What’s holding you back is the key to moving forward.

Stop avoiding sticky issues and start getting curious – so you can design the life you love. 

You know that more is possible. But how do you connect with the wisest part of yourself, shed limiting beliefs and re-align with what feels genuinely like yours? That’s what coaching is all about.

Being heard and being challenged by someone who wants the absolute best for you is exhilarating. It also brings lasting change.

You keep finding yourself stuck –
and it’s time to make a change.

Something isn’t right – and you can feel it.

Does this resonate?

  • You know there’s much more waiting for you—but you aren’t sure how to make it a reality.

  • You feel frustrated by a situation—at work, in family, with friends or creative projects–but nothing seems to change.

  • You sense a powerful potential inside you, if only you knew how to harness it.

  • You’re standing at a threshold. But you don’t know which way to turn—or why.

  • Life is asking you to change – but instead of stepping forward, you’re avoiding it.

“Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”

what clients say

“Joelle reflected back what I was saying with clarity, and followed up with questions that helped to open up things and felt supportive. To put things into a container but give it order or structure is really helpful. It helps me see things, slow them down and give me real direction.” - Julia, architect

“Joelle really helped me step back from the cliff I was standing on. She stayed in the moment with me, and gave me space to go through what I was going through, and gave direction in bite size, manageable pieces. I appreciate it!” - Anna Cantor, mom / artist

“Joelle made me feel very at ease. She has a kind, gentle, playful way. She has a method and plan, but is not rigid. Because she’s a great listener, she takes what I say into account and incorporates it into the work as she goes. Bravo!” - Elke Dehner, marketing director

About Joelle

Certified Professional CoActive Coach (CPCC) – in progress

“Joelle is a deep listener. I felt very held by her coaching. Her capacity to articulate the reflection in an astute way made me feel very seen and re-framed. It was potent. The way she worked on threading safety and harmony in to our session was beautiful. I liked being interrupted!” - Gabrielle Epstein-Casper, therapist

What coaching did for me

I came to coaching organically.

I worked in publishing, and as a book coach, in New York for more than 20 years. Along the way I became a yoga teacher and a spiritual practitioner.

More and more, I noticed what moved the needle with clients was not just my editorial experience, but my ability to hold space, ask good questions and offer well timed insights.

Turns out, this is called coaching. 

I first worked with Tara Mohr, author of the inspiring book, Playing Big, and fell in love with the method of Co-Active coaching. 

Coaching guides us to the best answers, for us, in this moment. It’s a flexible, powerful model that incorporates the spaciousness of spiritual intelligence with self-reflection and risk taking that brings real growth. It is full of heart, it’s practical, and it often surprises–in the best way.

Coaching has helped my clients have more confidence, more breakthroughs, and more success.

And that’s what I bring to you: my listening, my questions, and my love of dancing in this moment so the magic of your best life can unfold.

I’m a poet and writer, too, which you can read more about here.


“Joelle possesses a deeply intuitive wisdom. Her coaching helps tease out what's important and what you need to get rid of in your life.  Her poetic sensibilities allow her to have instant insight into your life’s patterns, symbols and metaphors. I was struggling with a repeating negative relationship in my life. Joelle guided me toward clarity and focus about how to process and move forward.” - Suzie Ungerlieder, singer/songwriter

“Joelle’s a thoughtful, smart, wise, and talented coach. She helped me see that what I thought had been a terrible meeting with my estranged sister was actually productive: I had followed through on my plan, been kind and thoughtful, and made my needs known. When I heard Joelle’s reframe it felt accurate instantly. I went from feeling awful to feeling good and even strong, which helped me take the best next action. I could not have gotten to that understanding without her help. She led me with conviction, kindness, and even humor to a new sense of myself. The change feels transformational and lasting. ” - Debra, writer/editor
