At just nine years old, these words ignited my first awakening, inspiring me to dedicate my life to making the world a better place for all.  I’ve studied with many teachers and philosophies, always with an eye toward growing into my potential and supporting others to do the same.

I pursued degrees and certifications in human development, nutrition and biochemistry, neuropsychology, eating psychology, compassion and mindfulness, communication, management and leadership, and mediation. From within roles of advocacy and leadership, I focused on individual and group development, co-creating possibilities with people from all walks of life, whether in poverty, poor health, or other challenging circumstances.

In 1999, I discovered coaching, aligning my purpose and skills into one fulfilling journey. With two decades of experience, I've guided and trained individuals and teams, fostering lives of meaning, growth, and joy. I feel grateful beyond measure to be able to do this work. 

Unlike some, I don’t pretend to have it all together. Life just isn’t that way. Depression, anxiety, and eating challenges have been companions on my life journey, yet they led me to profound transformation and formed me into a compassionate human and skilled practitioner.

Today, my journey continues on the serene coast of Maine where I reside with my husband, Don, and our sweet canine companion, Jack.
