What clients are saying…
Kate Faoro-Wright | she/her
Founder and Creative Director of Tapestry Event Co.
“Four months ago, I would have told you I was fighting a deep state of denial around burnout, especially when it came to client mismatches and self-imposed systems that simply weren't working for me anymore. Theora was just the guide I needed to recalibrate my business to my current needs, my growth goals, and my vision for the future. In the four-month period we just completed I have seen the quality of my leads blossom; I have seen my team positively respond to my requests and invitations to grow the company and their role in it; I have seen the expansion of my creative capacity and my ability to delegate ideas to my team; and I have connected to a peaceful state of time management that allows me to identify and pursue energy rich opportunities for my business. I have begun to break bad leadership habits, like providing too much support to my team in a manner that fosters co-dependence or stamps out creative problem-solving. I have begun to value my time more highly and accurately, and build systems that allow me to generate income while also shifting my active bandwidth towards the roles and responsibilities that light me up most. Most importantly, I feel excited and confident about the year ahead, which sits right in the space of aligned and ambitious. For me, there is no other business consultant that I value more highly, and I have made it part of my annual strategy to work with Theora to identify and implement upgrades to my business.
I adore collaborating with Theora for a number of reasons. As a business owner, I don't often have mentors and guides that I tap into to help elevate my thinking and operations. I have a supportive community and an incredible team, but not a lot of people who can dance in the strategy and nuance of my offering. Theora is that person for me. Twice now, in very different chapters of my business, I have tapped into a coaching/consulting relationship with Theora to go to work on my most pressing developmental hurdles. She does a great job of understanding the world of my business and offerings; listening for my needs (both unspoken and those that require some reading between the lines); reflecting what is working and what is not working; and helping me generate strategy around how I communicate and manage my business according to my own version of success. She has taught me how to refine my client lead generation tools so that I'm getting better matches and more delicious working relationships. She has helped recalibrate my decision-making filters to pursue opportunities and ideas that are more nurturing to my nervous system. She has helped me reframe some of my people management mindsets to sustainably grow my team and my capacity as a leader. She shows up to each session open to what is top of mind for me and tracking that against the overall objectives we lay out for our working relationship, which helps me feel organized and in a state of forward progress.”

“Theora is wise beyond her years. She has coached me for the last six months. From coaching me to be a better husband to starting my business, she challenges me to show up, be aware of who I am, approach things with clarity and face the brutal facts. It doesn’t matter where you are as a business owner or in relationships, Theora knows how to empower you to bring your “A” game and get you to take action on building your dreams. She’s worth every penny if your willing to put in 110% effort. I recommend her to anyone who wants to take action, create accountability, and take on life with a vengeance.”

“Through the past several months of collaboration with Theora, we've grown exponentially in our partnership. Our communication on all levels has been refined, our goals for shaping the business have deepened and grown, our processes are getting dialed, and our ability to problem solve has sharpened.
This partnership with her has allowed us to forge an environment ripe with growth potential backed by effective habits to nurture and promote limitless progress!”

Founder of Homespun Midwifery
“When I started my work with Theora, I have to admit, I was skeptical that I needed help at all. But, as Theora noticed about me a bit later, going for it was my first step in "tricking myself into success." Theora's tuned ear listened through my stories to the heart of what I was truly desiring. Then she coached me into going after it!
Through our work together, I identified where I was selling myself short, I gained clarity on my professional goals, and I gathered the courage to launch my own business. I made breakthroughs in reclaiming my physical health, and deepened my romantic relationship with my partner. She helped me tap into strength and resources and grit that I hadn't realized were within me.
Theora has this fire that is a catalyst for transformation. Her presence is authentic and allows you to unfold. Her joyful excitement about life inspires you to dream bigger than before. She is wise, patient, and exudes a sense of abundance and optimism. She is clearly following her life's calling and her mission is to support people around her in doing the same for themselves! I recommend her consulting brilliance wholeheartedly.”

“Theora's consulting style continues to amaze me. When we first started working together, Theora's power-packed coaching style forced fresh air into my life that I was desperately needing and not allowing. New options started opening up left and right and my world expanded at a rapid rate with each session. Shortly after starting to work together I produced my first full art project now scheduled to be shown in a gallery, started my long-time dream business and am making real dollars, and healed my relationship to money. At first I questioned if our steam would run out, but that's the thing about working with Theora: It doesn't matter what level you're at, she will help you get to the next one. She will not allow fear or smallness or any subconscious beliefs to keep you from expanding to reach your full potential. As long as you're ready to do the work, you'll have an incredibly powerful and loving person by your side to support you every step of the way. And you probably won't even notice all the hard work you're doing since you'll be laughing the whole time because she's hilarious.”

“All I had for my business was the name and a vision, but no idea how to articulate this vision or make it a reality. I had recently returned home after leaving my corporate job and traveling for a few months, and I was in desperate need of a mentor or guide to help me navigate starting a business and working for myself.
The past 6 months have been filled with realization, growth, and clarity thanks to Theora's coaching. Every time we identified and cleared an obstacle in my personal life, my business also grew and jumped forward. Working with her on a consistent basis helped me to forge ahead and scale in a way that would have taken me forever to do on my own (AND it was way more fun). Now, I have an established business that is making money, putting on successful events, creating community, and becoming known in the Seattle wellness world.
Maybe you think you don't need a coach, or you can handle this all on your own. Trust me, you are still the captain of your ship and you are on your way to your destination, but working with Theora is like having the raddest co-pilot throw a party on your boat and then put rocket fuel in the engine. You will achieve your goals faster and enjoy the process more by having Theora as your coach. I can't say enough good things about this woman, let her change your life and your business!”

“Theora has the ability to create true energetic shifts. Because under all of the planning and creating and learning, if you’re not understanding your goals at the core of who you are… then you are not going to be nearly as successful at them as you can be. This is what she does. I’ve worked with many people from which I have learned a lot, but working with Theora actually shifted who I am as a person - and how I show up in the world as a result of that. She has a gift for re-routing unconscious prohibiting thought patterns and words, helping you learn how to answer you own questions, and increasing your manifesting power to extreme levels. It only took a matter of hours for things to start showing up in my life after speaking with her. She is a true coach that is worthy of every penny!”
