In more than 25 years as a practicing Educational Counselor and Psychotherapist, I have consulted with clients and companies in a variety of industries and environments. I have applied my experience and education as a coach, author, speaker, and teacher specializing in health and wellness empowerment.
As a speaker, I have proved to be a highly articulate and effective communicator, recognized for her creativity; and a visionary who sees “the big picture”. My imaginative flair has served others, and earned me recognition as a resource person, problem solver, and creative leader. I am blessed in that I excel in developing and presenting seminars and classes based on a balanced lifestyle; all including my key areas of experience ranging from Human Dynamics & Development, Motivation, to Spiritual Awareness & Development.
As a practicing Wellness Empowerment Coach, I assist individuals in empowering themselves, as well as those that surround them, thus actualizing their health and wellness goals and objectives on both personal and professional levels. I have a demonstrated talent for motivating, encouraging, and leading individuals in a positive direction for betterment and empowerment. My creative endeavors are dedicated to individual empowerment and the conscious evolution of humankind, that we may align perfectly with our Creator, fulfilling our purpose while enjoying its process.
A breast cancer survivor, I enjoy a passion for life; and assists clients in overcoming health and wellness obstacles and challenges, that they may achieve the energy, passion, and purpose that is inherently theirs. An avid runner for the last 34 years, I also enjoy distance running six days per week to the tune of 50-60 miles. I have faithfully participated in the Big Sur Marathon, and encouraged many individuals to run and walk regularly for the tremendous emotional and physical benefits. My running, as well as resistance/strength training regimen, contributed to enabling me to effectively minimize the effects of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy while being treated for breast cancer. I thoroughly promote the empowering effects of an exercise program when faced with life’s challenges, encouraging a lifestyle of health and wellness.
My spiritual strength, through a variety of personal and professional life challenges, has enabled me to turn adversity into opportunity. I pour out with enthusiasm my gratitude for daily blessings from our Source/Creator. Moreover, my participation in Spiritual Study, enables me to live beyond myself, while encouraging and empowering others to be the best they can be in body, mind and spirit. . . financially and socially as well!
The oldest of three brothers and one sister, I was raised by a traditional stay-at-home mom, and a dad who preferred mom stay at home, in an extended family of primarily women. I credit that tradition as invaluable in providing the spirit of nurturance of self and others I especially subscribe to.
I am an energetic and playful 50+ year old woman who loves to laugh… enjoying each moment of the process of this journey we have so graciously been placed on. I love cooking, gardening, writing, and walking on the beach with my dog, Molly the Wonder Dog. My greatest blessing is my daughter, Amanda. I reside, gratefully, on the Monterey Peninsula, California.
