Safe Passage Coaching

The name Safe Passage honors the legacy of the Middle Passage—a history marked by unimaginable hardship and extraordinary resilience. I chose this name because your journey matters. Your story matters. And creating a path where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to lead authentically—that's what I'm here for.

I specialize in holistic, trauma-informed coaching for professionals and leaders—especially those from BIPOC and marginalized communities. My work centers those who have been historically underserved, but I welcome anyone seeking purposeful transformation and whole-person development.

Whether you're navigating a career pivot, stepping into executive leadership, or reclaiming your voice in spaces that haven't always honored it—I'm here to walk with you.

At Safe Passage Coaching, we believe transformation isn’t a luxury—it’s a birthright.
Rooted in a deep respect for history, culture, and the human journey, our work honors resilience and empowers individuals reclaiming their power today.

What Makes Safe Passage Different?

This isn't therapy—but it is deeply therapeutic.

I don't work from a script or a one-size-fits-all model. I work from presence, intuition, and a trauma-informed foundation that honors your full humanity. My approach integrates:

• Somatic Awareness: Your body holds wisdom your mind hasn't yet named. I help you reconnect with that embodied knowing.

• Relational Intelligence: Leadership isn't about managing tasks—it's about leading people. I strengthen your capacity for authentic connection, empathy, and influence.

• Trauma-Informed Practice: I create space where your nervous system can settle, where you're not performing or proving, where you can simply be—and become.

Every conversation honors where you've been, who you are now, and who you're becoming.

Our coaching is holistic, human-centered, and liberation-focused, supporting the whole person—mind, body, and spirit approach.

Three Pathways to Transformation

Leadership Development

Lead with clarity. Influence with integrity.

Leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about holding space for complexity, staying grounded in your values, and inspiring others through authentic presence.

In this work, you'll develop:

• Emotional Intelligence: Recognize how your emotions inform your decisions and impact your team

• Executive Presence: Command respect without performing dominance

• Strategic Vision: See the bigger picture while staying connected to your people

• Authentic Authority: Lead from your values, not from others' expectations

Ideal for: Emerging and established leaders, executives navigating organizational change, first-time managers stepping into authority, and leaders who want to create more inclusive, human-centered cultures.

Safe Passage Coaching blends strategic insight with embodied awareness, helping clients integrate their professional goals with personal wholeness.
Our approach includes three interconnected pathways:

Career growth isn't just about climbing the ladder—it's about building a professional life that reflects who you are and what you value. Whether you're navigating a transition, pursuing a promotion, or reimagining your entire path, I help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Together, we'll:

• Clarify Your Vision: Identify what fulfillment actually looks like for you

• Navigate Transitions: Whether it's a new role, industry shift, or entrepreneurial leap

• Build Your Strategy: Create actionable steps at honor both ambition and well-being

• Negotiate Your Worth: Advocate for yourself with confidence and clarity

Ideal for: Professionals considering career pivots, individuals preparing for promotions or negotiations, people feeling stuck or unfulfilled, and anyone ready to align their career with their authentic self.

We guide professionals through transitions, promotions, and pivots—aligning career goals with personal values and long-term vision.
Our process combines strategy and self-discovery, enabling clients to move forward with confidence, resilience, and renewed purpose.

Strengthen how you connect, communicate, and collaborate.

Leadership and career success don't exist in isolation—they're built on relationships. How you communicate, set boundaries, navigate conflict, and show up for others directly impacts your effectiveness and fulfillment.

This pathway focuses on:

• Authentic Communication: Say what you mean without compromising connection

• Healthy Boundaries: Honor yourself while staying in relationship with others

• Conflict Navigation: Move through disagreement with compassion and clarity

• Relational Intelligence: Understand the somatic and emotional layers of connection

Ideal for: Leaders working to improve team dynamics, professionals struggling with workplace relationships, individuals seeking to strengthen personal partnerships, and anyone wanting to lead with greater empathy and connection.

Because leadership and career growth don’t exist in isolation, we support clients in developing relational awareness and communication that fosters collaboration, empathy, and connection—at work and beyond.
This integration strengthens relationships and enhances your capacity to lead and live authentically.

Why Trauma-Informed Coaching Matters Now?

The workplace is experiencing a reckoning. Leaders are burning out. BIPOC professionals are leaving organizations that demand their excellence but don't honor their humanity. People are asking deeper questions about meaning, purpose, and sustainability.

Traditional coaching focuses on performance. I focus on wholeness. Because sustainable success isn't built on pushing through—it's built on integration, self-awareness, and the courage to lead from a grounded, authentic place.

If you're navigating spaces where you're consistently the 'only,' where code-switching is survival, where your leadership is questioned before it's even witnessed—this work is for you. If you're carrying generational weight, workplace trauma, or the exhaustion of being exceptional just to be considered equal—this work is for you.

You don't need another mentor telling you to lean in. You need someone who understands that your liberation isn't about fitting into existing systems—it's about leading in a way that transforms them.

This isn’t an add-on—it’s our foundation. Every coaching relationship is built on dignity, compassion, and respect for your lived experience.

I offer three interconnected pathways, each designed to support your whole person—mind, body, and spirit:

Leadership Development: Lead with clarity, influence with integrity. Cultivate the emotional intelligence, executive presence, and authentic power to lead in complex environments—without losing yourself in the process.

Career Transformation: Align your work with your worth. Navigate transitions, promotions, and pivots with a roadmap that honors both your strategic goals and your personal values.

Relational Well-being: Strengthen how you connect, communicate, and collaborate. Because great leadership doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in relationship.
