You've Done the Work.

Now Let's Go Deeper.

Intensive transformation coaching, relationship design, and heart-centered leadership consulting.

Rooted in 23 years of clinical wisdom and lived experience.

Where do you want to start?

I'm Esther Boykin, LMFT, a TEDx speaker, licensed therapist, and founder of two brands devoted to helping smart, successful people stop going through the motions and start being whole. Whether you're navigating your inner life, your partnership, or your organization's culture, I create the container. You do the work.

  • For You

    For high-achieving individuals ready to come home to themselves.

    You've read the books. Done the therapy. Know all the right language. And still, something feels off. Life looks fine on paper, but feels hollow inside. You're not broken. You're ready for something deeper.

    Sovereign Self is a half-day intensive coaching experience for individuals who are done tiptoeing and ready to dive in — to unpack what's been compartmentalized and face the fullness of who they are, with compassion as the container.

  • For Your Relationship

    For couples ready to stop going through the motions and design the relationship they actually want.

    You're not necessarily in crisis. But you're not quite thriving either. You know something needs to shift, and you're both ready to do something about it. This isn't traditional couples therapy. This is your relationship, by design.

    Devoted Partnership Weekend Intensives give you one or two full days of immersive, personalized coaching with my full attention on you and your dynamic. You build heat. You stay in it. Real clarity emerges.

  • For Your Organization

    For leaders and organizations ready to turn care into culture.

    Wellness initiatives that don't stick. Leaders who care deeply but keep hitting walls. Teams that look fine until they don't. I bring 23 years of clinical expertise and 16 years of running a company to the work of helping organizations build cultures where people and performance can both be well.

    Through workshops, keynotes, and strategic consulting, I help teams stop treating burnout as a personal failure and start building the structural conditions for sustainable care.

Reclaiming Your Story

NOW ENROLLING - REGISTRATION CLOSES MARCH 21

An 8-Week Online Course for People Ready to Stop Abandoning Themselves

You know the pattern. You've named it, read about it, maybe even talked through it in therapy. But knowing isn't the same as changing. Reclaiming Your Story is an 8-week online course that uses creative expression and real-time coaching to help you do what awareness alone never quite could.

Teaching, community, and direct access to my guidance, all in one intimate, living container. This is the Founding Cohort, which means the lowest price this program will ever be, and a group small enough that you will actually be seen.

The cohort closes March 21. Limited spots are remaining.

CLAIM YOUR SPOT

This Is an Evolution, Not a Pivot.

I spent more than two decades sitting across from brilliant, exhausted people who had tried everything — therapy, retreats, self-help, mindfulness apps. They weren't broken. They were ready. Ready to stop dancing around what was beneath the surface and stay present with it long enough for something real to shift.

So I evolved. Not away from the clinical training that shaped me, but into the work I've been building toward all along.

I'm not here to heal you. I'm a doula for your transformation. I create the container. You birth the shift.

Whether I'm working with an individual ready to come home to themselves, a couple designing the partnership they actually want, or a leader building a culture where care is more than a policy — the work is always the same. Depth. Presence. Truth.
