You have an impact

• Do you ache to feel more connected to your purpose?
• Do you yearn to live the life of your dreams, but don’t know how to get there?
• Would you be willing to risk letting go and giving that much to yourself and the world?

If you said “yes” to any of these questions, I understand. I know what it is like to have lived a life that, somehow, didn’t feel like my own. Spending most of my life feeling trapped, I didn’t realize that I had created it– with every choice I made. Deferring to others and doing what I thought they wanted for me rather than listening to my own inner voice, I cared far more about what everyone else thought of me than what I thought of myself.

After years of exploring different spiritual paths and forms of personal work, however, I slowly began to “find my voice." From shamanic training and native ceremonies to the Shadow Process, I discovered practices that sang to my heart and moved me forward in my journey of self-discovery. Then, in 2002, almost a year after the devastating loss of my mother, I became a Challenge Day Program Leader and began training as an Integrative Coach with The Ford Institute. It was through this work that my heart was opened and reclaimed in ways I had never before experienced.

Oftentimes, it was my children – my two greatest teachers - who brought me to my senses and reminded me of my worth. Truly, the blessings and lessons I’ve received as a mother have given me some of my greatest insights and growth.

After a long, often overwhelming journey, I have become more of who I knew I could be, experienced major miracles, and am more willing to stretch out of my comfort zone. I still deal with my "stuff," like moments of self-doubt and worry, but I am much better able to manage it and put it into the perspective of my larger life.

Now I can say with certainty that I am creating the life of my dreams. I split my time between my beautiful mountain home in northern California and my new home in Los Angeles. I enjoy visiting with my kids, hanging out with friends and family, working with the most amazing clients, singing when I have the chance, and am publishing my first book Getting That You Matter. I have come to get that I do matter, and that life is a fabulous journey!
