For high achieving leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives who understand their patterns and are tired of not being able to change them. In three hours, you'll have your first real, felt experience of IFS, not as a concept, but as something that lands in your body and shifts something that insight alone hasn't been able to touch.
This is the place to start. Not a lecture. A live, facilitated experience where something actually moves.
Recording access. Revisit the experience after the live session

Live · Virtual · Twice yearly · max 10 women
$650
An 8-week IFS-informed group coaching experience for women leaders ready to do inner work alongside women who understand the specific weight of their excellence. Not a support group. A held, intentional space for real parts work in community where being witnessed by people who carry what you carry is itself part of the transformation.
This is the natural next step after the workshop for women who want to go deeper in a sustained container.
Culturally conscious container. Identity and lived experience are part of the work, not footnotes

A private, concentrated IFS intensive for high-achievers ready to go deep, fast.

An intimate, in-person healing retreat in Virginia Beach for women who are ready to stop carrying it all and finally be held. Four days at a boutique hotel, designed from the ground up to give your system the space to finally exhale.
This is not a wellness escape. It's a deliberate, immersive container, IFS-informed, somatically grounded, and built for the specific exhaustion of women who carry a lot.

common questions
Before you reach out.
Is this therapy or coaching?
Coaching, not therapy. Thoughtfully Elevating is a private pay coaching practice, not a clinical service. While IFS informs the work, coaching is future focused, goal oriented, and not a mental health treatment. For therapy with BCBS insurance, visit kjhartwell.com.
Do you work with clients outside Virginia and Maryland?
Yes. All coaching services are offered virtually and serve clients globally. The IFS Healing Circle, The Deep Immersion, and all 1:1 coaching packages are available online.
Who is this specifically for?
This is for leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are high functioning and quietly exhausted. Folks who have done the external work brilliantly and are ready for their inner experience to catch up. You do not need prior knowledge of IFS to begin.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans are available for the Intensive and the retreat. Reach out via the contact page to discuss options.
How is IFS coaching different from regular coaching?
IFS coaching works with your internal parts: the protectors, managers, and exiles that shape your behavior, rather than just your goals and habits. It's not about adding better strategies on top of an old system. It's about changing the system itself.
