About My Clients

You are a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual being. The work is to address the 'whole' person so that you can create the life you love regardless of the circumstances around you. You are more powerful than any trauma, tragedy or challenge that you face. Using the right tools to create the new lifestyle will continue to support your strength. Using practices such as writing and meditation to LET GO of the old story and condition yourself for more love, joy, and abundance in your life.

My Background and Approach

I have been on this journey of personal fulfillment and abundance for over 30 years, beginning with releasing myself from panic attacks by using meditation and breathwork as a freshman in college. I continue the journey as a licensed counselor by training with the best and practicing what I teach. I am certified in Complementary Medicine and Wellness, Yoga teacher, and I also bring a very unique practice to our work called intenSati combining movement, mantras, and meditation to elevate your energy and create a positive state of thinking, feeling and being. Using tools such as writing, meditation/visualizing help us tap into the subconscious programming and re-write the script for our lives. It's time to let go of the shoulds, what ifs, not good enoughs and tap into your innate power of confidence, joy and success.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

95% of what we think, feel and do comes from the subconscious mind. Most of the time we are running on autopilot, we are stifling our spirit and creativity and feel unfulled, empty and lost. We are all meant for greatness (however you define it). Within each and everyone of us is our true self - our passion and purpose, if you will. But we get lost in the chaos of life and we lose touch with ourselves. I want to bring you back to who you really are - help you discover your soul purpose. Yes, it's a discipline to fulfill your desire - but you are meant for it! Along with with coaching and counseling practice, I speak internationally about self image, I teach a class called intenSati in the local Cancer Support Community. I am also a member of the North Manitou Light Keepers in Leland, Michigan. I have just relocated 3.5 hours north and I have 4 adult children who I couldn't be more proud of! I love paddle boarding on Lake Michigan and hiking. My soul truly connects to being in nature.
