Our 6 Week Heart Renewal Experience is designed for professional women navigating life transitions and sensing that something is shifting. This is a space to slow down, listen more deeply to your heart, and be supported in community as you discern what is wanting to emerge next in your life.
This experience is especially beneficial for women navigating career and relationship transitions.
A community of women who see you, support you, and walk beside you
Evidence informed practices to help you stay grounded and present
A guided experience to help you reflect, gain clarity, and navigate change
For women navigating life transitions and stepping into what’s next
This first week is about creating community, setting intention, and learning how to meet uncertainty with presence. As we begin, participants are invited to pause, reflect, and notice what is shifting in their lives, even if the path ahead is not yet fully clear.
Through guided reflection and shared conversation, we explore what it means to stand at a threshold of change, honor the uncertainty of this season, and listen for what may be emerging next.
In this second week, we learn tools and practices to support us in staying present with uncertainty and the discomfort that often arises when life is shifting and the path ahead is not yet clear. As change unfolds, it is natural to encounter resistance, fear, tension, and the impulse to retreat to what feels familiar.
This week invites participants into a deeper encounter with that resistance while developing practical ways to remain present. Through reflection and conversation, we begin to notice what feels uncomfortable, what may be surfacing beneath the surface, and how to stay grounded as we face what is unknown or unfamiliar.
This week is about grounding ourselves as we navigate uncertainty. Together, we begin developing practices that help us slow down, become still, and stay present with the uncertainty in our lives as it is.
This session explores how practices such as mindfulness, meditation, prayer, silence, and Indigenous wisdom traditions can help us feel more stabilized, grounded, and present. They also support deeper discernment, helping us listen more carefully for what is emerging and what may be calling us forward in this season of change.
This week, we begin a guided visioning process to get clearer on what may be next in your life. Through guided prompts, journaling, reflection, and small group conversation, participants are invited to turn inward and explore possible next steps.
You are not expected to have all the answers. This week is about opening space for possibility and beginning to give language to what you are sensing.
This week is about turning vision into direction. Building on what surfaced in the previous session, participants begin organizing their thoughts, identifying priorities, and shaping a practical plan for the changes they want to make.
Whether the focus is career, relationships, health and wellbeing, lifestyle, or another major transition, this session helps participants move from reflection into greater clarity about what they want and what steps can begin supporting that change.
This final week is about reviewing what has emerged over the course of the journey and beginning to integrate what you have learned. Together, we reflect on the insights, practices, and shifts that have taken shape, while considering how to carry them forward into everyday life.
We also focus on sustaining the changes you want to make. Participants are supported in identifying the practices, structures, and support systems that will help them stay grounded, intentional, and aligned as they move forward.
This session offers space to consolidate the journey, honor what has changed, and move forward with clarity and intention.
Whether you’re curled up at home or traveling across the world, there’s a circle waiting for you. Pour a cup of tea and join us for a time of connection, reflection, and renewal.

This offering is where organizational wellness meets measurable, lasting results. We care deeply about the work we do—and about the people and organizations we serve. That’s why we intentionally track progress and evaluate the effectiveness of every engagement. Using a range of assessment tools and feedback methods, we measure growth over time—not just in performance metrics, but in the overall health, well-being, and cohesion of teams.
The most meaningful indicator of success? When individuals and organizations feel stronger, more connected, and more aligned with their mission. Our goal is always sustainable transformation—not surface-level change.
This offering supports leaders and teams in cultivating a more intentional, balanced relationship with technology. Using a mindfulness-based approach, we help individuals engage with digital tools in ways that reduce stress, prevent burnout, and foster presence. With a doctoral concentration in media technology and innovation, Dr. Thulani DeMarsay brings a deep understanding of how technology shapes modern work and well-being. She has led technology initiatives across mid-sized and large organizations to help them better serve their mission—while also witnessing firsthand how constant digital engagement can lead to overload and disconnection.
Through this work, we guide teams in rethinking their digital habits, using tech more mindfully, and creating a culture of clarity, focus, and purpose.
We see energy and flow as essential for sustainable, effective leadership—and for how individuals show up in every aspect of life. This offering is grounded in the science of flow by Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and the research of Dr. Jim Loehr, co-author of The Power of Full Engagement. It’s inspired by the idea of the “corporate athlete,” acknowledging that today’s leaders often work long hours with increasing demands, yet struggle to maintain energy and focus over time.
Combining insights from elite athletics and human performance science, we offer practical tools to assess personal energy, recover effectively from extended effort, and create the conditions for deep flow. Leaders gain strategies to stay clear, grounded, and resilient—no matter what the pace of life requires.
Led by certified integrative health coaches, this offering provides personalized, holistic support to nourish the body, restore vitality, and sustain high energy levels. Rooted in the principle of bio-individuality, we partner with individuals and teams to co-create nutrition and lifestyle plans tailored to their unique needs and leadership goals. It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about cultivating the energy, mental clarity, and resilience needed to lead with presence, focus, and strength.
This offering provides individualized support designed to meet each person or team exactly where they are. We begin with a guided visioning process to clarify your desired outcomes and long-term goals. From there, we work collaboratively to co-create a personalized wellness plan that supports your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Whether in one-on-one sessions or group settings, our coaching is rooted in a holistic, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique path.
The result is sustainable growth and meaningful change aligned with what matters most to you.
our approach to Stress Resilience and Emotional Mastery empowers individuals to stay grounded and clear-headed even in the most demanding situations. Participants learn to regulate their nervous systems, manage emotional triggers, and cultivate presence under pressure. Through mindfulness-based practices and science-backed techniques, we guide people to transform stress into strength—fostering calm, confident decision-making, emotional intelligence, and a deeper sense of inner stability.
This offering is ideal for teams and leaders who thrive in fast-paced environments but seek tools to prevent burnout and sustain well-being.

I created this space for women moving through seasons of transition and renewal, especially those sensing that life is asking something new of them. Whether navigating changes in career, relationships, identity, or purpose, many women find themselves standing at a threshold, listening for what comes next. My Heart Renewal was inspired by my own journey through transition and by the profound power of sisterhood, reflection, and community during times of change.
Professionally, I’ve spent nearly 30 years as an organization development consultant and leadership coach, working at the intersection of change management, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and organizational effectiveness. I also support leaders in developing a contemplative practice. My doctoral research focused on contemplative leadership and how mindfulness, meditation, silence, yoga, and other practices strengthen resilience, especially during times of disruption and change. As a retreat facilitator, I’m deeply passionate about guiding individual and group transformation. I’m especially devoted to contemplative leadership and walking alongside women and leaders who are navigating important life transitions.
