About Me

I have been an observer of people for my whole life. I want to know their loves, the fears, the hurts, joys and dreams. In short, I want to hear their stories. Nothing could be more of a privilege nor more interesting than for people to share their stories. So, I coach.
I spent much of my early career as a psychotherapist and became skilled in helping people peel away the layers of their lives.
Life is all about learning, dreaming, planning to move forward and this is what the energy of coaching is all about. I Certified with The Coaches Training Institute and began a new phase of my career. I also trained with Wellcoaches to learn about motivation and change methods as they relate to our health and general wellbeing. Since age 55I have focussed on helping people plan for and deal with the many transitions that they may face after midlife. This comes from my own experience of aging, struggling, and learning what it takes to welcome the wisdom of our years in order to live well. I have dealt with divorce, loving and caring for aging parents, re-careering and training my body to meet the challenges of sport.
In 2017 I certified as a Retirement Coach to support people in planning for the next phase of their lives.
What I know for sure is that one can view aging as a slippery slope or rather seeing it as the widening sphere that it can be. Opportunity for growth and joy is all around you if you can find it.
Using both humour and love, I challenge my clients to dream forth into their next story.
