People who are ready for change, growth and transformation and are ready to accept support toward that end. Most have tried to change on their own – self-help books, podcasts, diets, and exercise routines – all with short-term, limited success. Now they are looking for a more profound, longer-lasting shift.

I often work with strong, smart, talented women. Women who are used to doing it all on their own. Women who take care of “everything” and take on too much. Women who struggle saying no, establishing boundaries, delegating, or who tend to always please others first and put themselves last. Women who are the last to ask for help. Women who on the outside, project as strong, successful, and accomplished (because they are:- )) yet on the inside, are depleted, filled with self-doubt, self-criticism, and worry. Many women I work with feel stuck, have low self-esteem or motivation. Many feel they are meant for something else but aren’t sure what that is.

If any of that resonates, let’s connect.

I believe that every person has within them what they need to succeed. As your coach, I help you draw that out. Utilizing strengths-based coaching techniques combined with trauma-informed somatic (body) practices like meditation, yoga, breath work, and journaling, I offer holistic somatic life coaching that welcomes your whole person – mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually – to help you gain wise insight and create positive change and transformation.

I am deeply and personally influenced by somatic, or body, practices such as meditation, breath work, yoga and journaling that calm and connect our bodies and mind so that we can reestablish relationship with our self and envision a path forward that is aligned with our true nature. These practices have supported for me for more than 20 years as I have navigated grief and loss, major life and career changes, parenting struggles, illness, and more.

I incorporate somatic work into our coaching sessions to ensure we are inviting your whole self to the table as we prepare for transformative change.

Why? Our minds, bodies, and spirit are connected. As Bessel van der Kolk’s book avows, The Body Keeps the Score. Therefore, for profound, lasting change we need to access and work with our whole self. If we focus on just one aspect and discount or exclude the presence or power of another, we limit our ability to grow.

Many of us grow disconnected from our bodies and senses over time. We compartmentalize parts of ourselves and are often conditioned to override our essential connections, innate senses, and inherent intuition. As a result, we may operate from a place of well-worn habit versus conscious choice. We may unconsciously ride the tides of old stories and behaviors that may have served us once, but no longer do. We may try to think or talk ourselves into a new way of being, but the result is usually temporary.

Curious if coaching is for you? Let’s connect to see.

Some of my most significant influences are Thich Nhat Hanh, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Rick Hanson, Dr. Gabor Mate, Arielle Schwartz, Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges, Richard Schwartz, Pema Chodron, and Kristin Neff among many other amazing guides.

We begin with a complementary discovery call where we meet via Zoom. If we are a good fit, we will set our first 60 min session.

I offer 3, 6, and 12 session packages to choose from.

Not quite clear on your goal or vision? No worry. That is part of the process and the work.
