MY STORY
Professional Certified Coach, Coach Trainer, Mentor Coach and Mindfulness Teacher.
I now live my purpose—to support others in their healing and awakening, thus discovering their beautiful life.
Like you perhaps, I was out of alignment. I couldn't find a clear destination or a clear path. I felt the discomfort of internal conflict—striving to be what I thought I was "supposed" to be according to unexamined standards, while living a life that in truth felt like I was living in someone else’s skin.
I was struggling, and unable to find relief. My life wasn’t working for me and something had to give.
I became intentional about looking for deeper meaning and understanding. Over years, I pursued psycho-spiritual trainings, earned a Masters in Consciousness Studies, became a certified coach, yoga instructor, and mindfulness teacher, and read volumes about trauma and healing modalities.
I worked (and still do work) with skilled and loving Internal Family Systems practitioners.
This has been my Hero’s journey. Through it, I have become intimate with my internal world and have awakening to my true nature, which like all beings, is whole, wise, loving, and good.
I now live attuned to my true nature, trust that I am a vessel for Spirit to do work that makes a difference, and rely on the universe conspiring for me.
Over 10 years ago, I left my marketing career and dedicated my work to what had been calling me for so long—to support others on their Hero’s journey to healing and awakening.
Due to my personal work and my work in the world, I now experience greater compassion, wholeness, contentedness, hopefulness, freedom, confidence, and acceptance of my gifts.
When I finally listened deeply to what was calling, I found myself here.

MORE ABOUT ME
I live in Portland, ME. I am also blessed to spend my summers on a lake in the woods in the beautiful little town of Wayne. While I enjoy the diverse offerings of the city, I also know the rhythm of nature soothes me. I am blessed to have access to both.
I have a loving and supportive husband, and a step-son who is now a young man. My two cats, Pudge and Siddhartha, keep me laughing on a daily basis.
My interests include traveling, cooking, hiking, skiing, gardening, and creating spaces for beauty and joy to arise. I have a daily practice that includes yoga, meditation, and a spiritual reading.
