Coaching Throughout Your Lifecycle, even when living with dying

No matter how carefully we do it, the plan and order we establish in our lives

can be upset in a moment.

It only takes one phone call - from our boss, a physician, our partner, the teacher of one of our children - you can fill in the blank from your own circumstances, and our lives are forever changed.

This was my experience over 15 years ago (you can read that story in the Resources section.) The feeling of overwhelm, confusion, and isolation I experienced at the sense of my life being ‘out of control’ was significant.

There's a clear link between this powerful turning point moment of my life, and the work I do. I began learning how to live gently and powerfully amid what seemed like the chaos of my life, and it is these real-life-tested tools and methods - the ones that really worked! - I share with my clients.

When the rules of life seem to have changed and life isn't gentle, I am a catalyst and companion for those who want to cultivate ways of living gently and powerfully. I have a particular passion for partnering with those who are living with dying.

This is gentle yet powerful way of living isn't about trying harder! It's cultivated through:

acknowledging your freedom to make choices that allow you to live more gently in the midst of paradox

developing your capacity to stay present to any emotional intensity you're experiencing

uncovering and nurturing the seeds of what's possible embedded in what seems like chaos.

All this gives you greater freedom to live gently and powerfully, no matter what!

If in the midst of your own chaos you sense there’s got to be something more than this, contact me. As one who has lived this path, and is profoundly convinced that every life experience has at its core an invitation that's calling out your greatness, and I’d love to be your partner as you discover what this means for you!

I hope you'll, feel free to:

download the first version of my new e-book Being Here Now, Living Gently and Powerfully No Matter What. For now, this is a free offering which I hope you'll take advantage of! For some time, I've been aware that the number one challenge faced by most people I speak with is the difficulty they have staying present to the intensity we face in our lives. I'm excited to share with you my first attempt at articulating in writing, the basic models and tools I offer to my clients. My hope is this will be a helpful reference - either for self-exploration, as a refresher or reminder of a conversation we've had, or as a trigger for you to call and explore further the possibility of working with me 1:1 in applying or enacting these principles in your specific situation
