Coaching

Welcome!

I’m not like other coaches.

I don’t have a glossy, live-your-best-life sales page with professional headshots of me (not my style), I don’t market on social media (I’m too greedy with my time), and I can’t give you an elevator pitch about what kind of coach I am (I would rather have a deep talk). Instead, I’m letting go of the pressure to fit in and giving myself permission to just…be myself. That means doing business in a way that brings me the most joy and ease.

That’s the kind of coach I am. I actually walk my talk.

I help my clients to find new ways of “doing business” that allow them to be themselves. I support them in breaking free from pressure and discovering their own sources of joy and ease. And, I encourage my clients to approach life with the light-hearted spirit of experimentation and play. I believe we’re all constantly evolving, and treating life as an experiment makes us freer and bolder to try new things.

For example, I coach because I’m great at it and it makes me feel alive—not because I want to impress people. So, to keep my coaching practice interesting and fun, I treat it like an experiment instead of a super-serious business that’s set in stone. I love to dream up new creations, offer new ways of coaching, explore what works best for me and my clients, adjust, and innovate.

So, on this always-changing page, you’ll find what I’m currently trying out in my business. If you don’t see exactly the right offering but want to work with me, sign up for a curiosity chat and let’s create something new together! Or, if you love what you see and are ready to start a powerful coaching experience, schedule a chat so we can get started.

Ditch the grind.

Come to life.

Here’s the deal…

We live and work in broken, harmful systems. Systems that deny our humanity and want us to stay overwhelmed, exhausted, and beat-down. Those in power don’t want us to have space or energy to dream of a better life—a better world. They only want us to produce and perform.

I believe our mission is to challenge oppressive systems, unwind the pressure within, and actually enjoy life.

When there’s less nonsense and urgency swirling around, you find space again—for you. You start to hear the wisdom of the earth, the body, and the soul. It tells you what to leave behind and what direction to go. By following your inner guidance, you can discover your needs, your magic, and your truth. 

YOU are not broken or failing. You know exactly who you are and what you want. You just need help clearing the fog from your head and the rocks from your path. 

When you learn to tune in to yourself, your unique path starts to light up. Your compass can show you how to become your most wild, magical, badass self; help change the world; AND meet your (very real) material needs.

When you hire me, I won’t be another voice in your head telling you who you should be. I’ll give you the tools to listen to your body, find your own answers, and stand on solid ground. I’ll be a mirror, reflecting back your bravest truths and most dazzling self. I’ll help you unravel the stories that hold you back so you can discover the thrill of what’s next. 

Now more than ever, the world needs you to do your thing. 

I would LOVE to guide you there.

Hi! I’m Quinn (she/her). I’m a coach, writer, and teacher who helps people weave their dreams into reality.

Unhooking from grind culture has taken me from a burned out, overwhelmed people-pleaser to someone who makes choices based on the guidance of my soul and body. I no longer say “yes” to draining demands that take me away from my bliss. Instead, I have slowly and joyfully created a life I’m in love with, doing work that fills me with inspiration and purpose.

For five years, I’ve been creating classes, resources, and a monthly newsletter here at The Retreat Space. My work is rooted in the care and liberation of all beings.

I’m now stepping into my calling to become a life coach and dreamweaving guide. By early 2025, I will be a nationally accredited and certified life coach, after intensive training with Martha Beck (Oprah’s life coach and one of my greatest teachers). Prior to this formal training, I had a 16-year career in art museum leadership, where I’ve mentored dozens of colleagues through work transitions, negotiations, and burnout recovery—and organized hundreds of exhibitions (including two Met Gala fashion exhibitions).

I’m a highly sensitive empath who’s an expert in emotions and self-care (Cancer Moon), a fiery trailblazer and preacher of what’s real (Sag Sun), and I’m here to shine my light and help others shine theirs (Leo Rising).

I live in Boston and spend several weeks a year in Asheville, where my inner woodland creek fairy gets to run free. I’m married to my love and partner-in-crime, Neal. I come from an amazing creative family and have a magical group of soul sisters who support me through thick and thin. When I’m not coaching, I’m either dancing around the house, filling legal pads with my “deep” thoughts, or cooking (while dancing). And even though I’m 41 years old, I also adore time-bendy sci-fi, spy action thrillers, and cheesy fantasy novels.
