Coaching services designed to maximize connection, confidence and the courage to change through self-leadership and growth, in any area of life. Beyond my training as a certified professional coach through iPEC, and a life-time of mastering change, I've sought to train in additional techniques and modalities that quickly reach the core of any change dilemma. These include the Minds at Work Immunity to Change exercise facilitation and Moving the Human Spirit's trauma-informed coaching certification.

My fascination with how people change began a long time ago, leading me to develop myself through various pathways of growth and healing. Bodywork led to therapy, which led to energy-related healing with acupressure and intuitive counseling, and also practicing as a Zen Buddhist. Despite becoming a coach to help others transform, I wondered if I had reached the limit on my own growth and equilibrium until I began exploring the role of trauma in the lives of my clients and in my own life. To my surprise, I discovered entirely new levels of improved functioning for myself. What I had experienced and learned also allowed me to support clients in working through their most vexing issues to regain control over their lives and decision-making processes.

When we've lost our sense of safety to trauma, its absence impacts every facet of our lives, and in ways we may not realize. I found I had been experiencing my life at far less than full feeling capacity. Until I stepped onto the pathway of healing trauma, bringing it out of the shadows in my life and not just coping with its effects, only then did I discover what life and connection could be like from the perspective of safety. But we might not know that we need trauma-informed support until we encounter a situation in our lives that we cannot resolve and have the right type of insight available. For clients who wish to unravel the role of trauma in their lives through coaching, nothing I do is more rewarding than watching them connect the dots between their experiences and the role of trauma, and discovering a path does exist to the life they want.
