Our Story
Kaje and Lori met way back in 2005 at a networking event. There was a strong connection and they just knew they had to get to know each other better. After an interesting, first date (they call it) where Kaje saved Lori’s life… literally, they knew they would stay friends. When Lori was leaving corporate America, after burning out, she turned to Kaje for advice on becoming a Coach. Since 2017 they’ve been tightly intertwined in each other's lives with the common goal of growing their respective coaching practices, enjoying every moment life throws at them, and supporting the humans they call clients with compassion, respect, and guidance.
Out of that passion…this retreat was born!
About Lori
Lori Prutsman (she/her), PCC is The Burnout Coach. A certified professional Integral and Enneagram coach, Lori knows that hard work equals success…until it doesn’t. That’s why Lori has dedicated her career to helping her clients abandon burnout and embrace authenticity.
Before leaving the corporate world to launch her coaching practice, Lori recruited top talent for Fortune 500 companies like Amazon and Booking.com, managing global recruiting teams responsible for critical hires that drove long-term success and innovation. Today, Lori utilizes Integral Coaching® techniques and the Enneagram to ignite personal and professional transformation in the individuals and teams she works with, giving them the space to dream big, set goals, and find the clarity they need to live more abundant lives. Her approach to integral coaching is comprehensive and intended to work with the whole person: mind, heart, and body.

About Kaje
Kaje Thomas (they/them) is a Certified Life Coach and the owner of No Bullshit Life Coaching. Kaje was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and began their private practice in 2006.
Kaje's path to becoming a coach was filled with difficult twists and turns, and they are continually grateful for the flexibility that they acquired. Their childhood and early adulthood were marked by struggle, pressure, judgment, and self-abandonment, which cultivated their street smarts, adaptability, empathy, and compassion. This history coupled with their own failures and mistakes has humbled and shaped them into the coach they are today. They've worked in over 20 different industries from construction to corporate America, broadening their understanding of humanity through diverse interactions.
At the age of 38, they began to pursue a psychology degree but shifted to coaching certification with Coach Training Alliance at age 40. They've worked with clients aged 12 to 81, focusing on emotional balance, navigating moments of choice, and compassionate listening as key tools for a happy and successful life.
Outside of work, they enjoy spending time with loved ones, beach time, meditating, music, and sports like frisbee, tennis, and basketball.
Your Weekend. Your Journey.
