ABOUT ME

​

I’m not mainstream, and neither is my coaching. In a world that promotes uniformity, I honor my intuition and trust in my originality. And I love my work because I believe everyone possesses the same ability to rise above mediocrity.

People think they can ignore the little voices we hear in our heads that beat us up all the time. We have learned to put up with those little demon voices. Some of us listen to those whispers way too often and it becomes part of our inner-core thinking. We convince ourselves of the lies that we don’t even know are on repeat in our heads.

Our work there all starts with quieting insecurities by focusing on what makes you powerful. My work is founded on getting my clients to identify, discover and embrace what makes them different.

I help my clients harness their power and use it to their advantage. I believe all people possess the ability to create positive change in their lives and I am passionate about inspiring my clients to discover their voice and crush that self-doubt.

My coaching uniquely focuses on how professionals can advance their careers and goals by revolutionizing the way they see themselves. I create lasting change for entrepreneurs, creatives, business people, risk-takers and ambivalent dreamers who crave greater authority over their lives but who lack self-assurance. I help those willing to take a leap of faith and overcome fears to accomplish personal and professional breakthroughs.

If it sounds easy, it’s only because I’ve spent many years on my own road to self-empowerment. I know how difficult reshaping your attitude can be, so I take my experiences in life and apply the lessons I’ve learned to coach and motivate my clients. I draw inspiration from triumphs and letdowns, the setbacks and achievements and I personally connect with my clients because I know what it feels like to pick up the pieces after an epic struggle with life’s letdowns.

My path to coaching started with disappointment. With life seemingly in order and new beginnings on the horizon, I was everything but prepared for an infertility battle. What was supposed to be an exciting time in my life turned into a 10-year uphill climb to have children. Countless procedures, tests, injections and acupuncture left me feeling hopeless and completely alone. My hopes for the perfect family started vanishing.

Constantly adhering to a demanding fertility schedule and feeling like a failure with the lack of progress, My body took the physical hit of such high stress. I started suffering from daily migraines that culminated in a basilar migraine that left me temporarily blinded with an ambulance and trip to the hospital to top it off. Years of reproductive disappointment, feeling like I wasn’t enough and that I had no control over my own life and vision for how I was supposed to live it finally plummeted me to my rock bottom.

My experience in the back of the ambulance is what inspired my success story. I decided that I would conquer the obstacles I faced and find it within myself to reignite the fire that burned deep inside of me. I left a successful 20 year corporate career as an Employee Relations Director for a major company and dove headfirst into my “renaissance period.”

I refused to give up because that is my natural personality. I’m a pit bull at heart because I totally refuse to be told NO.

Feeling ready to take on the world, I then used her ferocious appetite for research and learning that led to a breakthrough. I was ready to start the next phase of my life — a more resilient phase. I used every self-development resource I could find to reshape my belief in my own destiny and began thinking about how I could use my story as an example for other women — and then an extended network of people —  looking to rewrite a disappointing story.

These were my sister warriors who needed support and I was absolutely determined to be the one who could be there for them in their time of need and desperation. Learning how to feel more confident and comfortable in your skin requires a coach who has walked in those same shoes and beat the odds every day.

Having found a way into a more meaningful and personal career and wielding a positive attitude, I then enrolled in a variety of programs and schools that helped me decide on a coaching niche. I was fascinated with the 'disconnect' between, the life a client envisions for his or herself, and where that person’s at in the process of realizing his or her dreams. I wanted to help my clients discover what makes them “tick” and how they could overcome negative feelings to become a more confident person.
