Life always provides challenges, surprises and opportunities. The question is ‘how do we respond? Will we resist it? Let it derail us? Or will we approach it gracefully with a fluidity and willingness to move with life rather than against it.

I define grace as our ability to receive what life hands us and move with it. Like many, I’ve been thrown off my game, I’ve missed the gentle knocks or messages that I get from life (God or universe) and sometimes life’s challenges have taken me to my knees. But here’s the thing… I’ve learned that no matter what the circumstance is, whether its delightful or downright debilitating emotionally or spiritually, life’s challenges are an opportunity to learn, to grow and to evolve.

At the heart of my coaching is a deep desire to help people learn to listen to and trust themselves in a wholehearted way. That means checking in with the trio; your head, heart and gut. We are so inundated with messages and noise from outside forces that we often forget to ask ourselves “What do I want? What’s important for me?” I absolutely believe that we, each of us, are the expert on ourselves. Taking the time to recognize and respond to the sometimes subtle knowing of our soul can bring us the peace and freedom that we all seek.

I started coaching in 2007 after a 20+ year career in Human Resources. I received my coaching education through Coach Inc., completing both the Core Essentials and Advanced Coaching Programs. I am a member of, and hold the designation of Associate Certified Coach, from the International Coach Federation and maintain this designation through continuing education programs. I am a Points-Of-You ® practitioner and use these tools in my coaching and in personal and professional development workshops.

Being a Coach allows me to have my life’s work align with my values of family, integrity and contribution and utilizes what I believe are my God given skills and abilities. I bring my whole self to my coaching ~ I am intuitive, business minded and an idea generator. I am a role model of what it takes to do the transformative work that is available through coaching; being fully present, vulnerable and courageous. I am honored and grateful to accompany my clients through the ebbs and flow in their lives, loves, work and play.
