| About |
Travis developed her unique coaching style from 15+ years in corporate America and also self-development through Duke Integrative School of Medicine program, MBSR and “O,” The Oprah Magazine columnist and coach, Dr. Martha Beck’s Life Coach Training.
In her words, “My mission is creating a bridge to self-discovery for clients. By building awareness and presence with an individual, their knowledge turns into positive momentum that fuels the change they want to make in their life.”
Though she has three distinct coaching areas, Business, Dating and New Grad, the basis for her approach comes from her blended experience of having one foot firmly planted in the business world and one foot always dancing in the self-help world. In business, Travis held positions at Levi Strauss & Co, The Gap and Calvin Klein Cosmetics, a Unilever Company. Since 2008, she consulted on various brand and marketing strategy projects for Visa, The Four Seasons and Target to name a few. Her experience was also enhanced by contracting with Decker Communications as a communications coach working with clients like Choice Hotels, Bacardi and Charles Schwab.
One of Travis’ real turning points was accepting the VP of Branding role at Miraval Spa and Resort, a part of Steve Case’s Revolution Company. This is where her dance with the self-help world found firm footing. She connected with Miraval because of its roots in Mindfulness. In 2004, Travis took a program through Duke Integrated School of Medicine called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). She learned what it means to practice presence in moment-to-moment awareness and dissolve the stress that arises in daily life.
While Travis was tasked with developing a new brand image for the soon-to-be Miraval real estate development company, she participated in all the programs Miraval had to offer from the Miraval Equine Experience™ to Quantum Leap to Holographic Memory Resolution. It was like a self-help boot camp on steroids. Here she got her life changing “A-ha” moment when working with Wyatt Web and the horse; she found that her entire adult life had been focused on her career with her well-being in a not-so-close second. A rebalancing needed to happen if Travis was going to create the life she wanted.
She subsequently left Miraval exploring what life could be like if she put herself first and her career second. Amazingly, life opened up. She ended up meeting her now husband within one month of her drastic life change. She started a blog, Dating With A Purpose, and began dating coaching all the while consulting on branding and marketing projects. Allowing herself the space to explore coaching led her to Martha Beck’s Life Coach Training program. She loved the way Dr. Beck’s approach, marrying science with self-help, mirrored her own life of marrying business with self-help. Travis completed the year-long training learning invaluable tools to complement her skills and experience and is a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach.
Travis lives with her husband, David, and their dog, B.B. in Marin County outside of San Francisco, CA. She coaches clients from all over the United States.
