The Life Somm Method

At the heart of Pam’s work is The Life Somm Method, a creative framework that blends life coaching and storytelling through the language of wine.

It invites you to explore your blend, your vintage, and the experiences that have shaped your unique flavor. Whether through reflection prompts, workshops, or mindful tasting, the method turns self-discovery into something personal, sensory, and meaningful.
