My Story

I have always felt called to help others.  The intricacies and complexity of the human mind fascinates me.  This led to my initial career in psychology. However, after working in the field for a number of years, I realized I wanted to focus less on what was wrong with people and more on helping people connect to their inherent wellness and live out their potential.  Especially people that have gone through challenging experiences who need support to reclaim their wellness. 

Changes in life circumstance can throw us out of balance, disempower us, and make us feel unwell.  Believe me. I have experienced health challenges such as cancer, loss of loved ones, career change, financial uncertainty, and divorce.  It’s easy to get out of whack.  But over time I’ve come to realize that as tough as these challenges were, there were blessings amidst adversity and there was a capacity for wellness.  The power for healing was already contained within me.  What was required was focus and putting practices into place that ignited my healing.  If I focused purely on the specific physical condition or personal crisis, I got anxious, depressed, and suffered.  However, if I focused on the degree of social support, how relationships deepened, the amount of learning that occurred, the mindful appreciation of little things, the  spiritual growth that these situations fostered, then I was well in many ways.

Instead of focusing on what I couldn’t control, I focused on what I could do to facilitate healing and wellness in body, mind, and spirit.  And I realized that I could do quite a lot! I have experienced the healing power and peace of yoga and reiki. I have experienced the power of wellness coaching myself and how it allowed me to explore possibilities and take action in ways that I never would have on my own. And I can honestly say my life has been drastically enriched because of it. I am happier. I am more hopeful.  I have healed some past trauma.  I am more confident that I can handle set-backs in any one area of wellness because I know I have strengths in other areas that will carry me through.
