  • Isabela Pante

    “Gabe is incredibly intuitive, a wonderful listener, and a natural coach. His value-centered guidance challenged me to think and reflect beyond the career I want, but more importantly, how I want to live. The sensations I feel after each session are subtle and deep - leaving me with a feeling of courage and motivation to explore, dream, and take control over my life. Gabe has been an invaluable asset to my Quarter-Life Crisis journey and has reminded me that there is beauty in the breakdown.”

  • Ryan Kelley

    “This was my first experience working with a coach to try to figure out how to be more productive, solve business problems, and have a work/ life balance. Without a doubt, this is one of the best things I have ever done to learn to better myself. I am truly amazed at the breakthroughs I experience on each call with Gabe.”

  • Jo Tic

    “Gabe’s coaching approach doesn’t help you stay the course; it gives you the confidence to steer the ship. Working with Gabe gives you actionable next steps towards your true north, and he holds you accountable to moving forward in your journey.”

    “Gabe’s coaching has been truly helpful since we started working together. He offers an invaluable perspective and encourages to break down topics to better resolve them.”

  • Fiona Gorrie

    “I wasn’t sure what to expect of our meeting and left it with a sense of peace regarding where I was at, and some very helpful suggestions about how to precede forward - that I wouldn’t have come upon, on my own.”

I work with clients via 3 different options:

  1. Text-based coaching – includes a monthly strategy session and text message check-ins + recommendations each week to create accountability to reach your goals ($7/week)

  2. Micro coaching call – a quick, highly-focused session to address a specific topic ($25 for a 15 minute call)

  3. Hourly coaching engagement: $80/hour* for a Burnout/Quarter-Life Crisis/Career focus

  4. Hourly coaching engagement: $110/hour* for a leadership focus

Hourly coaching begins with a free exploratory call, where we discuss what you want coaching on, align on the right structure, and give you a taste of what coaching is like.
