Nature and animals have always been a large part of my life. Living in Arizona, I’d often ride my foxtrotter Razz in the Sonoran desert with my beloved Akita Kimi running alongside. These moments gave me a sense of great joy and a profound appreciation for how nature sustains the spirit and reminds the heart of its true place and purpose. Then, after many years as a counselor and therapist, I retired in 2019 following a stroke. At , As a result, I faced significant life changes and challenges: unexpected physical limitations, loss of activities I had once loved and done effortlessly, unaccustomed free time, as well as a disheartening loss of meaning and purpose in life.

​

At that point, a good friend attended a life-coach training and suggested I look into it for myself, which I did. I signed up right away, and life coaching has been my best decision ever made. Today, both my work and my personal life derive from the same principles I first encountered riding in the Sonoran desert.

 

When I see a bright smile and hear the sigh of relief as clients first recognize their own intrinsic value, hidden strengths, and natural beauty, I know that coaching has become my perfect way to serve others.
