emotional intelligence (EQ) is our greatest asset in the ups and downs of everyday life and can be strengthened with simple practices.
why EQ?
embodied EQ practices for your everyday life
I am dedicated to helping you live with a strong and open heart.
The scope and depth of my approach offers you an integrated understanding of your wellbeing and transformation that lasts.
Meet Tiffany
I am a facilitator, EQ coach, restorative yogi, and advocate doing my best every day to live with courage and vulnerability, an appreciation for the necessary ambiguity/complexity of being human, and self-trust above all else. That’s really hard sometimes and always worth it…especially together.
Community Practice
I would love to welcome you to community practice! I offer signature small-group restorative yoga gatherings 2x/month and weekly gentle yoga sessions. Writing circles, meditation, EQ topics, and dedicated breathwork workshops, are scheduled throughout the year. Private groups also available.
EQ Coaching
Create a foundation of resilience in your everyday life. 1:1 EQ coaching will teach you how to reliably access your innate emotional intelligence as a partner to your intellect, moving out of reactivity to responsiveness. Coaching is also available in triads – providing 1:1 guidance in supportive community.
Yoga Your Way
Do you love yoga? Here’s an opportunity to tailor your practice to YOUR body and mind, both refining and amplifying the benefits to your life on and off the mat. Personalized modifications for at-home and yoga studio practice include consideration of your physical and emotional wellbeing.
Want to know how deeply you can trust yourself, even in times when it all seems to be going uphill? Work with Tiff.

Why does emotional intelligence matter?
Even in a life we love, we have times when we feel a little spent, totally overwhelmed, fearful, dissatisfied, or just stuck.
And in these very human moments of discomfort, our emotional intelligence stands ready to partner with our intellect; it’s our greatest asset in uncertainty and the source of our resilience.
We could pause, pay attention, remember no feeling is permanent, and make the next right choice that reflects what we value.
But we don’t. Instead of allowing those hard feelings to move through us, our minds fill with the messages received from every direction; a life without obstacles and heartache is just around the corner if we try hard enough. If anything feels “off”, we must be doing it wrong.
We’re problem-solvers. So with our tender hearts and flooded minds, we seek an external fix and keep our focus on an ideal and elusive stress-free version of ourselves. We’re smart and capable but this rarely works. Why?
Because the feelings we’re trying to manage our way out of aren’t accessed through our minds, they originate in our bodies. And they hold the wisdom we’re searching for.
We have to feel it to heal it.
We can’t actually avoid complex emotion – it’s what makes us human – and the first step to increasing our emotional intelligence is building greater awareness of our feelings and patterns. Which means we have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there are proven practices that consistently shift you out of a focus on “fixing” and into a deep self-trust that transforms the way you experience your emotional life.
- emotional intelligence education/coaching
- restorative and therapeutic yoga
- gentle breathwork
- simple guided meditation
- writing to heal/personal narrative work
Rest, breath, presence, and reflection are powerful tools that we carry with us at all times – we just need to pause and apply them. And research proves that supportive habits are more durable in community…
let’s practice together.
