WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT YOU:

You are whole and resourceful. You are magical and powerful. You are a being of infinite worth surrounded by unconditional love. We are born knowing these truths, but our culture works to obscure them from our consciousness. Finding happiness and fulfillment isn’t about discovering who you are, but about Remembering your innate magnificence. I see how hard you've been struggling; I know your frustration, I feel your desire for change. I am here to meet you where you are with real support.

WHY I LOVE COACHING WOMEN:

Our struggles are universal and you are not alone.  I am devoted to helping women break free from the crushing limitations of male-supremacist patriarchy and capitalism. It is vital self-care to continually reclaim our true power and worth. 
I will empower you to live authentically and expansively, as is your birthright. I love to witness the changes clients create for themselves and the waves of transformation that flow to their friends, families, communities, and workplaces.

 A TURNING POINT (one of many):

I was adopted as a baby by a loving family.  Despite my good fortune and their best intentions, I carried the sense that I wasn’t worth keeping.  I was deeply hungry for approval, belonging and love, while feeling desperately lonely and unable to connect in my relationships - friends, family, lovers.  I knew no one else in the world “like me,” so I imagined I was dropped to Earth in a space pod to explain my alienation and pain.

One day, a friend witnessed me fantasizing about my loving, magical, ideal world and she declared, “You’re not from outer space. You’re the Last Unicorn!” Suddenly, my otherness became a special gift, my beautiful way of interacting with the world. That shift in identity freed me from my story of rejection and loneliness and created waves of change in every area of my life.

​I saw how we can live and die by our stories, even when they are painfully incomplete versions of who we are.  So I devoted myself to learning how to help myself and others liberate ourselves from our inner blocks; to create new stories, beliefs and identities that align with our true self, our gifts and our purpose for a life of meaning and fulfillment.

WHY I'M CALLED TO SERVE:

Purpose and passion have fueled me for as long as I can remember. My road to professional coaching, however, was wild and winding - Art student, Waitress, Club Owner, Rock Star, Decorative Artist, Organizer,  Healer.  As a Perpetual Student of Life, my divine curriculum was seen by some as a wandering path without a purpose. I know now that non-linear path was my Soulway -  strengthening me through challenges and awakening me through magical connections so that I can support others in their quest to feel good about their life.  I feel certain that I was born to do this!
