I love being a coach!!!!
I love partnering with clients on their journey of creating their ideal life.
My life journey has led me to coaching.
I have done a lot of things in my life. I’ve loved them all and I am always looking forward to my next adventure and I have finally found the work that I was truly meant to do. All of my journeys have led me here. My parents raised me with a fabulous saying:
“You can BE and DO whatever you want!” WOW!!!!
When I graduated from high school my sister and I drove around the United States in a van for three months. I turned 18 that summer, and my sister was 20. My dad bought us the van and sold it when we returned. He lost $1,000 on the deal. He paid $500. and we each paid him $250.
We paid for everything else with money we had saved from summer jobs. Talk about supportive parents, letting their young girls go!!!!
I went to college in Arizona. Home was in Maryland.
After college, I taught weaving at a high school on The Navajo Indian Reservation. When I was in my late 20’s I traveled through Asia with a friend. We did the whole backpacking, youth hostel adventure.
When I returned home 9 months (!) later, I had $40. to my name.
I have had many different jobs: teacher, waitress, store clerk, secretary, various hotel management positions, real estate agent, and finally, professional organizer and life coach. I married at 37, had my son at 41 and was divorced at 53.
I have survived breast cancer.
I’ve learned, from way too many personal experiences, that LIFE IS SHORT. I make sure that I make space in my life for the things that are most important to me.
The most important things in my life are my son, my family and my friends. I make sure that I spend lots and lots of time with them. I also love to travel, do crafts, go to flea markets, and go on long walks, so I make time for them too.
In 2000, I started my own business as a Professional Organizer. I soon realized that many of my clients had ADD / ADHD. I started taking classes to learn more about ADD / ADHD.
By 2006, I realized that I wanted to help my clients even more and started my coaching training. I became a trained coach in 2006, a Certified Organizer Coach in 2009, and a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach in 2010.
