Salal, LLC helps clients thrive through coaching, workshops, and retreats – all drawing on mindfulness, breathwork, and creative expression, coupled with ontological coaching practices. Ontological coaching, if you are not familiar with it, is a holistic coaching methodology leveraging a combination of linguistic, emotional, and somatic domains to foster transformation.

What is Salal?

“Salal” is an evergreen shrub native to the coastal Western United States and known for its abundance and versatility. It was used extensively by the indigenous people in the area for culinary and medicinal purposes.  For many, the plant symbolizes physical, mental, and spiritual health. For me, it was the perfect business name evoking the vitality I aspire to both for myself and my clients.
