Rewrite your story
We all come to thresholds, to moments of choice, but we cannot always take the steps that are needed.
When we can’t move past something, it’s usually not because we don’t know any better. We are perfectly aware of what we should change and why. We know exactly how we should go about it. We even know the source of the problem.
And yet we still don’t seem to be able to do things differently.
We get stuck, and cannot overcome the obstacles in our path. We falter, in limbo, and don’t know what else to try. Why aren’t things progressing?
The answer lies in the stories that we tell ourselves.
I help you to uncover your limiting narratives, and to experiment with new stories, and new ways of being.
What is wild woman coaching?
Narrative coaching, my starting point, invites the telling of personal stories, windows through which to examine deeper, held narratives. I also weave in my knowledge of literary traditions, as these inherited collective stories offer a fertile shared field, rich with symbolism, which can reflect issues in our own lives, allowing us to come at them in indirect ways. As well as the practical outcome-focused skills I have perfected over many years as a teacher and manager, I also invite you to use creative visualisation, drama, serious play, mindfulness and the breath.
What I offer is a unique integration of the spiritual and the pragmatic; the mind and the body. I couple humour and kindness with a direct, sometimes challenging, invitation for you to explore your blocks, your fears, and use them as the material for growth.
How I work
I listen to your stories gently. Together we look at them in new ways, and give them space to breathe and teach. They often reveal old habits and patterns that are hindering your progress, and can be released, as you search for and step out on a new path.
I often use traditional tarot cards, or invite you to use your own creative or imaginative expression during the coaching process, as well as somatic exercises, to help you access your unconscious mind and connect to your body.
Coaching usually takes place in a virtual room with interactive tools. You can enjoy being at home, where you feel comfortable, and where the online environment allows for flexibility of time and location. All you need is an internet connection.
Why tarot?
Tarot has a deep symbolism and speaks to all of us in different ways - it is a map of the things we can’t voice. The cards clients pick during coaching usually help them to make unexpected or profound connections. The characters you meet in the cards may have a message for you!
My approach is guided by the symbolism of the Fool card.
It is the first card of the tarot and represents new beginnings and the possibilities that come with a new cycle. The Fool is open-minded and optimistic, ready to embark on the path before him. Curious and hopeful, he sets out to discover whatever comes his way, with faith that all will be well.
This is how I see the coaching journey.
Together we will explore your narrative and introduce practical tools to set you on your chosen path - a path that you can walk full of hope, curiosity and self-belief.

What my clients say
Today, I am writing my stories more attentively, in the moment. Thanks to my work with Jinpa, I am tending to the "what now" of my own narrative.
Working with Jinpa has been the highlight of my week for the months I have worked with her. When the session ends, I can feel the places I have grown. It is a time where I am reminded to be there for myself, to play and to explore. She has such a beautiful way of finding the spaces and mediums I work best in, and then, from there, moves me along in that space until I am ready to open to something different. I so appreciate the gentle way she pushes and the creativity and inspiration we find together when we go exploring. m
She makes a sanctuary in between where I am, in California, and where she is in her world. I walk in and I know it is my space. She asks me to decorate it as I like, and I DO! She appreciates the décor no matter what because she is curious, because she so genuinely cares. We can be thousands of miles apart in space and in palate, but I know she truly has appreciation for what she is supporting me to create. I know I can count on being held and challenged simultaneously in this space, and I could not ask for more.

Her warm and compassionate demeanor makes her a joy to work with
Jinpa has been instrumental in helping me navigate through some of the most challenging times in my life. When I first started working with her, I was struggling with my identity, what I really wanted out of life, and feeling stuck in my love and professional life. After working with Jinpa, I began to re-shift my mindset and see positive changes in all of these areas.
Jinpa is truly gifted in her ability to listen, understand, and provide practical guidance that has helped me to build confidence, improve my relationships, and navigate family dynamics with greater ease. Her supportive and non-judgmental approach has been a safe haven for me as I work through my issues and move ahead in life with purpose and direction.
I would highly recommend Jinpa to anyone looking for support and guidance in navigating through personal and professional challenges. She is intuitive and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. . I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders after each of our conversations and I am truly myself and found again. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life, and I know she can have the same impact on others!

JINPA HELPED US MOVE FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION AT LIGHTNING SPEED
Unbelievably, in just one individual session with Jinpa, she was able to help me refine my questions, locate and dig into a new core belief about myself, and try on some new ways of embodying it. Working with Jinpa in a couples context was equally fruitful - we learned a ton about our relationship, but sessions never just ended with talking. We left every appointment with homework that that helped us try new ways of relating in the weeks between sessions.

a brilliant coach for anyone who can usually out-think their peers or previous coaches!
I have worked with Jinpa for over a year. Over the last 30 years I have visited a variety of different therapists and tried several different practises to address anxiety, self-esteem and general life issues; working with Jinpa has given me the most noticeable shift to my life. Jinpa has an uncanny ability to get to the issue quickly and kindly and then work in the right way for me to be able to address it and make the necessary changes in either view or in behaviour. I'm quite creative so Jinpa sets visual tasks to 'embed' the discussions from the sessions.
Jinpa creates a warm, open, proactive and positive coaching environment to work in; there is laughter and a few tears but she is the first person I have worked with who I felt really 'got me'. She is professional, well read, super smart and has a lightning fast mind!
I finally feel in the right place to be in the relationship that I have always wanted and hopeful to look to a future that I have envisaged for myself. I like that I can pick up again with Jinpa when I am struggling with an issue, be it work, love, friendships, family or parenting and can get that nudge in the right direction.

life goals that have felt very out of reach for me in the past, no longer do.
As someone who keeps their cards close to their chest, opening up and putting my thoughts and experiences into words has always been a challenge. Jinpa’s approach allows me to feel safe and comfortable—helping me to identify patterns and blockers in my life. She has provided me with tools to not only strengthen my own self-confidence, but also strengthen my relationships.
Jinpa has worked with me on sensitive topics related to alternative relationship structures and sexuality that I haven’t felt comfortable talking about with others. There’s a deep feeling of understanding when talking with Jinpa that allows me to freely explore my thoughts. She also has a way of helping you feel less alone in the stories you’re discussing. It’s truly helped me grow as a person and I’m forever grateful for her wisdom and kindness."
Megan L. USA
She guided me towards a better understanding of my personality and triggers, and helped me access some of my deeper feelings.
I was going through some challenging times in my life and, after overcoming some personal stigmas, I decided to seek some additional support. Unfortunately, I had a couple of brief and disappointing experiences with other therapists/coaches that didn't inspire much hope in me.
However, everything changed when I met Jinpa, who came highly recommended by a friend. Jinpa has been a game-changer. She is kind, caring, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and adaptable.
My approach to life is very logic-based and process-oriented, and I'm not the kind of person who easily connects with my emotional or spiritual side. This was not a problem for Jinpa, who adapted her coaching to my needs and took me where I wanted to go step-by-step.
I now feel more open, aware, comfortable and confident in my relationships with the people close to me. It's an understatement to say that Jinpa had a positive impact on my life, and I will be forever grateful that our paths crossed.
