Coaching

Welcome!

As I wrap up my coaching certification process and experiment with new techniques, I’m offering free and deeply discounted coaching. If you’re interested in working with me, I invite you to book one free session and try it out. Book using the button below, or email me at quinn.corte.consulting@gmail.com.

Ditch the grind.

Come to life.

Here’s the deal…

We live and work in broken, harmful systems. Systems that deny our humanity and want us to stay overwhelmed, exhausted, and beat-down. Those in power don’t want us to have space or energy to dream of a better life—a better world. They only want us to produce and perform.

I believe our mission is to challenge oppressive systems, unwind the pressure within, and actually enjoy life.

When there’s less nonsense and urgency swirling around, you find space again—for you. You start to hear the wisdom of the earth, the body, and the soul. It tells you what to leave behind and what direction to go. By following your inner guidance, you can discover your needs, your magic, and your truth. 

YOU are not broken or failing. You know exactly who you are and what you want. You just need help clearing the fog from your head and the rocks from your path. 

When you learn to tune in to yourself, your unique path starts to light up. Your compass can show you how to become your most wild, magical, badass self; help change the world; AND meet your (very real) material needs.

When you hire me, I won’t be another voice in your head telling you who you should be. I’ll give you the tools to listen to your body, find your own answers, and stand on solid ground. I’ll be a mirror, reflecting back your bravest truths and most dazzling self. I’ll help you unravel the stories that hold you back so you can discover the thrill of what’s next. 

Now more than ever, the world needs you to do your thing. 

I would LOVE to guide you there.

Hi! I’m Quinn (she/her). I’m a coach, writer, and teacher who helps people unhook from the hustle and plug into what’s real. 

This has been my journey for many years. Unhooking from the hustle has taken me from a burned out, overwhelmed people-pleaser to someone who puts her wellbeing and joy above all else. Plugging into what’s real has led me through the underworld of leaving impressive jobs and big relationships to embody my soul’s deepest longings and fall in love with my life.

For four years, I’ve been creating classes, resources, and a monthly newsletter here at The Retreat Space. My work is rooted in the care and liberation of all beings.

I’m now stepping into my calling to become a vocational coach and soul guide. By early 2025, I will be a nationally accredited and certified life coach, after intensive training with Martha Beck (Oprah’s life coach and one of my greatest teachers). Prior to this formal training, I had a 16-year career in art museum leadership, where I’ve mentored dozens of colleagues through work transitions, negotiations, and burnout recovery.

I’m a highly sensitive empath who’s an expert in emotions and self-care (Cancer Moon), a fiery trailblazer and preacher of what’s real (Sag Sun), and I’m here to shine my light and help others shine theirs (Leo Rising).

What else? I’m about to turn 41. I live in Boston and spend several weeks a year in Asheville, where my inner woodland creek fairy gets to run free. I’m married to my love and partner-in-crime, Neal. I come from an amazing creative family and have a magical group of soul sisters who support me through thick and thin. When I’m not coaching, I’m either dancing around the house, filling legal pads with my “deep” thoughts, or cooking (while dancing). I also adore time-bendy sci-fi, cheesy action thrillers, and even cheesier fantasy novels.


Here are three of my essays:
