Embark on the Journey to the best version of yourself with Peaceful Explorations LLC

Everyone has a personal journey in life. My journey began as the youngest child born to parents who were both the first college educated members of their families. I went to college and became a special needs and elementary school teacher in a time when the special needs classes were shunned out of the public view of the school population, but it was an in-demand field and I felt needed. I lost my father to cancer and his vision of my being a teacher was no longer my passion. To find myself, I spent a summer in China and was awakened to other ways to help people. I chose to walk with an old school handheld GPS that I loaded with maps of China before I left and upon being so close to the harvest moon in the airplane that I thought I could touch it I went back to school and became a licensed mental health and addictions provider because I was taught that education is where you will find your answers. Losing my mother helped me realize that the answer wasn’t hidden in the next job or the next educational credentials but in finding an outlet to use my empathy at the level of others instead of limiting my connections with clients because it was deemed too personal. As a life coach I have embraced being a lifelong learner and have both clinical training and training in the school of life to help you as well. I have a deep and heavy bag of strategies to help people find their inner strengths, some of those strategies are subtle and others are blunt to save time. Whatever your communication style and preference is will determine the structure of your coaching plan. No two clients are alike and I do not cookie-cutter my treatment planning as each person has unique gifts and challenges to overcome. I look forward to meeting you on your level and helping you to achieve what it is you truly want in this life’s moment.
