I am rooted in tradition, and inspired by possibility.

I am a gatherer, community builder, and life enthusiast with a strong background in spirituality, wellness, and getting things done.

My passion lies in improving the overall wellbeing and quality of life for folks doing meaningful work in the world!

I empower individuals to enrich their personal lives with meaning and connection. Through 1:1 coaching, ceremonial leadership, and event production I support my clients in fostering fulfilling relationships, navigating life's transitions, and celebrating milestones with intention — for themselves and within the experiences they host for others (professionally or personally).

My holistic approach to event planning and production ensures a thoughtful and impactful experience for all involved. I combine tactical, problem-solving skills and attention to detail with a focus on individual and collective needs to create tailored events that result in memorable and transformational experiences for those involved.

When I’m not making dreams come true, you can find me cooking, hosting parties, doing yoga, dancing, spending time outdoors, exploring new places, getting dressed up, and clowning around.

I currently live in Santa Cruz, California with my husband and our two wily dogs.

Hello! My name is Mischa.

My Approach

I use a holistic lens in all that I do, especially in my coaching and ceremonial leadership. With an extensive background in spirituality and wellness, I aim to guide my clients toward balance and harmony through a variety of approaches. 

I enter each new client relationship and begin every project with an open mind, tailoring my offering to best support the unique needs of each client and situation.

My event planning weaves together personal coaching, collaboration, and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each event is a true reflection of our clients' values and vision.

I love creating extraordinary experiences that connect people to the magic of life and to each other. I am inspired by The Art of Gathering and incorporate many of Priya Parker’s tenets into my work.

In general, I aim to be helpful and inspiring. I am a team player, I love collaborating with others, and seeing the creative process unfold. I love being part of a dynamic team and thinking through solutions. I stay calm under pressure and tend to have a great ability to zoom out and see the big picture, remaining grounded and focused.

I call on my network of creative and inspiring event producers, photographers, musicians and ceremonialists to join the team as needed, to weave magic and depth into our gatherings.

As an ordained Hebrew Priestess, I come from a Jewish mystical tradition with a feminist, earth-based perspective. As a certified yoga teacher, IIN Health Coach, and a student of herbal medicine — I also draw on Eastern philosophy, mindfulness practice, and nature connection. I also love the Burning Man principles of Radical Self Care, Inclusion, Expression and Civic Responsibility (among other things).
