Restorative Coaching

…for burned out achievers

Restorative coaching is an invitation for high achievers who want to shift from burnout to rebalanced energy.

Shout out to ‘burned out achievers!’

I’m Heidi and, as an ACC-certified professional coach and administrative leader, I support exhausted, high achievers to rebalance the constant ‘doing’ with a more conscious way of ‘being.’

My philosophy and approach have a theoretical and experiential foundation in personal development, energy leadership, intercultural studies, and diverse restorative practices.

As a coach, I offer an open, non-judgmental space for you to explore restorative practices based in holistic wellness and reconnection to intention as a foundation for your life goals.

I support you to realize your goals with a greater sense of purpose and a deeper connection to what matters to you.

Why are we burned out? Maybe because, like me, you’ve spent the last several years:

  • Meeting all the marks and then some at home and work without breaking a (visible) sweat.

  • Navigating increasing financial pressures while striving to create more financial breathing room.

  • Leveling up your career alongside tweens & teens at home and a more active role in the lives of your parents.

  • And suddenly, now our hips and knees hurt!

All of this during very uncertain and challenging times!

If any of this resonates,

then, this is an invitation to rebalance the ‘doing’ with more intentional ‘being’ through restorative coaching.

Restorative Experiences

  • "If you are looking for fundamental insights and sustainable changes that happened in a deeply supported and enjoyable approach, Heidi is the only coach you should work with. I have been coached by Heidi for three sessions so far, covering challenging life choices, emotional drawbacks, and seeking a way forward. Heidi has a talent to connect with me not only on the surface but also deeply in heart and energy level, which makes her presence so influential in every session, and grants her the incredible ability to shed light to the thoughts and emotions I might have buried. I move forward with confidence and excitement in my life progress thanks to her inspiring coaching style, and the genuine unwavering support. If you feel you are stuck at a certain point of life, no matter what challenges you are encountering, I would recommend Heidi to you wholeheartedly."

  • "I was at an inflection point in my career where I was being offered two opportunities. One was moving up the corporate ladder, with a chance for a big promotion, and long hours. The other had no chance for promotion, but offered a re-location with significant benefits to the family. Through our 12 sessions, Heidi helped me understand the conflicting values, and to sort through priorities driving the decision and ways to mitigate the negatives. It was incredibly helpful to have someone like Heidi to help focus the conversation and to challenge my assumptions. I couldn't be happier with the path I've chosen."

  • "Heidi is a very thoughtful coach, professional, passionate, creative. I really felt at ease and safe in all the sessions with her. She has a welcoming approach and has encouraged me to see things from different perspectives, picking up on words I used in our sessions that brought gently to self-reflection. She also guided me to find a path forward, identifying actionable items. I truly enjoy working with Heidi because I feel I have a direction at the end of our sessions."

    Cinzia B.

  • "My experience with Coach Heidi V was transformational! From the moment we met in a discovery call to 10 sessions later, Heidi's energy was infectious. She skillfully and seamlessly guided my inner discovery to find my own landing spot in my journey to uncover my needs and desires for re-careering. Heidi excels in empowering questions towards self-exploration by gently looking within so I could look out and up. Heidi's skill in uncovering my own inner wisdom has re-ignited my own energy to embrace next steps!"

  • Heidi's intuitive and compassionate nature along with her ability to balance careful listening with insights and great questions was a perfect fit for me. Our sessions opened up valuable new perspectives and left me feeling refreshed and energized. She doesn't just focus on fixing what's wrong, but takes time to pause, acknowledge and reflect on my strengths and what's going well. Working with Heidi increased my self-confidence and I was able to move forward with my goals in a calmer purposeful way.

  • "I have had a few coaching sessions with Heidi. She does an amazing job of holding space for me and asking questions that really help me to see the big picture. After our sessions, I always feel that a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders."
