Beside you, before and after

Most of the real work happens around the day itself, not during it. Here's how we walk with you.

  1. Before

    A few conversations in the weeks before: what you hope for, what worries you, how to look after yourself.

  2. The day

    The day itself. We're not there, but you'll go in knowing someone is waiting on the other side.

  3. The day after
    Matters most

    The one that matters most. A gentle check-in, and someone to talk to while it's still fresh.

  4. The weeks after

    We keep talking, as often or as little as you like, as you bring it into your days.

Why Afterglow
"I kept meeting people who'd come back from something huge and had nobody to talk to about it. Friends didn't get it, and some didn't want to hear it. I wanted there to be a place where you could say it out loud and be met with care."

What a conversation is like

You talk, we listen.

Tell us what's on your mind, in your own words and at your own pace. There's nothing you need to have figured out.

Before your journey.

We help you notice what you're hoping for, what you're nervous about, and how to look after yourself.

After your journey.

We help you make sense of what came up and gently bring it into your days, your work and your relationships.

What coaching is

Setting intentions, preparing mind and body, and — afterwards — turning what came up into real change in your work, relationships and daily life.

What it isn't

Coaches don't help anyone decide whether, what, or where to journey, and don't sit with you during an experience. Afterglow isn't therapy, medical care, or a crisis line.

If you'd like to talk, we're here, whenever you're ready.
