Rekindling connection – to self, one another and the living world
Lu Olden – integral coach | facilitator | ecological practitioner
For those who sense there is another way of living, working and relating
Often, those who arrive here have discovered that the moments they feel most alive are surprisingly simple: walking barefoot outdoors, conversations with loved ones, working with their hands, noticing birdsong, sharing a home-cooked meal.
They’ve also discovered that those moments are becoming harder to find.
Many of the people I work with are raising children, running businesses and keeping a few hundred balls in the air each day while quietly
have outgrown what feels familiar (cycles, patterns, places, purpose, people … ), but can’t quite see what’s next – or how to get there.
Perhaps you've built a life that looks good on the outside, yet something no longer fits.
Perhaps you're successful in your work, but it comes at the cost of your health.
Perhaps you've outgrown a relationship, a role, a business or an identity that once fitted you well.
Or perhaps nothing dramatic has happened at all.
You've simply started paying attention to what gives you life—and what quietly drains it.
Doing all the things, yet something is missing. And it’s hard to figure out where to from here. Does something need to shift in your external world, or is there an inner shift that will allow the pieces to “click”?And every time they try, their confidence falters and they cycle back to what they know. They feel stuck while longing for ease and flow – within themselves, in family life and at work. And they struggle to carve out the time and space to figure it all out and take action.
Integral Earthways offers that time and space – to slow down, pay attention and explore what’s really going on – and why it matters.
I work through a three-lens framework that supports you from the inside out – and from the outside in.
, integral, relational and ecological –
If this sounds familiar, welcome.
Integral coaching offers a space to slow down, pay attention, and explore what's really going on – and why it matters. Together, we'll make sense of where you are and what's changing, identify what matters most, and take practical steps towards a way of living that feels more YOU and reflects your values.
It’s a space for dreamers and doers, who need a nudge and a hand to hold them steady in times of transition, whether that’s changing your home or your job, or rewriting your story from the inside out.
As you explore these pages, you'll find out more about my work and the path that brought me here.

“My husband and I started working with Lu in September 2022. We had recently become parents, moved continents and settled into new work environments. Lu exhibits a unique sense of perspective. She listens attentively and, through her questions, is able to support you in quickly getting to the crux of a situation. Lu has been a vital resource in our family and we are excited to continue building our relationship and working towards our goals.”
