Anoma has helped clients get into these companies:
I want to provide care for you as a whole, integrated person-- mind, body, spirit, career, family. I work with people of any background, using my clients' own belief systems about the world as a foundation. I offer a judgment-free, safe space and tailored coaching to: • reconnect to your body & intuition after burnout • manage transitions - in career, parenthood, family of origin, or identity • grapple with religious, moral, or spiritual questions you're facing • use meditation to activate your parasympathetic nervous system • find meaning and stability in tragedy and chaos • uncover your life and career purpose After a lifetime of overachieving, I broke down. I experienced a cocktail of burnout, unresolved family issues, and chronic pain that left me unable to type for 2 years. Disconnected from my purported values and body, I had found myself trapped by thoughts of what I “should” do, and riddled with anxiety. Following a years-long healing journey, I took courses in counseling and pain reprocessing therapy before becoming a secular hospital chaplain. In working with my patients, we addressed matters as diverse as divorce, parenthood, gender transition, terminal illness, and bereavement. I eventually closed that chapter, but it helped me realize how much I love being a sanctuary and a thought partner for people navigating complex challenges. If you can relate to my own journey, or think I could help, I'd love to hear from you.

About Anoma
Before coaching full time, I was chief of staff to a C-level executive at UNICEF USA, advising on team performance, political strategy, and org culture. My coaching is informed by past experience as an interfaith chaplain at California's #1 hospital, where I counseled people through unthinkable medical situations. For instance, I talked an Emmy-winning producer through her identity & career crisis following a terminal cancer diagnosis. I am passionate about helping people through major transitions, graduate school applications, and finding the balance between work and self-care-- especially given my personal experience with burnout, complex family systems, parenthood, and pivoting between the public & private sectors. I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, have taken coursework in Buddhist counseling, have 17 years of meditation experience, and did clinical pastoral education at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.
Why do I coach?
When I was seven, I created a business card. My title: "Helper." I coach because I know what it's like to feel lost and disconnected -- and what it's like to find purpose and move forward with a plan. Having had the privilege of attending elite institutions and overcoming physical and mental burnout, I yearn to give back. I love to create spaces in which people can truly feel seen, are empowered to do their inner work, and move towards both excellence and wellbeing. I would not be where I am today without the work of mentors who created such spaces for me.
