A Little About Me

I grew up in a middle class family in sunny southern California.  Despite marriages, degrees, home purchases, success or “that next fun thing”, much of the time I experienced a hollow feeling, lacking a clear understanding of my purpose in life or who I was “supposed” to be. I felt constantly in search mode.  I now live in Victoria, BC, on beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada.  I have deepened my roots and my inner sense of connection here where the trees are tall in the Great Northwest.  But it was what I learned later in life through my experience and training in coaching and energy work, that had me awaken to the magic I knew existed but could not quite access.

Since my twenties, I’ve been fascinated with the realization that everything is made up of energy.  Energy exists in waves and particles forming everything we experience. Nothing is permanently solid.  Wow! A close look at the natural world with all its creatures and inhabitants reveals how everything works together in a symbiotic fashion.  Everything is interdependent and nothing exists separately. Life flourishes when in balance.  We are living in one big container, all connected.  I thrive on the evidence of this interconnectedness in all I do.

I have a background in various aspects of sales, real estate, finance, and marketing.  I even helped develop from the ground up, a successful start-up company that is doing very well today.  I know the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. I know what it is like to take a bold risk and find yourself out on the “skinny branches” of life, knees quivering in the wind.

I’ve had success and I’ve had loss, in life and business. What I know for sure now is that beyond any of these outward experiences of life, having a solid understanding of who you are, and why you are here is the most important thing.  It is the difference between living a life of deep fulfillment and living with an empty, hollow feeling.  It is what makes life miraculous and joyful no matter what is happening. When we “know ourselves”, our lives become less burdened and we are able to move more freely because we come from a different place.  We learn to draw on our own inner knowledge where creativity, perspective, and power reside.  Life becomes an adventure worth having.

We are always learning about ourselves, and our capabilities are always expanding.  I am deeply grateful to be able to support you to accelerate this expansion through any combination of Ontological coaching, Shamanic Energy Medicine, or Biofield tuning.  I am grateful to have learned from courageous and committed leaders who have pioneered these fields - helping all of us awaken into our greatness. 

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business with an emphasis in Marketing from National University. (1992)

I am a graduate of Accomplishment Coaching Coach Training (2010).  I participated in an advanced coaching program, training and mentoring new students for 4 years.  I’ve held a successful private coaching practice since 2010.

I hold a Master Practitioner of Shamanic Energy Medicine certificate. (2023) I regularly offer Energy Medicine as part of my practice, and I continue ongoing advanced studies in this beautiful, ancient methodology of healing and becoming whole.
