Leadership doesn’t always look loud.
This is a space for those carrying more than their title shows.
Welcome to The Oak Institute—a space for tools, teachings, and community devoted to the soul work of leadership, teaching, parenting, and care.
For the ones who carry more—this is a place for reflection, healing, and truth-telling.
A soft landing. A deep re-rooting. A beginning—or a return.
I’m Tricia. I walk with people through things that don’t have clear instructions—like parenting a neurodivergent child. Like leading from the heart in systems that weren’t built for care.
Everything here is part of a healing path you’re invited to walk—not perfectly, but with presence.
Hi. I’m Tricia.
I’ve always been the one asking deeper questions—about care, about leadership, about how we’re really doing under the weight of what we hold.
I’m a reflective supervisor, educator, writer, trained designer, somatic practioner, and the parent of a profoundly dyslexic child. What ties it all together? A commitment to emotional truth, advocacy of the heart, and the kind of presence that makes people feel seen.
I created The Oak Institute for those walking non-linear paths—leaders, educators, parents, healing practitioners and caregivers growing through the inner work of showing up.
You’re here. That’s enough. And I’m here with you.
The Work We Do
Reflective Supervision & Emotional Leadership
For professionals carrying too much—and being asked for even more.
We offer reflective supervision for space-holders: early childhood leaders, K-12 leaders, therapists, guides, teachers, and anyone in the work of holding others.
The Dyslexia Healing Journey
A self-paced course for parents navigating dyslexia through the lens of lived experience, emotional healing, and heart-centered advocacy.
For the parents who’ve googled themselves into paralysis. Who’ve questioned the system—and themselves.
This is for you.
Wisdom Keeper Journey
A deeper path for those being called into integrative leadership—where lineage, lived experience, and inner knowing meet.
This is for educators, caregivers, and soul-guides reclaiming their authority not through perfection, but presence.
Stories, essays, and reflections Tricia is living.
Emotional leadership, advocacy of the heart, and inner seasons of care work—shared over on Substack.

The Deep
A quiet podcast for the thinkers and feelers. A handful of episodes so far—real stories, slow questions, no performance. Just what’s true.
Perfect for a solo walk, a moment in the car alone, or when you just need to feel less alone yourself.
Support that meets you where you are.
This is work we don’t do alone.
Whether you’re a leader, a parent, a practitioner, or a partner in this work—we’d love to hear from you.
