What is Ontological Life and Leadership Coaching?
As a certified coach, I assist you in discovering your innate power and purpose, enabling you to proceed with clarity, take empowered action, and expand your nervous system to overcome challenges.
Accredited coaching is a tool for personal growth that helps align your current actions with your future goals while supporting your overall well-being. Coaching covers various life areas like career, values, relationships, well-being, finances, and purpose, aiming for holistic results.
Contrary to popular belief, coaches don't give direct advice. Instead, they work with you to discover your true self, empowering you to make progress. As an ontological coach, I explore beyond words to uncover underlying issues, reshape perspectives, and guide focused action. My approach is enriched by over 14 years of teaching yoga and healing studies, complementing my business and leadership experience.
I hold certification as a Life and Leadership Professional Coach from Accomplishment Coaching, an ICF accredited program. I follow the highest coaching standards and have undergone advanced mentorship with Accomplishment Coaching's Leadership Team, guiding coach training and facilitating sessions for individuals and groups. Additionally, I have a BA in Leadership and Sustainable Business.
What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Therapists diagnose mental conditions, while coaches prioritize present-to-future goals, commitments, and accountability. Although I integrate trauma-informed practices, for specific trauma or mental health concerns, consulting a therapist is essential.
Coaching focuses on building future-oriented support structures, guided by the ethical standards of the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Other Modalities Used in Coaching:
Human Design:
Human Design, an assessment tool, uncovers our individual energy for enhanced flow, alignment, and purpose. Your chart reveals insights into your health, psychology, vulnerabilities, limitations, shadows, talents, strengths, and natural gifts. Essentially, it guides us to areas of innate ease.
As an energetic system, it empowers us to embrace our unique energy, shedding what doesn't resonate, aiding decision-making, and fostering alignment with our true essence. This energetic alignment promotes flow and facilitates effortless materialization and manifestation.
I also provide standalone Human Design readings. For more information, click here.
Somatics, mindfulness and healing through yoga:
I bring my experience in yoga, healing, and energy work into my coaching style. I believe everyone has inherent completeness, and my aim is to help clients understand this truth. My study of yoga helps me grasp human potential and our ability to be present and evolve.
During our sessions, I often use mindfulness techniques to integrate our work on a physical level. When we connect with our true selves, we can better discern what's best for us. Growth involves the mind, body, and soul, and recognizing how they interrelate is essential in my approach.
“coaching offers a reprieve from the norm.
It allows you to breakthrough your pre-existing limitations,
giving you the ability to achieve your loftiest goals.”
-Forbes
Who are you?
Coaching is a commitment that can change every area of your life. My six month containers are for those that are ready to shift, and committed to creating change.
The first step to getting started is to book a consultation:
“Working with Linnea is something hard to explain. She is joyful, funny, and light hearted but able to say powerful/matter of fact things in a way that makes you feel like you want to be a part of your own growth, and you can do it. She is very logical, smart and direct - a grounded guide, but gives you the levity you need in tough situations to move forward with clarity of thought. It's honestly some of the most powerful facilitation I've ever seen, she can inspire people to themselves in a whole new way, and helps them to see that every obstacle is really just part of the road there.
She is like part business, part magician - a true leader that has CEO energy, but comes in quietly so that you feel safe, and then allows you to see your power - so like a healer too. And then you realize you had a lot of fun doing it.
That is pretty cool. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.”
- Corporate Client
“Working with Linnea was by far the most rapidly transformative time period of my life. She created a container for me to uncover my deepest desires and assisted me in creating a clear and actionable path to my dream life. Her high caliber training is evident in the way she gracefully holds space for her clients. Linnea's biggest gift to my life was handing power back to me over and over again. Working with her gave me the support I needed to reset my nervous system, rebirth my relationship with my partner, release relationships that no longer served me, and so much more. Thank you for offering your gifts to the world in this way, I am forever grateful!”
— C. Shaul, Coaching Client
“I've been working with Linnea for the past 2 years and I've grown so much since, thanks to our sessions and everything she brings to the table. I've not only got to know my authentic self better and recognize when I'm coming from my true essence and when I'm operating in survival, I've also learned tools to go outside of what I've known so far and open myself up to new levels of abundance, love and impact. Many tangible results came out of this, like better jobs and higher salaries, projects and grants, meaningful connections and healthier habits. What's more important are the intangible benefits I got from this work, like becoming more vulnerable and courageous, having more capacity to experience life fully, including its darker and more difficult aspects. Very grateful for Linnea, her compassionate and grounded nature, as well as her knowledge and experience in inviting me to keep looking into this mirror and stepping more fully into who I really am.”
— K. Komlach, Coaching Client
“I just wanted to reach out and thank you for doing the session. I have heard that people really enjoyed it. Like I said in the chat, I love the idea of breaking cycles consciously. We do have a tendency to get caught up in the daily grind and it is important to find ways to get out of it.”
— J. Hall, Corporate Client
“PEACE is settling in for the first time in my life. I feel like we really opened up a lot. I feel present for the first time. Shedding all that and looking at all that really closely and having that support. I only saw the negative side of myself for so long. Wow! I can actually feel happy, and create visions and do goals and do the stuff and my imagination is growing, and it is way easier to see what I want.
I have a lot of tools to help me practice coming from my heart, coming from my essence, instead of fear and everything that has been holding back. I created a move and also slowed down, and stepped into myself, while honoring the process. Learning how to control my emotions instead of them controlling me has been huge. SO MUCH.
I felt so lost and so confused for so long, and me slowing down so I can focus on the things that really matter is really cool. I am excited. It feels good to be excited, rather than in fear and in judgement and all those survival thoughts.”
— Coaching Client
“I’ve done years of therapy and while it’s very useful to discuss old wounds and uncover patterns that don’t serve, coaching is a whole other thing. Linnea helped me get crystal clear on who I am (my essence) and exactly what I want and held me accountable! It’s so easy to let fear, societal/cultural pressure paralyze you or have you settle. Working with Linnea helped me tap into my truth, powerful inner goddess, and actively work through the fear based moments TRUSTING that everything I want exists and not settling. I couldn’t recommend her more in terms of creating the life you want either personal or professional."
—D. Burga, Coaching Client
“How can I begin to tell you how much this work has meant to me. It’s been such a powerful step to invest in myself this way - and to have it be you couldn’t have been more perfectly matched. To have a container created solely on my behalf gave me such a strong sense of comfort and freedom. I was able to access myself in new ways, to know myself more fully, to fall in love with myself just a little bit deeper. Thank you for that gift.”
— L. Schlegel, Coaching Client
“Linnea comes across very authentic, honest and above all very human. The quality of being she seems to emanate somehow inspired me to be more human. It’s like she had an inner light that seemed to inspire me to awaken my inner light. Linnea emanating this level of integrity invited me to adjust myself to a higher level of integrity.”
—D. Groniger, Coaching Client
“I will forever remember our shared experience and foundation of support you contributed to my evolution. I have a deep gratitude and reverence for how you shaped my life.”
— C. Edwards, Teacher Trainee
“Your humor, feedback and encouragement were greatly appreciated. Thank you for making me a better teacher. Thank you for all of your hard work. You are an amazing coach."
