How I work — my code of ethics

The following is my personal commitment to the people I work with. It isn't a legal document. It's a statement of how I hold this work.

Confidentiality. What you share with me stays with me. Nothing said in our sessions is repeated, written about, or referenced outside the coaching relationship without your explicit permission.

Scope of practice. I am a coach, not a therapist, counselor, or medical provider. I will be clear with you when something I'm hearing calls for support I'm not qualified to provide, and I will help you find the right resource when that's the case.

Non-judgment. You will not be evaluated, ranked, or pathologized in our work. My job is to listen carefully and reflect honestly — not to assess whether you are doing life "correctly."

Honoring autonomy. The answers in our work are yours, not mine. I will offer perspectives, ask questions, and share resources, but the decisions and direction of your life are always your own.

Accessibility. No one is turned away from this practice for financial reasons. The exchange must be real — that's part of the work — but I am committed to finding a structure that fits the person in front of me whenever I can.

Continued learning. I have studied with many teachers across many traditions, and I continue to study. I will not pretend to know what I don't know, and I will keep doing my own work so that I can show up well for yours.

Boundaries between coaching and other relationships. I do not enter into business partnerships, romantic relationships, or other dual relationships with active coaching clients. My role is to be of service to you in this specific way, and keeping that role clear protects the integrity of the work.

The lineages I draw from. My approach is shaped by years of training in Kriya Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, the InnerTuning system at the Chakra Institute under Shamji, and the Center for Transformational Coaching. I name these because I believe in honoring the teachers and traditions that have shaped me — and because I believe you deserve to know where my perspectives come from.
