The work of
coming back to yourself.
COACHING AND INTEGRATION WORK WITH JANE STARK
The most important work happening in the world right now is the work of reconnecting people to themselves.
We cannot build healthy lives, systems, workplaces or organizations from a place of disconnection.
It breeds fatigue, resentment, and a fracture that goes much deeper than what we perceive on the surface.
I do this work because I believe at my core that when we step out of fixed thinking and into curiosity, inquiry, self-awareness and integration, we create meaningful change. First in our personal lives, then in our professional lives, and outward into our organizations.
I've spent years doing my own inner work. Through burnout (more than once), through entrepreneurship, through career changes and through the kind of complex personal situations that don't have easy answers.
I know what it is to be the person in the room holding everything together while quietly questioning everything inside. To feel the exhaustion of not quite speaking your truth, and to sense that the truth you weren't speaking was actually the most important thing in the room.
I also know what the cost of disconnection is. Time. Energy. Money. Vitality.
That's what sent me deeper into this work and what I bring to every session.
I help you identify the patterns that are keeping you from the life and work you're actually capable of, and create the conditions where something finally shifts.
"What Jane and I did was so much more than coaching. It was like therapy and coaching on steroids. By the end of our time together I had healed relationships, closed doors for good, secured a promotion and shifted my mindset. I was thriving. Not only was I a better person to myself, I was a better parent, a better spouse, and a better friend."
~ Client, Senior Leader
This work is for you, the capable, self-aware person who knows something needs to change but can't quite see how to get from here to there. It might be showing up in your leadership, your career, or something more personal. Often it's all of it at once.
THE SITUATION
You’ve already done a lot of the other work. The therapy. The coaching. The books and the courses and the podcasts. You’re not short on insight. You understand your patterns intellectually. You know, somewhere, what needs to change.
What you're missing isn't more information. It's the capacity to integrate it.
Real change doesn't happen in the mind. It happens when new understanding lands in the body and when the nervous system feels safe enough to actually hold something different. This is the reason insight alone rarely produces lasting change, and why so many people find themselves having the same realization over and over without anything shifting.
THE COST
It's costing you more than it looks like from the outside. The role you've been tolerating too long. The opportunity you keep almost pursuing. The decision you've been making from fear instead of clarity. The team you're leading from a place of depletion. These aren't small things. They compound.
What I bring to this work, beyond the strategic thinking and the pattern recognition, is the ability to facilitate that integration. To create the conditions where something doesn't just make sense, but actually moves.
If you've done good work before and still feel stuck, this is likely what was missing.
Single Session
90 Mins | $275
Already know this is for you?
In 90 minutes together, we'll get underneath what's actually happening, find what's really in the way, and leave you with a clarity that makes the next step obvious.
Sometimes one session is exactly what's needed. A single conversation that unlocks something and sends you forward with clarity you can act on. Sometimes people get a taste of what's possible and want to go deeper.
Either way I’m here for it.
Strategy and Soul.
Both, at once.
THE WORK
What I bring into a conversation goes beyond analysis. Years of study in nervous system work, energy practice, spiritual inquiry, and more recently, study of the systems we operate within, have sharpened a particular quality of attention — one that tracks not just what you're saying, but what's underneath it.
In practice that means I'll ask the question you didn't see coming. I'll name the pattern you've been living inside but couldn't see from the outside. I'll make the connection between something happening in your work and something happening in you, two things you thought were unrelated, until suddenly they're not.
THE PROCESS
I work from my own unique methodology, a compilation of my training and lived experience. I don’t follow a program or a pre-set agenda. If you're not sure what to bring, that's okay; part of what I do is help you find what's most alive and most ready to move. You don't need to arrive with the right question. You just need to show up.
I blend the analytical and the intuitive, the strategic and the energetic. If that combination intrigues you more than it unsettles you, we're probably a good fit.
If you've done traditional coaching and felt like something was missing, like the real thing kept not quite getting touched, this might be what you were looking for.
"You are like the super wise friend who has all the answers. You challenge me by asking all the right questions. You stir up a curiosity within myself that has been suppressed for so long."

About Jane
I spent more than two decades building a career in marketing, business and leadership. I have experience holding executive roles, navigating boards and solving complex problems in high-stakes environments. I know what it is to be responsible for outcomes, to carry a team, to make decisions when the path forward isn't clear.
I also know what it is when that life stops working. When the competence is intact but something underneath it is running on empty.
My own experience of burnout and a period of significant personal rebuilding sent me deeper into the inner work I had always been drawn to. I trained formally as a health and life coach and spent years studying nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, energy practice and spiritual inquiry. What I discovered is that these two worlds — the strategic and the healing — don't just coexist. They need each other.
Ongoing Partnership
For those who want a consistent outside presence over time.
I offer strategic partnership (my version of coaching). Think of it like having a thought-partner and accountability partner in your back pocket, someone to unpack things with in real time. We begin with a three month commitment, then continue month to month for as long as it serves. The rhythm and focus follow what you're navigating, not a fixed curriculum.
