Individual services · Four months, one to one
A Turning Season
A season is long enough for something to actually change, and short enough to begin.
In short
- Who it’s for — women leaders, founders, creatives, athletes, professionals, and the people in the trenches of caring for others, for systems, and for the planet. Anyone carrying something real who wants four months to work on it — navigating with vision, rather than in crisis.
- What it is — four months of one-to-one work, minimum. An hour together every week, plus a half-day retreat. We rebuild your resilience ecosystem: what feeds you, what drains you, and the design that decides which one wins.
- A half-day at the farm — every season includes one, working directly with the Tarn mapping. Come to the farm on the Gallatin River if you can. If you are overseas or cannot travel, we do the same work online, and it works.
- Investment — $1,100 per month · four months minimum. Pay the season in full and two extra consult calls are yours, to use between sessions whenever you need them.
- How you get in — a conversation first. I take a limited number of individual engagements, and we both decide.
- By the end — more water in the tarn, fewer leaks, and a way of working you can keep running without me.
The work
You are an ecosystem, not a problem to be solved
Most support arrives as advice: do this differently, try harder here, manage your time better. It treats you as a machine with a faulty part.
I don't work that way. You are an ecosystem — a whole system of inflows and outflows, some of them visible to you and some of them not. Energy comes in through support, beauty, purpose, land, other people. It leaves through work, grief, stress, drama, expectation, and the quiet cost of everything you are carrying that nobody has named yet.
A season is what it takes to see the whole of that, change the design, and live inside the change long enough that it holds.
The shape of it
An hour a week, and a day that is longer
We meet one to one for an hour every week. Somewhere in the four months there is also a half-day together for the deeper work, at the farm if you can come to it. And I am reachable between sessions — you do not have to save things up for Tuesday.
The hours themselves are fully responsive. There is no curriculum you are moved through. I bring whatever the toolbox has that meets what is actually in front of us, which changes, and I work from the Isle of Resilience — the map of the territory this work covers.
In practice a season goes further into the interior of that island than the Fellows tend to want. The cohort year spends much of itself out at the edges, venturing. This is the quieter and more inward half of the same country, and four months of weekly hours is the right amount of time to walk it.
What you leave with
- Your own maps, before and after — your resilience as it was when you arrived, and as it is when you go. Drawn by you.
- The resilience guild library — the games, tools and practices, yours to keep working with.
- A new lightness. Harder to put in a list, and the one people mention first.
If this is you
Women leaders, and everyone else carrying a lot
A great deal of my one-to-one work is with women leaders, and it has its own texture: burnout that looks like competence from the outside, self-doubt that survives every success, bias absorbed so long it reads as weather, and a work-life balance conversation that never quite addresses what is actually being spent.
These are not personal failings to be coached out of you. They are outflows in a system, and they can be designed for.
The same work runs for founders, creatives, athletes, professionals and leaders of every kind — and for the people in the trenches of caring for other people, for systems, and for the planet.
That last group I know particularly well. Where the work is a vocation the need has no bottom, and giving past your own capacity gets called dedication. It is not dedication. It is an outflow nobody has costed.
The ecosystem is the ecosystem, and it does not much mind what is on your business card.
By the end
What is different
The first thing that arrives is space. Not more hours — the same hours, holding less dread.
Then the leaks get named, and naming them is most of the work. Then you start making decisions from a different place, and the people around you notice, not because you told them, but because you changed.
And you leave with the tools, not a dependency. You will know your own water level, what raises it, and what to do on the days it drops. That is the whole point — I am building something that keeps running after our season ends.
People ask what the work is about. The honest answer is that the arena it plays out in is whatever we are living — there is no separate subject matter.
Some of my absolute favourite shifts are the ones where nothing changed. Nothing changed, and everything’s different.
The half-day
One day of it happens here
Somewhere in the four months we spend half a day together at the farm, mapping your tarn — what is filling it, what is draining it, where the water sits right now. It is the piece of the work that is hardest to do through a screen, and the piece people remember longest.
If you are overseas, or travel is not possible, we do it online instead. I have run it both ways for years and both work. Coming here is not a requirement; it is an offer.
What clients are saying
There is a peace, serenity, and an inspiring sense of being found. … Something in this place nurtures a freedom of thought and opportunity, and being here lifts and welcomes you to release your creative inner thoughts — a new way of acknowledging that which has held you back.

My goal for working with Lorca as my coach was to sharpen my focus and validate my decision to leave my 20+ year software development career. She didn’t do this. … Lorca gave me what I never knew to ask for and couldn’t see I needed. I am grateful.
Amy Andrews
After an onslaught of stressors in my work and personal life, the stories I kept telling myself were more damaging than the events themselves. … I basically learned a new language — that of resilience. … I’m able to create breathing room between what happens and how I experience what happens. That, alone, has transformed my life.
