My Short Story...
From Corporate Consultant to Coach
I'm the girl who orders chicken & waffles and bottomless bellinis at brunch! Not the person you come to for healthy recipes and fruit smoothies.
When my friend suggested that I enroll in the Health Coach Training Program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), I blurted out, "Huh?"
In my confusion and desperation for a change in career and the direction of my life -- of course, I signed up!
As I listened and learned, I confirmed what I already knew.
Avocados are good & delicious, but being a health coach was not my destiny.
But it was the catalyst I needed to do what excites me - life coaching.
After more than two decades as a corporate consultant, I felt stifled and limited. I knew I wanted to be more and do more with my life. I just didn't know where to start or how to get there.
It was never my dream to be a coach or start a business. Working with an intuitive coach at the start of my practice was instrumental in helping me navigate the path from employee to solopreneur.
I got here slowly, taking one step at a time, building my confidence along the way. Now, I like it on the entrepreneurial side of the street.
I love working with solopreneurs and professionals who are searching for clarity and a safe place to figure out who they are, what they truly want, and the path to get there.
I believe that life and business are closely interconnected now more than ever. So, I'm the life coach for the busy professional who wants to break out of their bubble and create a real life of entrepreneurship they can maintain.
And yes...I am a life coach, but I'm not JUST a coach. I'm multi-talented and skilled in many different areas.
Who I am is not what I do. I hope that by working with me, you'll discover it's the same for you too.

My Coaching Philosophy
The "Yellow Brick Road" Approach
In L. Frank Baum's classic American story, "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy, and her dog, Toto, must follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City in search of the Wizard of Oz who can help her return home to Kansas.
My coaching philosophy is to help my clients follow their "Yellow Brick Road" to clarity. To do this, I encourage you to:
🌻 Keep it simple.
🌻 Take one, small step at a time.
🌻 Focus on progress vs. perfection/productivity.
Solopreneur - this isn't Dorothy's story - it's yours!
💎 Dorothy (or Donny;-)) = You.
💎 The Wizard of Oz = Your Intuition.
💎 The Yellow Brick Road = Your true path; the one that's right for you.
💎 Kansas = Your goal, dream, or desire.
