Supporting Whole-Person Growth in Life, Leadership, Career, and Relationships
At Safe Passage Coaching, we believe human transformation are not luxury— It's our birthright. Rooted in the legacy of the Middle Passage, our work honors the resilience of those who endured unimaginable hardship and uplifts those reclaiming their power today.
We walk alongside leaders, professionals, and couples—especially from BIPOC and marginalized communities—as they navigate life’s most meaningful transitions. Whether stepping into leadership, seeking deeper connection, or aligning life with purpose, we meet you where you are—with dignity, clarity, and compassion.
Our coaching is holistic, human-centered, and liberation-focused. We support the whole person—mind, heart, and spirit—through four core pathways:
While not therapy, our coaching is profoundly therapeutic in how it creates safety, fosters transformation, and honors the whole person. We recognize that many clients carry stories shaped by adversity, oppression, or emotional wounding—and we partner with you from a place compassion, not correction.
Core principles of our trauma-informed approach include:
This isn’t a layer we apply—it’s the foundation we build from. Our trauma-informed, liberation-centered lens shapes every conversation, every question, and every step of the journey. It’s what makes our coaching not only effective, but culturally attuned, and powerfully transformative.
Empowering professionals to lead boldly, live authentically, and make a meaningful difference—in their lives, their relationships, and the world around them.

Coaching Relationship: Coaching is voluntary and the agenda is driven by your personal and professional interests and goals. You can expect your coach to encourage and support you as you explore possibilities and to engage you by asking powerful questions, sharing observations, and providing a safe, supportive space for discussion and collaboration. Your coach will count on you to be committed to your personal and professional development, open to accepting feedback, and willing to challenge current beliefs. You should also make time to complete agreed upon coaching and career development activities between sessions.
