When everything feels heavy, clarity creates momentum.

For professionals who feel stuck, stretched, or unsure of what comes next, I’ll help you create space to pause, reconnect with what matters, and take your next steps with confidence.

Has it been years since you put yourself first?
Or maybe you’ve fallen out of love with your job…

You make sure that your team has what they need.
Your family is signed up for the activities they love.
The HVAC filter gets changed. The dog stays alive.  

And somewhere along the way, you’ve lost the thread of what you actually want… or maybe you can’t quite articulate it anymore.

Maybe you’re not sure you even want that next promotion. Perhaps something big shifted and you’re still trying to catch up. 

Or maybe you just have that persistent feeling of:
this isn’t quite it. I know life can be more.

Coaching changed my life. And it can change yours, too.

No matter how much I tried to do all the “right” things–be productive, stay positive, squeeze in yoga–I couldn’t stop the mental spin and physical exhaustion. 

I didn’t even know what I was feeling, let alone what needed to change. 

And like many of my clients, I felt guilty even considering spending money on myself when there were activity fees to pay,  a water main to replace, and a dog who wouldn’t stop eating things he wasn’t supposed to eat. 

I almost gave up and said: “I guess this is just how it’s supposed to be.”

My coach truly changed my life by guiding me to a direction that gives me so much more joy than what I thought I was “supposed” to be doing. 

That path turned out to be getting certified to be a coach myself, and to help others in transformational ways. 

Now I’ve been lucky to help clients through hard times and the good times, through leaving jobs and starting jobs, through promotions and layoffs, and most importantly, helped them grow their confidence and experience how right living fully into their values actually feels.

Coaching is often offered in longer packages – and that can feel like a big leap.

The Momentum Sessions are designed for people who want support now, without overcommitting. 

Introducing

The Momentum Sessions

A three-session coaching experience for mid-career professionals who feel overwhelmed, unsure of their next move, and ready to reconnect with what actually matters. 

These sessions are perfect for:

  • Leaders who are stretched thin

  • Working parents and caregivers who need new purpose

  • Recovering perfectionists who feel a bit lost

  • People navigating change… or quietly craving it

  • “With Ellen, I learned that a commitment to taking time on a regular basis to think about personal and professional goals is time and money well spent! It was a very positive experience, even more positive than I expected."

    —Senior Leader, University of Washington

  • “Ellen helped me hone in on some of my key interests, superpowers, and goals for my process ahead. I appreciate that she urged me to have grace for myself in the difficult work of transition, and modeled it with her warm, no-nonsense, we-could-all-be-more-kind-to-ourselves approach.”

    — Becky Kelley, Senior Policy Advisor, Office of the Governor, Washington State

  • "We all deserve our own personal cheerleader and Ellen lifts you up while also adding practical guidance. Ellen has a gift for deep listening and tailoring the work and content of the sessions to your personal goals for your life and your work. She is sincere, genuine, and supportive."

    — Executive, University of Montana

What’s inside
the Momentum Sessions?

This isn’t surface-level coaching or generic advice.
It’s structured, supported, and designed around you.

Three 60-minute coaching sessions with accredited executive coach, Ellen Whitlock Baker 

  • Three one-on-one, hour-long sessions with me that are 100% focused on you. We’ll identify your goals, make a plan for how to get you there, wade through the mud of what’s weighing on you, and I’ll be by your side every step of the way. 

Unlimited emails or voice chats between sessions 

  • Because life will continue doing its thing while you’re in the Momentum Sessions, and sometimes you’ll want to talk about something that’s come up between sessions. I’m here for you. 

A customized action plan 

  • You’ll leave with a plan of action that feels doable for you right now, not an overly complex and over-ambitious plan that will just sit there silently judging you instead of helping you take action. 

Investment: $799*

*This offering is intentionally priced lower than my standard coaching packages to
make high-quality support more accessible—without requiring a long-term commitment.

You’ll come away with: 

  • Clarity: Get clear on what you actually want, so you can stop second-guessing yourself.

  • A plan: Create a realistic, personalized plan that fits your real life (and not an aspirational fantasy.)

  • Confidence: Rebuild by reconnecting to your values and trusting your decisions again. 

  • Boundaries: Establish boundaries that protect your energy so work doesn’t take over your life.

Not sure if I’m right for you?

Schedule a free 30 minute consult with me now and we’ll talk through it. 

  • I offer a limited number of Momentum Sessions at a time to ensure each client receives focused, high-quality support. Spots tend to fill quickly once they’re released.

  • If you’ve been thinking about starting the year with clarity and intention, this is your invitation to begin. There is no perfect time to start… and there’s no preparation that needs to be done for our sessions.

  • I’ve worked with mid-career professionals from all walks of life who feel overwhelmed, unsure of their next move, or ready to reconnect with what truly matters. Schedule your free consultation and we can discuss our fit!

Are you ready to start your year with the clarity of knowing you’re going in the right direction? 

Three intentional coaching sessions can change the direction of your life – I am living proof. And though results aren’t immediate (wouldn’t it be nice if it worked that way?), coaching is like a compass that will help you find your way to living into your values, finally finding work-life balance, and discovering (or uncovering) the purpose that will help you reclaim your confidence in yourself. 

I can’t wait to work together.
