Hi! I’m Quinn Corte.
I’m a certified work + wellbeing coach, writer, and founder of The Retreat Space.
My work is an exploration of how to shine brightly without burning out.
Here are 6 things about me:
Over the last 10 years, I’ve unhooked from hustle culture and healed from burnout. I now enjoy my life and work. It’s my calling to help others do the same.
During the pandemic, I created The Retreat Space, collaborating with other teachers and healers to offer dozens of free live classes about self-care (many are still available here).
I’ve had a rich 17-year career working in art museums, and I am a part-time consulting project manager for the Met’s world-class fashion exhibitions (a.k.a. the art behind the Met gala).
I’m a certified Wayfinder Life Coach, and I trained with the legendary Martha Beck, who is a bestselling author, Harvard-trained sociologist, subversive wild woman, and Oprah’s life coach (no big deal). I’m also currently doing an advanced coach training with Tara Mohr so I can better help women work through fear and play bigger in their work and lives.
Through teaching and coaching, I show people how to find their natural rhythms, take care, uncover their desires, trust themselves, find their way, get unstuck, ask for more, change their work, take risks, and shine their light.
I believe everyone deserves to be well-rested, well-paid, and fulfilled, and I know it’s possible because I’m doing it. I want to help you do it, too.
