Meet your coach

I work with women who feel unseen, undervalued, and out of touch with her body.  I help by strengthening her confidence so she can feel comfortable in her body.  I believe every woman is capable of falling madly and deeply in love with herself by tapping into her unique wisdom and knowledge.

I have a strong desire to work with women who want to heal their relationship with their bodies.  In the past I have struggled with my body image, being in the military and having to be a certain size and weight to getting out and several years later being diagnosed as morbidly obese, weighing in at 326 pounds, to loosing 100 of it to gain 60 of it back.  I know the highs and lows and beating myself up, thinking I'm too fat, ashamed, hyper critical, and uncomfortable being in MY body.  Becoming a Life Coach I have put to use the skills I have gained and worked on how I perceive my body and no matter what the scale says, I love and accept myself for where I'm at in my life's journey. 

As your coach I will help you discover ways to like and love yourself, possibly for the first time in your life.  As my client you will discover your limiting beliefs, learn to challenge them, and create  a new belief system that supports the woman that is screaming to be let loose and flourish in this life!

So a little bit about me.  I'm an Army Veteran and was part of a Signal Corps in the early 1990's.  When I got out I went into office work, starting off as a receptionist and over the years gained the skills to become an office manager.  After being diagnosed as morbidly obese I knew I needed a career change and became a Massage Therapist, lost 100 lbs, and learned many healing modalities, not only working with the body but also learned energy work.  I am a current Reiki Master, and Spirit Response Therapy practitioner, I also do meditation and muscle testing.  When I knew I wanted to retire from massage I started Coaching school through  Health Coach Institute in 2019 and completed the Basic and Mastery level coaching classes.  I have been coaching at Chicago for Jesse Brown VA medical center since 2023, and along with my private coaching my practice that I started in 2022.

When I first started coaching in 2022 I struggled on which direction I wanted to go in.  I bounced around from wanting to be a travel coach to working as a love and forgiveness coach.  As I began working at the VA as a Health and Wellness coach I realized how much, 1. I love working with my fellow Veterans, and 2. how much I Love working with women.  Not that I don't enjoy working with men, I feel I have a stronger connection and can relate at a much deeper level with women.  Once I discovered this about myself everything clicked into place.  I found passion, purpose, and my life's work.  I'm deeply grateful for each and every woman I work with, no matter if we meet once or you become a long term client.  I value the time I get to spend helping each one of you find a new way of healing your relationship with your body and seeing each one of you transform into the amazing woman you were meant to be.
