Los Angeles
Team offsite and retreat facilitation
I design and lead team offsites, leadership retreats, and workshops for startups and companies in Los Angeles and Southern California. I work in person across Los Angeles, including Santa Monica and West LA, plus Orange County and Southern California. Virtual is available too.
It is my passion to help groups go deeper with themselves and with each other, in a room that feels safe and usable for everyone. I lead sessions on mindfulness and personal development through executive coaching and experience design.
I have led group activations for startups, corporations, and private gatherings on visioning, aligning personal and professional whys, life mission statements, and imposter syndrome. I also lead breathwork, group meditation, and cacao ceremonies when that fits the group.
If you want an event people still talk about on Monday, I am ready to build it with you.
Formats
- 60 to 90 minutes, for a staff meeting, ERG, or conference breakout.
- Half day, when you want vision and a real conversation.
- Full day, for an offsite that has to produce a plan.
- Multi-day retreat, when the team needs more than a single afternoon.
How an engagement runs
- Discovery call, so I understand the team and the stakes.
- Pre-interviews with a few people, so the agenda is not generic.
- A written agenda you can react to.
- The room itself, in Los Angeles or wherever in Southern California you are gathering.
- A short summary of what was decided.
- A 30-day and a 60-day check-in.

Teams I have facilitated for include Doveras, Moonlab Productions, Alchemy Sales Coaching, and the women’s investment group Femmevest. Their words are below.
Meredith facilitated such an incredible experience and everyone was blown away at her ability to make everyone feel welcome and seen and heard. After the event, I was so impressed that I asked her to be a coach within my Alchemy community.
Our team was able to set their intentions, work through learnings from the previous year, and we were able to work together as a team and really manifest what we want this next year to look like as a group. Meredith is a great facilitator and has so many modalities that she specializes in. I feel grateful to have her a part of my ecosystem.
Meredith helped facilitate the programming for a recent retreat for Femmevest, an investment group for women across the U.S. At the retreat, Meredith facilitated a cacao ceremony, yoga practice, and workshop on financial wellness. During the workshop, Meredith unlocked insights and outcomes for us all. Personally, I gained clarity into my relationship with money, unpacking shame, guilt, and generational influences. Another woman shared that the retreat was deeply powerful, especially when they set goals. Meredith's yoga training enables her to lead practices as well as show up with a poignant, grounding energy.
Meredith brought both structure and spontaneous magic with her session at our very first corporate retreat. We explored communication styles, boundary expectations, fears and reframing fears, expectations, and how to bring our highest selves to work that could also influence our personal lives. In a matter of few hours our team felt like they got to know core parts of each other. It brought an openness and new level of respect for each other. I still refer back to the notes from the session to remind myself of how I should best motivate and communicate with our team. Her work had an impact that lasted beyond the immediate retreat session.
