Fireseed Facilitation

We are Daley Laing and Ingrid Tischer. We offer affordable anti-oppression informed supports for individuals, groups and organizations, and other practitioners. We value silliness, whimsy, and general merriment because lightness and joy are as much a part of who we are as coaches as curiosity, compassion, and accountability. Our practice includes coaching conversations, consulting, and workshops focused on systems impacting trans and gender diverse, queer, and disabled people. FireSeed centres the power of who we become as we survive personal and structural violence, and systemic ableism. It asks "what blooms after the fire" with the intention of supporting agency and autonomy to define what those fires mean to us and how we want to engage, heal, and transform them. Because affordability is an access issue, we offer coaching time on a sliding scale of $25-$125/session, with no one turned away due to lack of funds. FireSeed first started as a solo project, emerging out of Daley's continual call to centre feelings to help people flourish in the realm of social justice and liberation-oriented community organizing. And for many years, Daley did this sometimes lonely work of supporting individuals and organizations to align with the transformational futures they desired. And then Daley met Ingrid. Ingrid's coaching specializes in coping with ableism, internalized and otherwise, plus supporting people working to align their organization’s values and practices, all folks who want to connect with their authentic ambition and disconnect from their imposter syndrome. Ingrid also works with organizations on creating a culture of access and improving work-disability balance. We work independently and Daley, as the more experienced coach, informally oversees Ingrid's practice. We engage in conversations about what it means to practice ethically, and are committed to supporting each other to work in alignment with liberation and transformation.
