IFS is Different
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) method is quite different from what you might typically know or expect from other therapeutic approaches. It invites a unique, introspective exploration of the self, fostering a deeper understanding of the various parts that make up our inner landscape.
During our call, we’ll discuss anything on your mind—no topic is too big or small. I’ll help you find a thought or feeling to explore further. My questions may seem unusual at first, but people adapt quickly.
For example, I might ask: "There’s a part of you that wants to sleep in and another that feels you should wake up at 5 am and run 10 miles. When you focus on the desire to sleep in, what do you feel in your body?" I mention this to help you feel more familiar with the method before we meet.
Extended 1 : 1 Coaching
A standard “50-minute hour” simply can’t capture the profound depth of healing that Internal Family Systems offers.
Our unique “time-and-a-half” sessions create a welcoming sanctuary where you can dive into the intricate layers of your inner world. You’ll be free to wander along vital trailheads, uncovering insights and nurturing growth, all while ensuring a safe return to your center—renewed, revitalized, and ready to embrace your true self.
Instead of trying to manage your feelings or thoughts, IFS allows you to safely explore them. I will help you get to know the different parts of yourself. Together, we will see how your mind, body, and spirit interact to shape your desires, goals, fears, and actions.
Unlike traditional therapy, which focuses on understanding your past, IFS aims to heal those parts of you that feel out of sync. We foster compassion, trust, and understanding rather than control.
What people say about Toni…
-
Brian Salts-Halcomb
I had the great pleasure of working with Toni and she is truly wonderful. She was able to navigate conversations with such ease and extract unexpected insights. She has a true gift of naturally bringing conversation to a point of deeper meaning and understanding, I very much value the knowledge and skills I have gained from knowing her.
-
Kelli Truesdale
I love your relationship focus approach. You are bringing deeper relationships that other programs I checked out just places don't. And these are the people that are my supportive network! I know them better, and me, than I ever would.
-
IFS intensive participant
Toni was able to gracefully handle a heavy demo session and helped myself and others with challenging protectors really feel safe. She helped me land after a trailhead and deeply connect with a part.
-
IFS Client
Toni has a genuine spirit that brings out the best in you.
-
Jen Wilson
I’ve worked with Toni as a co-organizer of events and have seen her create something out of nothing.
I like to describe Toni as “LinkedIn with a heart;” she’s a natural people person and connector. She finds people and matches them with opportunity, not just professionally, but in everyday life too.
It’s genuine, not an artificial craft she’s honed over time. It’s just who she is. This ability takes getting to know people, but also the ability to listen and listen well.

I loved working with you!
Who you are as a human, how you think, how you approach work, how you have energy toward, and how you're able to motivate and get other people engaged.
I’d say it’s just your nature, or you're predisposed to be successful, but you’ve shown me that leadership is a skill anyone can learn.

More Toni pls. How joyful and kind of a human is she! It felt very safe and supportive to be with her group.

No words can describe my appreciation for Toni. Thank you Toni for providing such an open, safe and flexible space in our last practice. I could not ask for more or wish for more in how we closed or ended our IFS training. The amount of safety, insight and support you have given to our little group was immense. Thank you so very much. This space you have created with us is something that I will remember for a long time moving forward. I thank you personally for being my support but also thank you for role modeling what a great group leader looks like.

Group Coaching
Each group lasts 90 minutes and accommodates up to six participants. Groups focused on specific topics:
IFS mentoring for coaches and therapists
Autistic women
Adults with ADHD
Service-based business owners seeking clarity in their business.
Group coaching provides a transformative experience through collective wisdom and shared journeys. In a warm environment, diverse individuals enhance the healing process together. The connection and support among participants allow neurodiverse adults and overthinkers to express vulnerabilities, leading to breakthroughs and deep healing.
Group dynamics facilitate real-time reflections, fostering empathy and understanding through shared stories. This encourages accountability and motivation, as members inspire one another’s progress. In this meditative exploration, group coaching cultivates a sense of belonging, highlighting that differences contribute to the richness of human experience. Join us in this meaningful journey and discover the healing power of unity.
Book a free discovery call
Before committing to anything, let’s spend some time over Zoom for free! We will discuss what’s happening in your life right now and how IFS could help.
We will also get a feel for what our relationship might feel like. Coaching is intimate - there’s no need to jump in without knowing who you’re jumping in with!
