About Me
Having dealt with plenty of human struggles – health, relationships, career – I’ve used the past 50 years of my life to train in schools and philosophies that have helped me make sense of confusion and bring meaning to my life. I’ve found precious resources for mind, body, spirit. At age 70, how better to live life than to use and share this learning to help others create their path, uncover their own gifts and resources?
More detail: I hold Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Education.
Raised near Buffalo, NY (USA), I began my professional life as a teacher. After 4 years of teaching in New York, I traveled to Geneva, Switzerland and eventually moved there, where I married and had children.
After a rich career at UNICEF, I retired in 2010 and decided to design the second half of my life around the quest for fulfilment that fuels me and serves others.
I had trained at the Option Institute and then completed 3 life-coach trainings in order to expand my knowledge, acquire excellent tools, and then share a life-enhancing treasure chest with people like you. Specifically: In 2013 I completed life-coach training at Martha Beck Institute, then received coaching certification at The Life Coach School in 2015. I then trained and became certified in 2018 from the Human Potential Institute which holistically blends the best of body, mind, spirit/energy work. In 2018 I also received the Associate Certified Coach credential from the prestigious International Coach Federation (ICF).
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), “The Work” of Byron Katie, A Course in Miracles, NLP, Matrix Energetics, EFT, Reiki, EMDR, The Silva Method and Positive Neuroplasticity.
I’m currently studying Internal Family Systems, Focusing, and deepening meditative practices from The Finder’s Course and Joe Dispenza.
