Here's how I coach...

    I have a direct and intelligent "let's-get-down-to-it" coaching style mixed with compassion and a whole lot of humor and fun. I intuitively know when to “poke you with a stick” and when to back off. My only goal is to help you achieve your goal, but you’ll be doing all the work. Don’t worry – you’ll also be getting all the credit and reaping the rewards!

    I believe you possess the key to unlock your perfect life; the ultimate realization of your potential for happiness. My role is to facilitate this process by asking powerful questions that allow you to turn that key and access this information about yourself. This is the core of the North Star methodology under which I am certified. The process includes a series of conversations and exercises that lead you to unveil more of your “essential self”, connecting you with what will truly make you happy.  
     I'll help you conquer your frustrating fears and limiting beliefs. Together we'll work to uncover your courage, set your intentions, move to take action and finally claim the extraordinary life you are meant to live.

my qualifications...
    I was hand selected, personally trained and certified in the North Star coaching methodology by Dr. Martha Beck, life coach and author of the best sellers Steering by Starlight, Finding Your Own North Star, Expecting Adam, The Four-Day Win and The Joy Diet. Martha is a member of Oprah Winfrey’s “Live Your Best Life” team.  

    Along with the Northstar philosophy, I also incorporate the powerful “Work” of Byron Katie, the Law of Attraction teachings of Abraham as taught by Jerry and Esther Hicks, and the work of many other teachers and mentors. 
    I love working with relationship challenges including marriage/partner, parent/child, boss/coworker and friends and family. I'm an expert at positive verbalization and fluid in the language of "win/win-ease".

my life experience.
    Prior to life coaching, I worked nearly 30 years in various leadership roles for both large and small corporations. My background in human resources, marketing, business, organizational dynamics and team-leading contributes to my understanding of the working environments many of my clients face. My simultaneous role as wife, mother, and network-business owner during many of these years provides me the understanding of the importance of balance between family and career, and the unquestionable necessity of time-for-self. My student-of-life encounters, especially with relationships are bountiful and have provided me valuable insight into the experience of being human.
