Meet the Founder
La-Mine Perkins, MSW | Certified Life Coach Founder and Principal Consultant, Nurtured Seasons Coaching & Consulting
I’m La-Mine Perkins, founder of Nurtured Seasons Coaching & Consulting. I started Nurtured Seasons because I believe healing is strategy, and structure can be liberating. My work focuses on helping people and organizations build systems that are fair, sustainable, and centered on care.
My path into this work began with my own experiences navigating systems that weren’t always built for everyone to thrive. That led me to a career in social work, where I spent years supporting youth, families, and teams—designing trauma-informed programs and helping others lead with empathy and integrity.
Today, I focus on what I love most: behind-the-scenes support that helps people and programs grow. Sometimes that means coaching a leader through a hard transition, sometimes it’s guiding a team through strategic planning, and sometimes it’s creating tools that make the work easier to sustain.
At Nurtured Seasons, we believe:
- Healing is not optional—it’s part of the plan.
- Equity isn’t a buzzword—it shows up in how systems run.
- Rest isn’t a reward—it’s a right.
Whether you’re leading a program, starting something new, or simply rebuilding your rhythm after burnout, you belong here.
