Coaching
​Life coaching for all your switchbacks in the adventure of life.
​
The question is, what crossroads are you at?
And where would you like to go?
I come with varied lived experiences that started in my teens as an athlete with a not-so-supportive coach. I learned a lot in that isolation and in leaving a competitive sport far before I should have. I went into coaching myself and then opened a small team building / outdoor education & adventure business. Here, I learned that I loved working with people. My goal was always to find ways to teach clients in innovative ways. Just because a concept may be difficult doesn't mean I cannot be creative in ways I conceptualize the learning. I was a stay-at-home mom while juggling the business and raising the kids. Then another curveball - going back to school to become a teacher in my 30s, a separation and starting over in my forties....a new house, TWICE...going back to school AGAIN in my 50s. Did I mention dating?
I have lived, struggled, strived, and THRIVED in many different scenarios and adventures. All in an attempt, and success therein, at attaining the life I've always hoped for, despite the bumps, curveballs, and bullies, AND thank goodness for the cheerleaders.
I am a teacher, a psychotherapist (qualifying), a special education specialist, a librarian, an artist, a novelist, a former athlete, an avid hiker, a lover of the outdoors, a kayaker, a canoeist, a camper, a dreamer, and a mom.
​
I remember, oh so many times, the challenging thoughts of wondering if whatever I was up to at the time was worth it and whether the rewards of designing the life I wanted for myself would come.
​
But here I am. Is life perfect? No, I'm on a life-long journey. But, I have designed this life. AND, I have found contentment.
​
SO, What do you want to do? Should we make a plan to strive to make it come true?
​
Let's talk.

A coaching session will work through the big wide-lens picture, the close-up, and the nitty gritty details to make sure you're on the same page.
MID-LIFE
Hey Ladies. Mid-life changes can hit us like...well...like a herd of elephants in the heat of the Sahara?! This often happens as the kids are moving out, as our parents need us in new ways, too. A coach can help navigate these new adventures.
CAREER CHANGE
Are you pondering a career or life change? How exciting! And terrifying?! Let's try to lessen the scary part and focus on the excitement by establishing focused and achievable goals.
COMMUNICATION
Does public speaking make your stomach just roll up into a little bundle of goo? Is the thought of having to speak to someone new or even familiar make the hair on your neck stand on end? Let's practice.
LEADERSHIP
Want to be more reflective as a leader? Are you recognizing a gap in how you want to show up for your team? Pull from models of knowledge of how to best support learning, building on strengths, while also supporting a keen sense of collaboration and a high drive towards success.
NEW PARENTS
Sometimes, a coach can help in the crazy days, weeks, months, years - that follow a new baby. Do you need someone to help you sort out your new mama or pops goals? I'm here to help.
INJURY
Has an injury changed your body? Or the way you look at activity. Are you now working through new ways of maintaining your self-care and finding that all very hard to manage? A coach can help.
RELATIONSHIPS
Do you have some relationships that just aren't where you'd like them to be? Create some strategies to learn how to bring people together in a compassionate, understanding way.
DATING
Trying the online dating thing and feeling judged and down in the dumps. Learn how to feel empowered and in the driver's seat. Stop playing the texting games and set some boundaries and goals.
