A Journey of Exploration, Powerful Support, and Clarity

Exploration

When I think about my life, I recognize that since my early adulthood, I have been guided by persistent questions and the search for answers.

  • What brings meaning and purpose to my life?

  • What dreams have I deferred?

  • What do I believe about these dreams?

  • What deep part of me longs to be expressed?

  • What has gotten in the way and what can I do about it?

  • Who do I want to be in the world?

  • How can I serve others?

But, when an answer would come into focus, and it was always related to spirituality, my nagging inner critic would rear its head. What will everyone think? Am I capable? Will anyone support me? My uncertainty was disheartening. 

My doubts didn’t stop me entirely. While raising my family, working, and caring for aging parents, I quietly and consistently pursued my passions. I studied religion, spirituality, metaphysics, mythology, astrology, personal growth, psychology, energy work (reiki),  and coaching through a variety of classes, workshops, retreats, and self-study. Through The Women’s Mystery School, I learned about women’s circles, the divine feminine, ritual, and astrology.  I knew immediately that I was meant to be an astrologer. These were the educational and experiential adventures that enlivened me.

My first foray into coaching was through the use of astrology, which I have been practicing for years. I pioneered a new approach called Collaborative Astrology. I successfully partnered with clients to use their inner wisdom and my interpretations of their unique astrological chart to provide a framework for coaching.  We explored their gifts, growth areas, life paths, spirituality, communication styles, purpose, and many more areas of their lives. In time, I wanted to expand my capacity to help people navigate their lives more skillfully and soulfully. 

POWERFUL SUPPORT

This desire for expansion led me to find master healers and coaches to teach me their powerful methods to move people toward the life to which they aspire. I enrolled in the Tollera Energy Mastery School where I learned many methods of energy healing and coaching, as well as The Whole You program and its continuing education option which taught me about guiding people forward toward their goals.

Beyond teaching me energy and coaching skills, my coaches and healers helped me face my inner critic and each fear and limiting belief that stood in my way. They shifted energy that had been stuck in my body, blocking me from moving forward. Most importantly, I was safe to explore my path with the knowledge that these coaches and healers were there for me.  With their validation and encouragement, I was propelled into living my purpose.

It became clear to me that I am meant to support other women who are ready to overcome their blocks to becoming who they aspire to be. My purpose is to help you uncover who you really are, the dreams you have deferred, the gifts you were born to share, and then support you to act from your essence to build a vibrant life. 

The modalities that I chose to bring together - coaching, Collaborative Astrology, energy shifting, and ritual facilitation - each add a unique value and are tailored to meet your needs in the moment. My clients value the flexibility that my breadth of experience brings because no two clients are alike.

This may be your time to claim and share your essential self. If you are ready to embrace the vitality and possibilities that pursuing your meaning, purpose, and dreams offers, I can guide you in your process.

Warmly,
