Inspiring People to Lead Happier Lives

Life Coach

Even more than my love of making art and writing, I love people. I love listening to their stories and sharing experiences through conversation. I’m fascinated by people and want so much for them. As a logical extension of this I love coaching people.

Yes, I’m a life coach. I started coaching in 2006 and over the next five years I coached a variety of people one-on-one over the phone and in person. Supporting, motivating, and guiding clients is an exciting creative collaboration that is positively transforming.

These are some of the areas I’ve addressed: career transition, life balance, grieving, relationship issues, communication skills, busting through creative blocks, de-cluttering work and living spaces, strengthening confidence and self esteem, handling stress/worry/anxiety by accessing inner calm, and shifting from negative thinking to a positive mindset.

In 2011 I took a break from coaching to focus on artistic projects – writing, performing and creating mosaic paintings. Then one day my very first coaching client, who’d benefited so much from our work together, said to me, “You need to find a way to get back to coaching, you’re good at it.” I thought yes she’s right, and more than that, Inspiring people to lead happier lives is what I was Born to do!

Creativity

Drawing, painting, making collages and writing exercises can be powerful tools during in person sessions with clients, or as homework in between calls.  Releasing the brilliant creativity that’s in all of us has a powerful impact on every aspect of our lives. There is so much to gain from allowing our inner playful child to create and make cool stuff with pure freedom. Being in this creative zone helps us to find joy in the present moment and clears the mind. Writing exercises such as short timed poetry and visioning are also fun and powerful.

I’m sharing this story as a way of getting the word out, or come out of the closet as a coach so to speak. If you are interested in finding more passion, happiness or creativity in your life, then let’s talk. I offer a free 30-minute informational session to see if coaching is right for you.

Swimming at the ocean
