WHAT IS COACH SUPERVISION at We root to rise LLC ?

Even the tallest redwood isn't self-sufficient. Its roots are tangled with the roots of every tree around it — held up, yes, but also feeding and being fed by the grove, inter-twined systems. Coaching asks something similar of you. You hold space for clients session after session, how often does someone hold space for you ?

That's what supervision is for.

Coach supervision is a reflective practice where a trained supervisor helps you examine your coaching — not to critique your technique, but to support the whole of you doing this work and being the self-instrument : your ethics, your skill, your growth edge, and your nervous system. ICF-aligned supervision typically moves across four pillars, and I bring all four into the room:

All Four Into The Room

Most supervisors are strong in the first three. The fourth is where I go deeper than most rooms allow.

Where Reflection Meets The Soma

THE RESTORATIVE PILLAR — Planting seeds of embodied presence.

Where reflection meets the soma

Most restorative supervision stops at “how are you feeling about this client.” Mine doesn't stop there — because burnout, compassion fatigue, and quiet overwhelm don't live only in your thoughts. They live in your shoulders, your breath, your solar plexus, your gut.

I bring healing arts into the restorative pillar, I tap into sensory intelligence and weave in practices such as :

Qi Gong — gentle embodied movement and breathwork

Qi Gong

Gentle, embodied movement and breathwork that helps you actually discharge what a hard session left in your body — not just talk about it. A few minutes of grounded movement can do what an hour of processing sometimes can't.

Holistic Aromatherapy — scent as a path to the nervous system

Holistic Aromatherapy

Scent is one of the fastest paths to the nervous system. I use aromatherapy intentionally within our sessions to support grounding, clarity, or release — depending on what you're carrying into the room.

The result: restorative supervision that treats your capacity to keep coaching as seriously as your capacity to coach well. You leave sessions not just insighted, but genuinely replenished.

Group Supervision

The Perennial Drop-In Group Coaching Supervision

For coaches who value learning with and from others while deepening their reflective practice.

Group supervision offers a space to explore real coaching experiences in a structured, confidential setting, where multiple perspectives expand awareness, normalize challenges, and strengthen your capacity as a coach.

Each session is co-facilitated by my experienced colleague Brigit (Bee) Eichenberger, MCC and me, allowing for a richer range of perspectives, deeper inquiry, and a well-held group process.

The Process

How Group Supervision Works

Each session creates a focused and supportive environment where:

  • Participants bring real coaching cases, questions, or reflections
  • We explore ethical considerations, emotional dynamics, and systemic patterns
  • You gain insight not only from your own work, but from the experiences of others
  • Observing and contributing deepens your own coaching presence and discernment

This is not teaching, coaching or mentoring; it is a facilitated reflective process that strengthens your practice over time.

Credentialing Note

Group supervision sessions count towards your required 10 hours of mentoring when you are recredentialing with the International Coaching Federation.
