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.
