Whole Person Certified Coach with ACC credential and Mindful Outdoor Guide based in Central Vermont.
About the journey:
I’ve had to remake and restructure parts of my own life over and over again. I’ve wanted to. And, by connecting my inner longings to outward expression, I’ve built resilience and a life I love.
It is not my ability to break challenges into manageable pieces that qualifies me as a life coach. It is not my long history with managing large projects or my strong record of asking questions that evoke solutions. I do these things well; but what really qualifies me is having lived through (author Googles “synonyms for shitstorm”) dilemmas, brouhahas, quandaries, entanglements, and heartbreaks. Some I handled better than others.
I’ve been left behind. Deceived. I've been a smoker and destructive drinker. I've gone through times where I struggled to buy food, have studied for a profession that wasn’t a fit (more than once), strode ill-equipped into blending a family, quit things, ended relationships, gotten fired, and had conflict with other humans. I built a house with my man but not with much money. Both of my parents have died. I’ve been through a pandemic!
AND
I've traveled to beautiful places to hike for days on end, planted stunning gardens, delightfully decorated my home, found deep friends, and laughed often with my husband. I’ve celebrated decades of marriage and have enjoyed the company of my grown stepdaughter. I’ve played chamber music and jazz with joy in public, and evolved to find work that moves me—work that is service. I've gained know-how and earned respect in business dealings. This side of the storm is intentional and full.
If you are in a pickle, tight corner, soap opera, hassle, or predicament, I'd like to help. We'll start where you are, then activate your most resourced spaces by listening to mind, body, and heart. I would love to see you step into a future in which the richest version of you emerges.
