My Journey to Coaching

I’ve always been enamored with reading and learning from people – people who are motivating and willing to provoke my thinking about myself and my life.

I consider myself a student of life because I, myself, am a work-in-progress continuing to challenge and grow in various ways.  

As we all know, life is a journey — filled with twists, turns, obstacles and destinations.  My life journey has been no exception.  It has been filled with loss, career changes, relationship challenges and other limitations.  But in spite of those challenges, I have learned that I truly can accomplish what I set my mind to,  when I leverage the resources around me.  I’ve realized that each day is an opportunity to experience my dreams, to set new goals and to be filled with the energy and excitement to live my life with purpose on purpose.

I enjoy working with people and sharing with them all that I have learned in the areas of fitness, nutrition, goal setting, and career coaching.  Life coaching seemed the perfect next step!

My view of life coaching is primarily based on the philosophy of high performance coaching – which encourages my clients to live a balanced life while excelling in all areas. I’ve come to understand the importance of how every aspect of our life needs to work together to create our best self and achieve our dreams. We have resources to help with us feel better physically, to help us manage stress, to help us improve our relationships and to propel us forward in our careers.  I have accessed all of these types of resources in my own life and look forward to the opportunity of sharing these with you so you are feeling energized physically, emotionally and mentally.  

The teacher in me thrives on the opportunity to share my knowledge with others every chance I get.  I received a note from a friend many years ago and she said “you have changed me for the better”.  My life mission is to change as many lives as possible for the better!  It brings me great joy to witness others gaining self-confidence and creating the life story they desire and deserve.
