About Me
I am passionate about the work I do because it is deeply aligned with my own life experience and who I am. I have walked this path before you.
A few years ago, I went through a very challenging period in my life. I experienced great loss – first, the loss of a relationship and later, the loss of my father. At the same time, my professional life became very demanding. I was working long days under extreme stress.
The physical, mental and emotional exhaustion of that period took its toll on me. It left me feeling depressed and disconnected. I took a month-long vacation from work to rest and relax. When I returned, I felt physically rested, but I still felt disconnected from everything. A year later, I moved across the country for a few months in search of a change of scenery. I was looking for time and space to think. It was a wise decision and an important turning point for me. I returned home with a fresh perspective, inspired to find a way to reconnect and re-engage with my life.
My path took an unexpected turn, however. Just as I was beginning to get back to my life, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was devastating. It was a hard stop on everything I was doing, as I now had to shift all my energy to focus on my health. I was fortunate in that my treatment only required surgery. The physical healing was relatively easy; the hard part was the emotional healing. During the period of my recovery, I spent many long, quiet days being gentle with myself. Those quiet days turned out to be a gift. From that place of quietness, I found the voice in my heart that led me to the healing that I needed to become whole, happy and inspired to help others find their way.
My journey led me through Buddhism, where I developed deep compassion and patience; shamanism, where I connected more deeply with spirituality and learned how to support healing, both my own and that of others; and finally to coaching, where I learned how to create a supportive space to facilitate self-discovery and guide others toward a place of alignment and aliveness.
Through my journey, I discovered the joy of sharing in the unveiling of one’s heart and soul. Coaching is a place where I find alignment and aliveness. I am continually inspired by each and every beautiful spirit that I have the honor to work with. It makes my heart happy to help others to live life fully with purpose and joy.
