Expect a stress-free easy conversation where I’ll ask you questions to figure out where you are and where you’d like to be.
I will offer you tools to get you some immediate relief and then I’ll let you know if you’re a good fit for my program.
And if I don’t think I’m the right coach for you, I will find you one that is.
I know you’re tired and stressed and have no patience for wasting time.
By the end of our call you will be on your way to feeling better.

At the core of my coaching is thought work, meaning that we work on the thoughts that create the emotions and behaviors that lead to our experience of our lives. We work together to redesign your mindset to match the life you want.
This is NOT affirmations and power poses. This is deep lasting change.
I layer in intersectional feminist principles to help you see the part that the patriarchy is playing in how you feel. Then we change what we can so we’re better equipped to manage the things we can’t. Yet.
And then I sprinkle in some behavioral psychology to tackle habit change.

I earned my certification as a life coach through from the world’s top training institution, The Life Coach School, studying under its famed founder, Brook Castillo, followed by an Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching under intersectional coaching guru and leader of the feminist mindset revolution, Kara Loewentheil of Unfuck Your Brain.
On the traditional education side, I’ve taken extensive gender and ethic studies courses along with earning my MBA at UC Berkeley.
I’ve also run an organization for women in tech and been mentoring women for the past two decades.

There are lots of different types of coaches but I can share my experience of what it’s like to work with a mindset coach.
When we’re working 1:1, we’re really just sitting on the virtual coach together getting curious about what your brain is telling you is true about the world.
We keep the stuff that we like and we evolve the thinking that is no longer serving us into something that is.
Check out the video below to learn more about how working with a coach 1:1 absolutely changed my life (and how I wish I hadn’t waited until I burned out to do it.)

What others have to say…
“Gretchen understands the value she can bring to the challenges you’re experiencing. She pushed me to make measurable progress. I was in my own way and she taught me how to take a new approach to change the outcome.”
— Leah BK.
“My one-on-one coaching helped me gain insight into what I had been telling myself about my goals that kept me stuck. The work on over-analyzing and second guessing really resonated with me. The approach and tools she introduced enabled me to move forward. Invaluable experience!”
— Heidi H.
“I've noticed such a positive change in all areas of my life - situations that previously would have overwhelmed me are totally manageable now. I'm less anxious (fewer Sunday Scaries), more clear-headed, and able to be more productive both inside and outside of work. I'm so glad I took the leap and worked with Gretchen!”
— Leah Km.
“I needed the mindset work Gretchen specializes in to help me understand what it is I really, truly wanted, and how to set up my life to accomplish it. It was about digging deep, understanding my true self and beliefs, and then working through that to both set goals that truly fit with what I wanted and to be able to recognize the mental blockers that were holding me back, along with the tools to overcome those blockers.”
— robin D.
“Gretchen is serious badassery no matter what realm we are discussing. She brings her full self to the table - from hustling startup co-founder/COO/creative maven and to her very real human experiences as a woman who rose out of a trailer park. Her honesty, humor, and brilliance shine through in her coaching that we are all blessed to have. She will challenge and encourage you while you’ll feel as though you’re hanging out with your best girlfriends!”
— tina s.
“The way that Gretchen deftly weaves in her feminist studies into her mindset work is both unique and invaluable. She helped me uncover a lot of patriarchal ideas I would have sworn I didn’t have so that I could look at them in the light of day. It was this awareness that allowed me to start making changes that have massively lowered my anxiety and helped me be more present in my daily life.”
