After twenty-five years,
I chose to dismantle a successful career
and create a life true to myself.
I became a life coach to help others do the same—to help them lead lives aligned with their values, passions, and aspirations.
Coaching brings together many of my life experiences: from my twenty-five years at Fortune 500 companies to my current life as a creative; from my nearly lifelong meditation practice to the active listening skills I’ve honed as an interviewer; from my study of breath work, dreams, and intuition to my interest in performance and resilience.
And I absolutely love life coaching.
It is such an honor when someone welcomes me to be part of their personal journey. It’s always an engaging, productive, illuminating experience.
