Key Values/Pillars
- “Yolteotl”- the Nahuatl word for the movements of a divine heart. Our clients are moving hearts. They have often been harmed or experienced a form of dissonance with a world that has refused some part of their identity. By seeing and hearing them, we yoke the heart open.
- Compassion – to fully acknowledge and witness the client’s circumstances, pain, and the pressures of colonization. The coach applies patience, wisdom, warmth, and resolve in the process of transforming that pain into passion.
- Liberation – to be free from the limitations and expectations we have taken on in society. We trust our client’s experience 110%, and we believe in 1 million other possibilities. Clients turn their personal narratives, family dreams, and societal expectations into a pulp that helps them reimagine a new narrative fit for authentic leadership.
- Remembering – We use Indigenous and modern mind-body-energy methodologies from multiple continents to apply movement to a diverse community who needs to remember who they are and find their place in the environment.
Values/Pillars Embodied
My values show up in all the work I do and how I engage with partners, clients, contractors, and allies. They define my engagement as a human being and as a liberatory leadership practitioner.
