Interpreter Oasis
A Space of Renewal, Reflection, and Reconnection for Sign Language Interpreters
Interpreting is hard work—on the body, the mind, and the spirit. For generations, interpreters were taught to wall off their hearts in the name of professionalism. Attending to their own well-being often felt selfish—or even unethical. But the truth is, working from an integrated, wholehearted foundation is not a liability—it’s a lifeline. It’s what allows interpreters to continue doing this work with resilience, clarity, and care.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, feeling isolated, questioning your role, or simply in need of rest—you belong here. Interpreter Oasis Programs offers personalized and communal support for sign language interpreters who are ready to reconnect with their purpose, their well-being, and their full humanity.

Coaching for Interpreters
One-on-one coaching offers a personalized and supportive space to address the unique challenges faced by sign language interpreters. Whether you're feeling the early signs of burnout, navigating compassion fatigue, or struggling with imposter syndrome, these sessions provide room to pause, reflect, and reconnect.
In a confidential environment, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your professional and emotional landscape with someone who understands the interpreting field. Together, we’ll develop protective factors like resilience, meaningful self-care, and boundary-setting. You’ll receive tools and compassionate strategies to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance, strengthen your confidence, and reclaim your sense of purpose.
This is more than problem-solving—it’s a path toward sustainability and joy in your career.

Small Group Coaching/Support Groups
Sometimes the most profound healing and growth happens in community.
The Peer Support and Consultation Model for Interpreters (PSCPI) offers a collaborative space where interpreters gather in small groups to reflect, share, and grow together. These sessions are designed to cultivate meaningful peer connections, reduce professional isolation, and offer space for honest, heart-centered dialogue.
In this circle of shared experience, you'll explore the joys and challenges of the work through group reflection, collaborative problem-solving, and structured peer support. You'll benefit from diverse perspectives, mutual accountability, and the grounding presence of colleagues who truly understand the demands of the field.
Together, you’ll build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and restore your connection to the work—all within a community of care.
