WHAT I DO

First and foremost, I see each of my clients as already creative, whole, resourceful, and full of infinite potential to fulfill their deepest desires and reach their goals. My job is to help my client see that too!

 

For many of us, conditioning, judgement, fear, and limiting beliefs stand in our way of thriving at our peak level of self. We are functioning but feel dissatisfied. On the outside, we may even be excelling but inside we feel unfulfilled. And often our awareness is hindered by the chronic stressors of daily life, not to mention more acute sources of stress such as a major illness, loss, or other trauma. We are merely surviving.

​

Through the coaching process, clients begin to peel back the layers of their unique survival mechanisms and get in touch with the purity, beauty, strength and love that is already who they are. Once clients gain clarity about who they are, they establish a deeper connection to their own inner wisdom, and with honest and patient collaboration, clients discover what tools work best for them to take the next steps towards fulfillment. They build confidence to do and be whatever their heart desires and move from surviving to thriving!

​

Some reasons clients come to me for coaching:

• Feeling stuck in self-doubt or overwhelmed by a major life change

• Help managing stress and cultivating calm

• Looking to acquire and maintain healthier lifestyle habits

• Fears around embarking on a new business/career

• Anxiety around the "Empty Nest"

• How to cope with aging and ailing parents

• Challenges around Menopause

• Desire to heal relationship wounds

• How to love again after divorce

• How to strengthen relationships with teenagers/ or young adult children

• How to move forward after loss of a parent, friend or mentor

• First steps/next steps in a new opportunity

• Help finding more joy and purpose in life

​​

With the use of deep listening and keen insight, I support, challenge, and guide my clients to get unstuck from wherever they are, and to take a deep look at what's getting in their way of success. To do this I offer clients opportunities to cultivate awareness, explore purpose, establish a more positive mindset, work on goal setting, practice self-compassion and uncover roadblocks in their path.

 

As a Chopra Coach, my training draws from the best practices in health and life coaching methodology, neuroscience, and positive psychology. Some of the coaching modalities utilized include visualization exercises, somatic processing, mindset shifting, mindfulness techniques, journaling, affirmations, grounding techniques, and guided meditations. As a certified Primordial Sound Meditation Teacher and Chopra Health Instructor, I am qualified to teach clients silent mantra-based meditation and can introduce them to the principles of Ayurveda, the holistic life science of ancient India, to enhance their well-being practice.

​

All coaching conversations are strictly confidential. My intention is to provide a safe space for clients to honestly explore personal challenges and feel into their own inner voice where solutions are abundant.

COACHING CAVEAT

Some of our time together will feel affirming and positive, while other times may feel difficult and uncomfortable. But rest assured, you (the client) are in the driver’s seat. This is your journey to well-being, not mine. So, wherever you want to go, wherever you are ready to go, that’s where I will meet you and that’s where we will go. As your mentor, however, I will invite you to see adversity as an opportunity for growth and, effort as a means to achieve your goals.

 

High levels of achievement, success and happiness require commitment and a willingness to look inward. It takes courage and compassion to dig deep and shed light on the ways we get in our own way. I believe humans are incredibly strong and resilient. We all possess an “inner badass” capable of much more than we typically imagine. I know that with hard work, trust, and time we can heal, grow and move forward.

 

So, ask yourself:

“Where am I today? And where do I want to go?

Where do I want to be a year from now? Five years from now?

What will it take to step into my wholeness and shine authentically & brightly?

What am I waiting for?!"

MY BACKGROUND

My path to where I am today has definitely not been a straight one. I've always possessed an entrepreneurial spirit which led me weaving this way and that through various creative pursuits. After college I spent about 20 years working in the entertainment industry - originally as an actress, where I supported myself as a personal trainer, massage therapist, restaurant employee, and administrative assistant to film executives. I took two 5 year intermissions, first as an e-commerce business owner, and next as a real estate agent. Eventually, I joined forces with my husband to help manage a film distribution company as a means to utilize my many talents, earn a living, and maintain a flexible schedule while raising our 2 children.  But once our kids became independent and later went off to college, I felt a longing for more purpose and fulfillment in my life.

​

I've been passionate about mental health and personal well-being my entire life. However, it wasn't until I discovered meditation and subsequently began working with a life coach that I realized my true calling was to compassionately lead others to fulfill their dreams through coaching. Feeling discontented in my personal and professional life, I worried about my future and, after a recommendation from a friend, I turned to meditation to help relieve the stresses that weighed on me. The practice of meditation gave me the opportunity to look inward, where I began to understand myself more clearly and tap into my inner wisdom. Furthermore, I gained confidence in my strengths and abilities. I knew I wanted to help others, but how? That's when I hired a life coach.

 

Working with a coach showed me the power of my own voice. I learned how to challenge the many limiting beliefs I'd heeded most of my life. I discovered my unique purpose and reinforced my strengths and talents. My perspective shifted on so many levels and above all, I began to experience my life with more gratitude, joy and courage.
