My Coaching Style
My coaching is a mixture of a friend, expert, been-there-done-that, listener, and deep questioner. We’ll start with a free 45-minute phone consultation to make sure I’m a good match for you. Once you’ve decided to hire me as your coach, I’ll send you my special forms that are fun and give you a chance to take a look at yourself in a new way. From there, we’ll begin our sessions and discover your dreams.
Let me help you create the fabulous life you’ve always wanted while gaining your dazzling authenticity.

My childhood influenced me
I was an Air Force brat. My mother married five times (one man twice!). Her last flight of love landed all five of us kids in child protective services because she was still married when she ran off with her new man. From all of these experiences, I developed courage and leadership skills.
The opportunity to reevaluate my life’s direction came when the publishing department I was leading was absorbed into the institution I worked for. When 9-11 shook the world and the stock market dived, money was lost, and the institution leaders decided a publishing arm wasn’t vital to their mission. After 18 years, I was no longer needed there.
I love teaching and working with people, which has always been a part of my work. I wondered where I would find a similar opportunity. I felt aimless—stuck.
I started to connect with parts of myself, my heart, my soul, my body through meditation and spirituality, in ways I’d never explored before.
Then I was gifted a month of coaching sessions. My coach helped me delve, dig, and discover myself. Eventually, this led me here, to fully dedicate myself to the work of helping other women rediscover their dreams.
I bring all my years of business experience, studies in spirituality, life knowledge, and coaching tools, including NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) to help my clients. I also offer Reiki and intuitive readings!
