The tools I learned are so useful and practical. Self wellness is important, and I thank you, Hilary, for making it the first lesson to take care of myself before tackling all other issues as a leader.

Hilary’s teaching style encourages participation by creating a safe place to communicate. The more people learn from these courses the easier it will be to communicate as we will all have these tools to create positive interactions.

Thank you for providing such a beautiful, safe space. Leaving today, I feel more confident in myself. I'm a superwoman, but even superwomen need to slow down sometimes.

You helped me realize what specifically is stressing me out, what triggers it, and how I can reframe. I have specific action items and a plan!

Thank you so much, Hilary! You provided a safe, comfortable environment to learn and share about our challenges with the hustle culture. I loved learning that the word "hustle" can be positive and that it can be practiced in an entirely different way that prevents burnout and instead, improves creative output and overall well-being.

I am so appreciative of the work you put into this workshop. I truly believe it is vital that this information and these skills are given to those who need it. Your tenacious ferocity for impacting the women's community and helping those around you has led you to embrace open-mindedness and given you the courage to change lives for the better. The skills I have learned and will implement are next level.

Hilary's class gave me additional actions to use while dealing with stressful situations...to realize when the “fight or flight” response begins to kick in, because the calmer and clearer you are thinking, the more positive results you will see in your decision making.

A simple to remember mantra has enabled me to address work issues without the nerves and fears that used to leave me uneasy. It’s a transformative tool to help us hear others without bringing judgment first. Ask Hilary how to learn it!

Hello, Friend.
With over a decade of experience at Stanford University and certifications in coaching, mediation, and facilitation, I teach real skills for real life — from emotional regulation to communication and confidence.
My background is based in professional training and lived experience, combining evidence-based tools like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with real-world application. I’ve worked with hundreds to help them break unhealthy patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
In 2024, I founded Into the Woods to offer mentorship that’s practical, compassionate, and deeply personal — because you deserve more than survival. You deserve to live a life you love.
Want Extra Support?
We’ll dig in, uncover what's holding you back, map out a plan, and work through it step by step—until you get where you want to be.

And, ME.
Hi Friend, I'm Hilary.
Into the Woods is how I show up as my best self—most days. It’s a space I built to teach the skills we were never taught in school: how to regulate emotions, hold boundaries, and treat ourselves with respect.
This work isn’t theoretical. It’s hands-on. Often uncomfortable. Always worth it.
Curious why I do this? Ask me. I’ve been through hell and back, and that story doesn’t belong in a website text box. It deserves time. And chocolate.
But if you already know you want to feel better—and you’re ready to work for it?
Prove it.
