The Wander Within tools are designed to support reflection, regulation, and resilience across individual, group, and organizational settings.

Together, they help us understand ourselves more deeply, make meaning from experiences, and move forward with grounded intention.

The Wander Within Compass™

A reflective map of your inner world. Used to personalize your experience.

A colorful diagram with overlapping petal shapes, each labeled with keywords: Authentic Connection, Honored Space, Self-Kindness, Intentional Gratitude, Adaptive Strength, Emotional Balance, Mindfulness, Aligned Living. The center features a compass with a letter "W".

The Wander Within Compass™ is an eight-domain reflection tool that provides a personalized snapshot in the areas that shape well-being and alignment:

Authentic Connection | Honored Space | Self-Kindness | Intentional Gratitude

Mindfulness | Adaptive Strength | Emotional Balance | Aligned Living

The Compass is not a test, diagnosis, or evaluation. It is a mirror and insight within - a way to see what’s present, in this moment, with clarity and kindness.

  • It is not therapeutic

  • It is not a mental health assessment

  • It is not a measure of worth, progress, or failure

  • It does not interpret trauma or diagnose anything

It is a supportive reflection companion. Helping folx understand themselves more deeply and move forward from a place of awareness and compassion.

How the Compass Personalizes Experience

The Wander Within Compass is used in all group and individual settings. It is integrated with intention into group and team experiences to highlight the individual that is showing up to the collective.

Before Coaching Begins

The first Compass gives a snapshot of:

  • The strengths you’re already using

  • Where you feel steady

  • Where stress or misalignment shows up

  • Emotional and behavioral patterns

  • Areas ready for gentle support

This is where the personalization begins.

Your Pre-Compass results help me design a coaching experience specifically shaped around you. I choose from 300+ Wander Within activities spanning emotional literacy, resilience, values, communication, somatic grounding, and more to create your Wandering Within Workbook.

Before the Final Session

The second Compass is completed near the end of our time together. Its purpose is not to measure improvement or determine success.

Instead, it offers:

  • A compassionate “now vs. then” reflection

  • Perspective on the ebb and flow of life

  • Awareness of what feels different or familiar

  • Insight into what’s emerging for you now

  • Integrated understanding of your inner world

  • An opportunity to use the skills you’ve practiced

  • A roadmap for sustainability moving forward

Some areas rise. Some dip. Some stay the same.

All outcomes are human, meaningful, and useful, helping to guide sustainable insight and support moving forward.

Wandering Within Workbook™

The Compass provides clarity. The Workbook delivers integration.

The Wandering Within Workbook is a curated, guided space for turning insight into meaningful, lived practice. It is built from 130+ trauma-informed reflection and integration activities that I personally created to support resilience, alignment, and sustainable well-being across a wide range of human experiences.

The Compass helps identify what matters most in a given moment by illuminating where strength already exists and where support would be most helpful. The Workbook then utilizes that clarity with intentionally chosen practices, offering structure, pacing, and depth to support real integration over time.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all resource, the Workbook is customized to the individual, group, or team, drawing from the Compass results and the specific context in which the work is taking place. Activities are adapted to support both personal reflection and shared learning, making the Workbook equally effective in one-to-one coaching, group experiences, and organizational settings.

Together, the Compass and Workbook create a cohesive process - clarity followed by integration - helping insight move beyond awareness and into everyday life, relationships, and systems.
