Through life coaching, I work with people to become more authentically clear, powerful, and joyful. Your life then reflects being the victor, the creator, instead of the victim and at the effect of what is around you.

We are all intrinsically whole and complete. We have everything we need to thrive and prosper within us, we are already there! Life coaching is a way of releasing the limitations, beliefs, energies, and blocks that diminish us, limiting us from being fully present and alive.

Growing up, behaviors and beliefs were modeled to us by our parents and environment. We took this in, believing it to be true, later finding out that it was not necessarily embodying the healthiest approaches to life. Our attitudes and perspectives radically affect what our lives are like and most of us neglect to examine these relationships. We say, “This is just the way I am” or “I was born to this lot in life” or “It’s in my genetics, I can’t help myself” or “If they would just do this, I’d be happy.”

The reality is that we can directly impact our lives through our view of life and ourselves. We can change, and in a fairly short amount of time create new healthy and life-giving dynamics in our lives. We can not become a new person or create a new life as the same person, so as we work together, we create a vision of what is possible, then move towards that. Learning how to create and control our emotional states is powerful and transforming.

I have been working with a woman who was angry at others, especially her sisters, blaming them for her anxiety. She has moved from being at the effect of others to taking responsibility for her feelings and noticing when she has moved into the role of victim. She has learned to play certain music, read inspiring books, meditate, and move into states of calmness instead of anxiety and irritation. Her focus is now on creating a future life instead of stewing in her old looping negative emotions.

In our sessions, I use many methods to achieve our goals. I use EFT tapping to release emotions, fears, anxieties, and old patterns; Dr. Joe Dispenza’s quantum model of creating new neural pathways in the brain; meditation to anchor-in concepts and move into clarity in a dimensional way; light therapy for PTSD and anxiety; walks on the beach; and ceremony, plus other things.

The result is you become lighter after shedding the old baggage of resentment, guilt, sadness, depression, anxiety, anger, shame and whatever else has been held inside. It takes a lot of energy to keep all of that in place so by releasing it, you will have more energy available to put into your new life. And by choosing new, more vibrant thoughts, you will be attracting new experiences to you. It now becomes an upward spiral instead of a downward one. You will be more present in you relationships and have more to give so they can proper in new ways. And you will be happier, more fulfilled, and more effective in all areas of your life.

Sessions last around 90 minutes. They are available in person at my office in Sarasota, FL or by phone, FaceTime or Zoom.

I have been involved in the healing arts for over 40 years. I was a massage therapist for 21 years, getting certificates in Reiki in the 70's. I have life coaching and relationship coaching certificates through Cloe Mandanes/Tony Robbins, am certified in EFT through Lori Leyden at Nick Ortner's foundation, and have light therapy certification. My greatest education has been my own evolution through life experiences (physically abusive marriage, relationships with all the holics- rageaholic, workaholic, alchoholic, and being a single mother). These experiences have given me the greatest of gifts, learning boundaries, aquiring my voice, listening to my intuition and inner self, trusting myself and others, developing self worth, and knowing I am valuable. Also that I am a powerful creator!

These are the tools I bring into sessions. I believe in you as I believe in myself, knowing we are unlimited potential surrounded by unlimited possibilities.

I love transformation! And I love to be part of this process through coaching others to shine.
