Hello!
I am a Guide and facilitator with a background in clinical therapy, coaching and yoga. I am also an adventurer & travel lover, dog mom, trail runner, hiker and water lover. I love a good cup of coffee, a beautiful sunset and sunrise. I am passionate about connection, nature, and creating. I am also passionate about being of service to others and having a heart centered business.
I discovered there is sometimes a gap between declining and being in crisis and thriving and flourishing and excelling. Some people do not fit "diagnostic criteria" as a mental health disorder and may not benefit as much from therapy. However they may not feel like they are thriving or living a life that feels true to them. Hence where Well-Being Coaching comes in. Coaching is designed to support you to move into flourishing and thriving. Whether that is in your personal life and/or at work or in your business.
What makes me unique is I have 20+ years experience as a clinical therapist in addition to a strong skillset from ontological coaching, neuroscience and yoga. I tailor my approach to each individual and take an integrative approach, working with both the mind, body and soul.
What does it mean to live and work more consciously? To live consciously is to be open to perceiving the world around us and within us to understand our circumstances and to decide how to respond to them in a way that honors our needs and values. We can pursue our goals that are in alignment with our values with self-awareness. The current paradigm of churning and grinding is not working, however there is another way. A more conscious way.
I am passionate about supporting others to live with more joy and ease.
