My Vision - Unlocking the Change Within!
I'm passionate about partnering with those who have been knocked down by life and want to build resiliency and move forward to a bold life. I partner with individuals and businesses to design their world that is harmonious with their unique talents, needs, and desires. I specialize in resiliency, change, and loss. A change in health, career, job, or life. Loss of a loved one, job, or relationship. I'm your partner through life's changes. I bring many unique and challenging life experiences to our coaching relationship. I have deep knowledge and experience in career transitions, loss of spouse and mother, other grief experiences, and solid resiliency skills. If you want to learn more or are ready to take that next step forward, contact me. |
