About Gage:
There are many ways I can describe myself.
The more straightforward ways include: Woman. Daughter. Sister. Friend. Professional coach and mentor. Facilitator. Lifelong learner. Gardener. Weekend Artist.
Then, there are the more colorful, authentic-feeling ways I can describe myself: Soul-Centered Coach. Animist. Dream Worker. Artist of Life.
My path to where I am today has been a long and winding one, not at all clear cut or linear, as I once thought paths were supposed to be.
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rilke’s words have been a great reminder that the path - even if I cannot see it - is always there, always emerging. They have helped me to slow down and ‘live everything’ now,

The reason that I coach today is twofold:
One, when I’m coaching another human, I feel on purpose, doing some of the most meaningful work I can think of. I feel I’m getting to be part of helping other humans become who and what they uniquely are.
The second reason I coach is that it’s my way of paying it forward. I wouldn’t be where I am today were it not for all the coaches, mentors, teachers, elders, and guides who have shared their time, attention, loving honesty, and fierce compassion with me. These people have helped me get out of my way (more times than I can count) while also being truly inspiring examples of what’s possible.
Part of what I admire most about these humans has been their willingness to be vulnerable, real, and deeply rooted in service, passing on what they have received. It’s my hope and prayer to be able to do the same through my work.
