About Travis

As a Coach
I am interested in helping you find what creates balance in your life by first seeking acceptance of what is. I can help you connect to your truth in the moment, so that it becomes clearer how to be in alignment with your personal, professional, and relationship goals. I do not claim to know all the answers, nor do I feel fit to give you advice for your life. But that is directly in line with my coaching philosophy: You actually have all the answers! Don't trust that? Good, I like the challenge of connecting you to your own wisdom!
One of my favorite areas to explore is the balance between masculine and feminine energies in each of us, regardless of gender, and I believe in the importance of nurturing a relationship with both types of energy to create a sense of wholeness. Some other areas I am fascinated by include emotions, the LGBT community, transformation of trauma and shame, interpersonal relationships, the divine masculine, and living open-heartedly.

Education
Prior to becoming a life coach, I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Family Studies and Human Development as well as a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. I struggled to feel like I was actually helping people during my years as a social worker in a child welfare agency. When I realized the system in which I worked did not support helping others in ways that resonated with me, I took a leap of faith and decided to become a life coach. Because I value experiential learning so much, I felt pulled to take my skills even further by becoming an Equus Coach™ trained by life coach and horse whisperer, Koelle Simpson.

I am currently a Master Coach, Professional Certified Coach (International Coaching Federation), Equus Coaching Master Facilitator, and instructor for The Center for Equus Coaching.
