About

I am a trained professional with many years experience supporting and empowering individuals to unlock
their full potential. One of my gifts is the ability to connect with your hidden strengths and talents and show you how to make the most of them. I help you design your dream and bring it to life!

I dreamed of leaving my hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana for Los Angeles and was able to do so by going to college. I received a B.A. in Education from Biola University and then a M.A. in Psychology from Pepperdine University. During those years I continued to combine my passions by teaching and working with teenagers. In addition I was able to fulfil a secret wish of modelling by doing petite runway shows. It was here that I got my SAG card by small roles on tv!

Ready for a new adventure, I moved to N.Y.C., home for the next fifteen years. I continued to do commercial print modelling, and teach courses in personal improvement before becoming the director for the nation’s largest modelling school, Barbizon. I mentored aspiring young models as well the NYU diving team.

Because of my love of travel, I have been to over 52 countries and lived in Tokyo for three years. I launched my coaching business in Tokyo, targeting foreign expatriates dealing with relocation and life adjustment issues in Japan and Hong Kong.

It was after completing a ten- day training program in the Science of Intuition with Carolyn Myss on Vision, Creativity & Intuition that I heard about Coach University, completing the two year program in 2000.

In August of 1999, after a whirlwind romance, I married Simon, and moved to London to be with him. After 16 years in London, life comes to a full circle. Due to family responsibilities, my English husband and our two daughters have moved to Indianapolis. This is a new start and new beginnings for all of us.

Because of my diverse personal and professional life experiences, I am able to coach on a deep and compassionate level. Naturally optimistic, non-judgmental and unconditionally supportive, I use my creative abilities to help individuals design their dreams and bring them to life. It is my passion to teach and empower others to reach their full potential. Highly intuitive, I use my listening skills to hear what is not being said. All clients are coaches holistically, focusing on body, mind and soul.

The clients that gravitate to me are intelligent, creative and open-minded. They view life as an adventure and learning experience. They are willing to try out new ideas and are ready to get rid of what is not working in their life. Committed to growth and change, they are willing to look inside for the answers that are there as well as having fun in the process.
