True nature – the core essence of who we are.
I'll start with describing my true nature as that of an artist. It's the core of my being, where I can sit with the unknown, trusting what is possible long before the form is revealed. Transformational coaching creatively uses everything as information and fuel for what is wanting to emerge from messages of your soul.
I’ve worked professionally for corporations, non-profits and in small businesses. I've held leadership positions, developed educational programing, increased business revenues through marketing, mentored young people into adulthood, and spent many volunteer hours working with at-risk youth. My formal background and education is in art and I’m what you might call “a creative”.
I have a strong commitment seeing to the best in others, young people, the environment, artists and supporting the change makers.

Turning the corner of mid-life, I've focused on becoming a skilled Co-Active Coach through CTI®, (The Coaches Training Institute). They are internationally recognized as innovators, setting the standard in the field of coaching and leadership.
Some of the hats I’ve worn have been: Graphic Designer/Art Director, Marketing/Business Consultant, Art Educator, Youth Mentor, Landscape Designer (with a focus on sustainability).
I make my home in Forestville, Sonoma County, California and work with people all around the globe.
We all develop skills from the challenges and opportunities we have met in life. Mine include an aptitude for compassion, well tuned intuition, and an ability to see beyond the obvious. With an inherent sense of curiosity, humor, and honesty, I'm here to be your guide and ally in discovering what makes you, so uniquely you.
You are the seed you have planted. Tend your garden well, for the bounty you share comes from the resource of a nourished soul. 11/9/16
