"Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
- James Baldwin
I offer a group coaching program called Reclaiming Us that focuses on cultivating a collective space for reflection and witnessing.
I facilitate retreats, team meetings, and leadership development trainings that are rooted in relationship and bring about results.
I coach those who seek to amplify their power, voice, and choice towards greater love and truth.
I worked with Ja Young for 18 months near the end of my tenure as Executive Director of Voice of Witness. Her embodied wisdom, deep presence, and perceptive guidance set her apart from the very beginning. In our first conversation alone, she helped me access insights about myself and my leadership that I had never fully seen before. Those discoveries became the foundation for a rich and transformative coaching journey.

Ja Young is magic earth-side. She has the capacity to create a space of liberation for those who sit on the margins and whisper to them their potential for play and joy; that they have internal capacity to imagine and reach for possibility. And she does this is an accessible, humorous, and still very cerebral way.

Ja Young has helped me focus on what others need from me and guided me through deep work that has helped me trust myself, learn to do my best, and form habits that make my job possible and sustainable. I am so honored and fortunate to have Ja Young as a thought partner and friend, and I can’t overstate how much her invaluable coaching means to me.
