Thank you for visiting my site – because you are here and possibly looking for a life coach – let me tell you about my background.   I have been in the field of helping people for many years (too many to mention) – I have been a secondary education teacher, a small business owner several times, and a counselor for families and teens for 14 years.  I have a wide variety of education added to the hands-on experience that I bring to being a coach.  Because of my diverse background, I feel qualified to successfully coach in many areas.  I am passionate about people and being able to facilitate the future that they are wanting and/or needing – from better relationships, to being a business owner, to being happy in their chosen field, to being successful in the raising of children (especially through the difficult teen years), to figuring out how to navigate through difficult economic times, health challenges, relationship issues, etc.

In deciding to create this website I found it challenging to determine my “niche” because of my wide base of experience and knowledge – so I just decided to move forward and make myself available to people who show up and are wanting to move forward in whatever areas get identified.  Life coaching is not just about one area of a person’s life – it’s about all areas of a person’s life.

I look forward to meeting all of you and having you join me in this new and exciting journey.

And, at a personal level, I have 2 grown children, 7 grandchildren, and a 44 year marriage (despite all the odds against us).  I have 2 Master’s Degrees and am a Certified Transformational Life Coach – and most of all, I love the ability to support people in being extraordinary.
