WHAT I OFFER AS A COACH

I coach creatives who are done playing small.

You're not stuck because you lack talent or ambition. You're stuck because somewhere along the way you started building your career around what other people needed from you instead of what you actually wanted.

That's a slow way to lose yourself. And a hard thing to name when you're in the middle of it.

This is where we start. We work on the beliefs that have been running quietly underneath your decisions. The ones telling you to play it safe, wait until you're ready or shrink a little so you don't take up too much space.

The work is figuring out what you actually want ,and what's been quietly getting in the way of it.

ABOUT COACHING

Coaching is a focused partnership built to move you forward. Together, We work on how you think, what you believe, and the patterns you've been running on autopilot. The goal is to get you out of your own way so you can make clearer decisions, take bolder action, and stop second-guessing yourself at every turn.

The result isn't just clarity and momentum. It's knowing your own mind well enough to trust it.

My training includes Martha Beck's Wayfinder Coach Training, ICF accredited, and a 400 hour meditation and mindfulness teacher certification

Sound Familiar?

  • Your eye for detail makes you shine, but it also drags you into overthinking, self-doubt, and that impossible push to be perfect. Every move feels like a test, like one slip could blow it all up.

  • Bold ideas get reshaped to fit someone else’s comfort zone. Pushback, red tape, and dilution sap your energy and leave you feeling stuck.

  • The pace, the pressure, the never-offline hustle—it’s unsustainable. What once lit you up now drains you. You’re ambitious, but craving a rhythm that nourishes rather than burns.

  • On the surface, deadlines get met and projects get delivered—but behind the facade, your inbox is overflowing, tasks are piling up, and everything feels chaotic. Your energy, creativity, and joy are on the line, and something’s got to give.

  • our brain is nonlinear, associative, alive with ideas. But when there’s no framework to hold it all, things slip. Deadlines and projects pile up. The challenge isn’t you,it’s how you’re carrying it.

  • You want to fit in, excel, and be recognized—but imposter syndrome rears its head. In  career that often value perfection and precision, you wonder if you’ll ever measure up.

  • You know how to deliver when everything’s on fire. But when your baseline becomes urgency, your system never gets to stand down.

  • Years of adjusting to other people’s expectations have made your inner compass go quiet.
    You want to get back to trusting your own voice and backing your own choices and decisions.

  • It’s the loss of stability, identity, routine, and belonging. Even if it was expected, the moment still lands raw.  Between heartbreak and hope, the next steps can feel unclear and unsteady.

  • You’re caught between panic and possibility—holding onto what feels familiar while wondering how, or if, you should evolve. The stakes are high, and the uncertainty can be exhausting.

  • You’re done shrinking to fit expectations—but stepping onto your own path or putting yourself out there feels risky. What if you fail? What if you look foolish? That inner critic is loud and has a way of quietly stopping you from taking action.

What Past Clients Say

  • I was in the throes of drastically changing my career when I started working with Esther. As a strategist and planner, I had to get comfortable with walking into the unknown. Within the first session, Esther helped me reveal that I was really struggling with a lack of trust in myself, which was preventing me from taking necessary steps forward into building my new business and desired lifestyle changes. Within 6 short weeks through supportive yet probing questions, an experienced and realistic ear, and always a warm and empathetic space, my whole belief system in myself shifted, which in turn gave me much needed clarity to move forward with tough decisions. Esther’s approach allowed me to look at deeper core beliefs I’ve been quietly holding, discuss them in therapy, and create breakthroughs that I am excited to see play out in my business today. I highly recommend working with Esther, as she understands the demands of high level creative careers, whilst also remarkably finding such grace and balance in her approach.

    Storme, CCO​

  • Esther  uses her compassion, intelligence, and heart to shine light on your Saboteurs. She holds a mirror and helps you see and overcome your subconscious programming that doesn’t serve you.I felt so heard in my sessions with Esther. She gave me her complete attention and used her introspection to help me see the patterns in my behavior that were no longer serving me. Esther asked all the right questions to help bring me awareness. My sessions with Esther brought me clarity. Once I knew what wasn’t working for me, I was able to change those behaviors, attitudes, and thought patterns into more positive ones that helped me step into the empowered person that I always wanted to become.

     

    Lana K

  • I was paired with Esther through the Coaching Collaborative for individuals who lost jobs due to USAID’s dismantling. From our first meeting, Esther treated me as a thought partner, listening deeply, asking powerful open-ended questions, and helping me make sense of a challenging situation. She didn’t offer prescriptive advice; instead, she introduced thoughtful frameworks that helped me reflect on what energized me, what weighed me down, and how I was approaching my job search. Through our work together, I gained clarity on my emotional state, identified what I truly wanted in my next role, and developed a more focused, strategic job search approach. Esther’s ability to create space for insight (excavation) while gently guiding you forward is rare. She brings a blend of empathy, structure, and wisdom that sets her apart. If you’re navigating a challenging career crossroads, I can’t recommend Esther highly enough. She is one of the best in the field.

    Sylvain

  • Working with Esther has been an absolute game-changer in my career transition from fashion to skincare. Navigating the shift while balancing both industries brought a lot of anxiety, but she provided the guidance, tools, and support I needed to manage it all in a healthy, sustainable way. She asked the right questions, challenged me to reframe my mindset, and equipped me with practical strategies to stay calm and focused. Beyond career support, she helped me cultivate a better work-life balance, which has been truly transformative. Her professionalism, calm presence, and intuitive approach make her an incredible coach—working with her has been a true gift, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Her rare combination of emotional intelligence, sharp insight, and deep empathy makes her an exceptional coach. She knows what questions to ask to help you figure how you truly feel about something and what might be blocking you, and then provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence. Esther not only helps you see the path to achieve your goals, but empowers you every step of the way.
