care tools. 

I believe we are all created with the stamp of the Creator God on us and I long to see justice roll down for all people. 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.

All of these areas melded together and led me to start my own business. I get to meet with individuals and work with organizations to help people understand themselves better and take steps to cultivating health and wholeness in their life. I'm honored to be a part of other's journey.

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, writing, 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!
