Hi I’m happy to have you here! I coach women (and a few good men) because I believe more women need to have a felt sense of their true worth and value. Being a Personal Development & Transformation Life Coach has led me to a fulfilling job that I find very rewarding and exciting! It fulfills a deep, purposeful drive to enrich lives.
I get to work from home in my woodland environment via the phone or Skype, enjoying being able to help people transform their Life and get their needs and desires met. I’ve lived a life close to nature, and have always been a curious soul, and committed to the inquiry of what makes the world go around.
The mission of my coaching practice to is help women and girls feel contentment, self-compassion, and confidence. This includes helping heal women’s hearts of pain, shame & fears, through changes in their perceptions. I love to assist others toward their own sense of Well-Being and satisfaction with Life.
This is done by uncovering limiting beliefs, then changing them to new empowered beliefs, getting in touch with their younger selves, utilizing the real Law of Attraction and the other Universal Principles, plus remembering to be kind and compassionate to themselves first. This leads to more confidence, courage, abundance, joy, and happiness, and the ability to get traction in their authentic goals and desires in Life.
My big picture vision is that we heal the earth as we work co-creatively to uplift the collective to vibrant health & wholeness.
My big delight in Life is adventuring out in nature. Not far behind is my love of learning and honing on my own personal growth and development. Being able to share what I’ve learned really gives me pleasure.
I’ve enjoyed living near mountain or river landscapes and kept up my sense of adventure even after a serious automobile accident changed my life forever. I now use a wheel-chair to get around and have done well, inspite of my physical limitations due to experiencing paraplegia.
I’ve stayed mobile with driving around in my great, sporty car that has become my favorite toy. I love to get out and sightsee, often taking great photos of the gorgeous scenery around me.
I learned how resiliant I am; I’ve dug deep into my core to find out how to manage my emotions, did a lot of Soul searching, and found my new sense of self worth. I enjoy my relationships in the world while navigating Life from a manual wheel-chair.
I won’t gloss it over, it has been challenging at times, however, I never gave up. I dug deep, strengthened my Spiritual connection, let go of limiting beliefs, did my Shadow work, let go of guilt and shame, and kept educating myself. Now my passion is to coach others toward their own sense of courage & confidence. I love sharing what I’ve learned along the way about how to open up and express one’s true gifts and talents.
I lived in Alaska for over 30 years and enjoyed all of the gorgeous mountains and cultural diversity, as shown in the 96 languages spoken in the Anchorage school district!
I explored the wonders of the Alaskan scenery while also exploring my own inner world too. I experienced some great counseling and coaching, that led to a lot of inner excavation and found my own version of happiness. I’ve recently moved back to southern Oregon and am enjoying the four seasons, big trees, clear rivers, and being near family.
I’ve discovered new ways of relating and Being. My goal is to share with others how to be happy with themselves and be able to move forward and get traction no matter what their Life circumstances are.
My “real job” was working 12 years as a Respiratory Therapist. I’ve explored holistic healing modalities all of my adult life including Reiki, herbal remedies, flower essences, therapeutic-grade essential oils, reflexology, emotional freedom technique, and more. I’ve studied Positive Psychology, Emotional Intelligence, Feminine Global Leadership, Archetypes, ThetaHealing, and the Mind/Body/Spirit connection.
Honing my psychological and spiritual growth toward a sense of Sustainable Well-Being is my thing; learning along the way that my connection to my interior landscape is important so I can stay grounded and present. I’ve discovered new ways of Being that creates more contentment for myself and others.
I went back to school after my accident and obtained degrees in Psychology, Cultural Anthropology and Human Services. I’ve studied and practiced counseling and coaching for many years. Several years ago, I had the privilege of learning from Dr. Eve Agee from the Transform Coaching Academy, www.transformcoachingacademy.com
She taught us great coaching processes that utilize the use of current neuroscience along with ancient healing traditions. I am thrilled to be a fully trained and Certified Transformational Coach. I’m now a member of the International Coaching Federation, one of my big goals in life. Yay!
