Wayfinding Partners works to awaken our natural capacities for healing and liberation — from the individual level, to the collective, and the systemic.
As skilled facilitators, trainers, consultants, and coaches, we can support your transformation journey in multiple ways. Whether you need to:
Gain a deeper understanding, awareness, and appreciation of structural oppression
Hold internal conversations with team members at different points of their own work in embodying liberatory concepts
Develop strategies for beginning or deepening organizational change work
Conduct individual or organizational racial equity assessments
We got you.
Strategy & Culture Consulting
As consultants, we operate at the evolving intersections of organization development, racial equity, and wellbeing. We partner with you to develop strategies that are adaptive, grounded in your values, and fueled by an inclusive culture. We believe that the world around us is not static, so our strategies shouldn’t be either.
Beyond simply writing plans that sit on shelves, we focus on authentic relationship-building between your organization’s leadership, board, and staff, and nurturing collective alignment to organizational vision and values.
Our processes include a customized blend of strategic planning, culture transformation work, change management, coaching, and team-building, all of which lead to an authentic, co-designed organizational shift.
We also ensure that you are building internal leadership capacity at all levels to manage the unexpected and to make wise strategic choices in real-time.

Healing & Wellbeing Toward Liberation
Wayfinding Partners is a growing community of healing and wellbeing professionals who draw from an array of disciplines and lineages, including: transformational coaching, psychology and counseling, decolonial and critical race wellness theories, fine arts, mindful meditation, yoga, and energy healing modalities such as Reiki.
At Wayfinding Partners, we understand that the work of being well is a lifelong individual and collective journey. We believe that this is a journey worth taking, because it brings us closer to natural states of liberation. With mindfulness as our method, we do our healing and wellbeing work where the personal meets the professional, with the goal of arriving at experiences of change that leave us all feeling freer, more connected, and more whole than when we began.
-
Anyone — at any level, in any organization — who is ready and open to being well and to lean into a healthy, thriving self
-
Healing and wellbeing offerings factor into all of our partnerships to some extent, and can also be pursued independently from our broader engagements. These offerings depend on who you are and your unique needs, but can include:
Intuitive energy healing sessions
Wellbeing workshops, retreats, and cohort experiences
Personality or Leadership assessments in service of personal wellbeing journeys. Wayfinding Partners is licensed to administer the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, FIRO-B, the IDI, and other personal growth assessments.
Individual & Team Coaching
Wayfinding Partners offers coaching that is rooted in our steadfast adherence to mindful practice, and our ever-evolving approach to the pursuit of liberation. We provide a non-judgmental and safe environment to identify and pursue clear visions for a better future.
The Wayfinding coaching model is about cultivating personal metamorphosis—-together, coach and coachee tap into intuition, to design for greater alignment with a future we can’t quite see but know is there.
Our work tends to begin with questions of where (where are you now, where would you like to be, how can you get there) and arrive at questions of who (who do you want to become, present outward, and nurture). Coachees explore how they might pursue the healthiest versions of themselves—versions that are connected to their sense of purpose, community, and lineage.
-
Individuals and groups at any stage of professional development, eager to move through moments of change, pursue personal goals, and manifest freer versions of themselves.
-
Coaching session topics may include but are not exclusive to:
One-time or ongoing space to navigate an organization-wide DEIJ journey, build interpersonal relationships, and pursue goal-oriented racial equity work
Individualized coaching on the themes related to personal and professional development, potentially coupled with assessments such as Enneagram
Thought partnership on a particular campaign, policy, process, or project
Leadership coaching in moments of organizational change
Field Building Partnerships
Through our field building work, Wayfinding Partners broadens from the personal, to the organizational, to the systemic as our unit of transformation.
From sector-wide research and convenings, to wellness and capacity-building programming for networks of nonprofit organizations and grantees, and beyond—-we are interested in broadening collective imaginations for bringing about fundamental change.
-
Philanthropies and PSOs, mission-driven networks, movement-builders and organizers, and public-private and multi-sector partnerships that are working toward systems change.
-
This depends on you, your context, and the opportunities we uncover for leveraging a collective impact toward healing and liberation.
