It is such a joy to see lightbulbs turn on and doors open for the people I work with. The coaching process leads to a whole universe of growth and fulfillment. The effects ripple out to touch so many; children, co-workers, neighbors, and extended families. It is the way I contribute to life on earth.

I am a certified professional co-active coach and relationship expert. I received my coach training and certification from the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and relationship systems training and certification from the Center for Right Relationship (CRR).

Many other experiences inform my work including yoga, (I’m a certified Kripalu instructor), mindfulness, Nonviolent Communication, a background in science, and years of work with families.

I know how fulfilling it is to live our dreams and I also know how scary it can be to take the leap from life as we know it to life as we dream it. In my early career I was fortunate enough manifest my early career dreams of working in the music business with an amazing 17-year career in that field. Another dream was to live in Ireland and doing “heart work.” I have just returned to California after living 2 ½ years in a wonderful small town on the West Coast of Ireland coaching people and conducting intuitive painting classes and workshops…a real dream come true.

Coaching has given me “work” I love and clients who constantly inspire me by their courage as they step into a bigger fuller life.
