I'm made to do this work - it's a mix of practical and profound.

The profound is that I teach the power of being You in your life, whether it's in your parenting, work, relationships or any other important aspect.  There is nothing more powerful than you in alignment with your essence and aliveness. 

I was born with the ability to see people at their essence level.  It's a seeing that comes from the heart, a loving gaze that takes in what is amazing.   It took me a long time to understand that's what was happening and that everyone didn't experience the world this way.  

This work is also intensely practical, which is why people experience such positive results. 

We work with the real situations happening in your life - where worry is stemming from and how it reveals your gifts when we listen deeply and you access your wisdom.

It is a blend of profound love mixed with highly practical application that equals overall much more of your true self being integrated into life, which means you feel more peace and fulfillment. 

You can understand why when people meet me, they might be confused and have trouble placing me. I don't fit well into pre-made professional boxes. 
However, I do have professional credentials that have helped me better understand, strengthen, and apply my innate skill.

I have a Master's Degree in Education and Bachelor's in Ecology, both from the University of Michigan and several coaching certifications.  I am trained as an Energy Medicine Practitioner from the Rhys Thomas School of Energy Medicine.  I worked for 8 years as a career counselor for Rhode Island Hospital and Create Your Career Path and have 10 years of experience as an educator - environmental educator, high school science teacher and elementary paraeducator. I have been in private practice for 17 years as an educator, coach and energy practitioner.  I am also on the parenting team of 5 kids in our blended family.
 
I am very honored you are here taking in my little corner of the world.  I encourage you to reach out if you're interested in learning more about my work and how I might support you. I look forward to meeting you!
