“Runa is a calm, insightful presence in supervision. She sets the ground for a new group to work together with ease and inspiration. It never feels formulaic. I truly value Runa’s authenticity, her ability to make space for everyone lightly, her intuitive nature and her astuteness in noticing what is and isn’t happening in supervision. I am so grateful to have supervision with someone who can hold levels of discomfort experienced by others, especially when it comes to the nature of diversity and privilege among so many coaches.” L. Price, Leadership Coach (Group Supervision)

She is nurturing and does not shy away from astute questioning. This combination encourages me to reach deeply within myself to discover solutions and insights. I feel supported and inspired by Runa and have become a better coach as a result of supervision with her. Runa’s skill at asking the right questions also role model the things I need to do myself. She does not get caught up in my energy and retains her wise questioning and counsel throughout.” M. O'Riordan, Journalist and Executive Coach (1:1 Supervision)
