Professional Coaching

Support for those who support others

As a yoga teacher, therapist, or practitioner, the work you do matters deeply. Holding space for others also means you need support, reflection, and guidance for yourself. Professional coaching with Keri Sawyer provides steady, practical, and understanding mentorship to help you grow your skills, sustain your practice, and expand your impact—while staying aligned with trauma-sensitive values.

Whether you are new, seasoned in your field, or seeking to refresh your work, professional coaching provides space to learn, reflect, and grow with guidance and support.

Professional coaching is designed to meet you where you are, offering both practical tools and supportive reflection. Key benefits can include:

Deepening connection with students and clients → Learn how to foster trust, safety, and authenticity in interaction.
Refining facilitation skills → Explore the use of invitational language, pacing, and presence to create supportive, choice-centered spaces.

Navigating challenges with support → Bring real-life questions and obstacles into a collaborative coaching space where solutions are explored together.
