GET STARTED

Time away that truly matters

Too often, sabbaticals become wasted opportunities. Without a clear plan, time can slip by unnoticed, rest can turn into restless distraction, and guilt or uncertainty can creep in. Many people return to “business as usual” without the sense of renewal or clarity they had hoped for. It doesn’t have to be this way! A sabbatical can be an intentional, defining chapter in your life instead.

    I know what a sabbatical can be

    I created Sabbatical Studio because I know how transformative time away can be – and how easy it is to let the opportunity slip away.

    I’ve been through the process myself, and I’ve helped others design sabbaticals that bring them closer to who they want to be – in their work and in their lives. I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to guide you through the process with clarity and support.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    I guide you step by step to create a sabbatical plan that’s realistic, energizing, and tailored to you. We focus on both the practical details and the bigger picture, so your time away feels meaningful from start to finish.

    If you want your sabbatical to be intentional, restorative, and aligned with your life and career goals — yes. You don’t have to be burned out or in crisis to benefit. If you’re still not sure, book a free call with me to see if 1:1 sabbatical coaching is right for you.

    Yes. I take your privacy seriously. Sabbatical planning often requires a judgment-free space to talk through goals, challenges, and renewal – without departmental politics or discipline-level visibility. Anything you share with me is kept private, including professional or personal details. I don’t share client names, stories, or specifics with anyone. If you choose to tell others you’ve worked with me, that’s entirely up to you, but I never initiate that disclosure.

    Not at all. Whether you’re just applying for your sabbatical, or already starting to plan, we can create a roadmap that works for where you are now.

    Each live session is one hour, with up to an hour of prep work (short videos, reflective exercises, and planning) before each session, to be completed at your own pace. The program is designed to fit your schedule, not add stress.

    I’ll do the heavy lifting here. With your permission, sessions are recorded, and I’ll send you a summary plus actionable next steps after each session. You’ll always know exactly where you are and what comes next.

    We’ll build accountability and reflection practices into your plan so you can stay on track. You’ll also schedule one live session with me during your sabbatical (to check in and make any necessary adjustments), and another toward the end. You can also reach out between sessions if something comes up or you need a quick touchpoint.

    Yes! We can design your sabbatical to align with any institutional requirements or approvals you need, whether pre-tenure or otherwise.

    Yes, I can accept payment through professional development funds or sabbatical resources to cover coaching. You’ll need to check with your institution to confirm whether it’s allowed. I can send documentation or an invoice if that’s helpful.
