Lydia Menendez Parker

As prior Assistant Director of the Vermont River Conservancy, I worked with landowners and partners across landscapes to protect riverlands and swimming holes. With a Masters of Science in Ecological Planning from the University of Vermont, Field Naturalist / Ecological Planning program, I am trained to discover and interpret the intertwined web of life that surrounds us. With my Green Mountain United Way Financial Coaching Certificate, I have the skills to guide you towards achieving your money goals.

How we live with the earth and how we relate to money are interrelated: money is a currency of our life energy, and the earth supports all life as we know it. How do you earn, save, and spend your life energy?

In our complex world, do you want to live your values on the land and in your community? Do you wonder how to put your ideals into action? Eco-Life coaching will support your values-based decision-making to align your actions with your values.

In our complex society, do you want design your money reality with confidence and clarity? Do you strive to understand and decide how money flows through your life? Do you want your money to support how you live your values in the world?

Lydia will collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals. As your coach, she will:

  • help you illuminate your values and root your life in them,
  • support the deep inner-knowing and wisdom guiding your life,
