Everyone deserves a caring guide.

As a coach and mentor my empathy and compassion have been shaped by a wealth of life experiences. People come to me for warmth, support, and guidance as they wade through life challenges and decisions. Clients experience me as a partner with whom they can think out loud and discover new options and fresh perspectives.

Some of the experiences that have stretched and informed me:

• living 29 years in intentional communities,

• 25 years' training in deep listening in a residential feedback learning program,

• managing a secondhand store,

• growing up in a Christian Science home,

• exploring familial holocaust history,

• living with sibling mental illness,

• accompanying my younger sister through cancer treatment,

• acting as a communicator and transition manager for my dying father,

• many years spent studying & applying positive life principles,

• transforming myself from a shy, removed, sometimes harsh, oblivious being into the warm engaged person I had always dreamed of becoming.
