Coaching quite simply means that I partner with you to get where you want to go. If you are here, it is because something in your life isn’t working in the way that you’d like. My job as your coach is to help you tap into your inner wisdom and remove some of the obstacles (real or imagined) that are keeping you from thriving. As your coach, I will create a safe space for us to explore what’s working and what’s not. I do this through deep listening, gentle – but firm – inquiry, and helping you see the places where you may be holding yourself back. If you are feeling lost, confused, exhausted, or (fill in the blank) – my goal is to help you get back to your best self, find your truth & live a life that aligns fully with your spirit!

If you are like me, you want to know that the person coaching you has been through the wringer and come out the other side.  No platitudes here.  I am a seeker because I needed tools to help me make sense and heal my life. And I want to help you do the same. 

I have always been a student of spirituality and healing modalities. I learned Transcendental Meditation at 12 years old. I started studying A Course In Miracles in my late teens. I became a student of Thich Nhat Hanh and Pema Chodron in my early 20s.  When I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I found a way to remission inclusive of nutrition, herbs, meditation, journaling, affirmations, acupuncture, chiropractic, and Ayurvedic Medicine. 

As a person who has had chronic pain for years, I know what it is like to feel helpless and alone, to feel like a victim of my body and left behind by society.  But though I may not be doing an Ironman anytime soon, I’m no longer at the mercy of physical pain. I’ve made friends with it in a way that has calmed my nervous system and transformed my life. This has informed my approach to all pain whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. 

I was a caretaker for both of my parents during their terminal illnesses.  They died within years of each other and I completely fell apart after their deaths: (my symptoms included my hair falling out and major panic attacks). But over time and with much self-compassion, I’ve made peace with missing them. I believe grieving their deaths (and the loss of others close to me) has made me a stronger, more empathic person. It has shown me my path; My mission is to support others through their grief and painful transitions, to help transform suffering into joy.
