What I Do
I empower people to thrive.
My Vision
I believe we all have one big juicy life to live. While we cannot control the things that happen to us, we can control our response to our circumstances and what we want to make from them. I believe we all have everything we need inside ourselves - to heal, to live, to love and to be the people we want to be, living the lives we want to lead - and sometimes we need others to help us see it, feel it, know it and use it . As a coach I support you in discovering and cultivating your unique strengths, your authentic self and all the things you need to lead a healthy, happy and meaningful life.

A bit more about me.
I grew up in Vermont, went to college in Massachusetts and lived most of my adult life on the west coast, primarily in Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area. I love the outdoors and exploring the wilderness in all seasons. A passion for travel and curiosity about new things has lead me to live and work in Europe where I currently reside in France.
