​

When I was in my early forties, I was working full time as a project manager, was married and had two young boys.  I also was completely overwhelmed with my life and my obligations. 

​

The phrase that kept banging around in my head was “Is this all there is to life?”.  I wasn’t suicidal, but I certainly was far from happy.  In my search for meaning and happiness I found a number of great teachers, as well as people who coached me and communities that supported me.  I learned that it’s much easier to walk this journey with others – feeling seen, heard and understood, i.e. loved unconditionally.  Without that kind of love we shrivel up inside and act out in many unkind and even mean ways.  I started learning new ways of seeing the world and making changes in how I interacted with my family.  Over time, my family life and my happiness and stress levels improved enormously.  Today I have a very different relationship with my adult sons.  And – even though my marriage ended, we had – what you could call – a peaceful divorce, and my ex-husband and I have an amicable relationship now.

​

When my divorce was over, I listened to my inner voice and went in a different direction professionally.  Since I had already done many years of intense emotional growth work for myself, I wanted to continue that work and help others avoid the mistakes I had made.  In 2011 I received my coaching certification, and I continue my training by regularly attending workshops and studying different personal growth approaches.  My teachers include Byron Katie (“The Work”), many therapist authors (like Gabor Mate, Brad Reedy, Richard Schwartz, and others), a number of Buddhist psychologists/teachers (Adyashanti, Anam Thubten, Tara Brach) and many different mindfulness teachers.

 

Along the way I have discovered a rich spiritual life that supports me with my meditation practice and retreats.  Most importantly though, I receive support and guidance from my own coaches regularly.

 

Today I coach people from throughout the US and around the world – helping them lead happier, more fulfilling and productive lives and enjoy their relationships.

​

I also regularly host in-person relationship workshops.
