I began my coaching journey in 1986 when I attended my first seminar, and my life was changed forever. I’ve dedicated nearly four decades to changing people’s lives for a living, and I’m so thankful for the privilege of doing this work.
I have five beautiful children, four girls and a boy. I also have four grandchildren and counting! Family is one of my highest values, and I love spending time with them all over the world.
One of my biggest core wounds in life was the feeling that “I don’t belong.” That’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about creating spaces where women connect deeply with each other and truly empower one another.
I’m passionate about communication & relationships because I believe harmony between people is the key to ending wars and transforming our planet. (Fun fact: I was known internationally for many years as the “man whisperer” for my work in relationship!)
I love traveling the world, exploring other cultures, and having deep conversations with people with different backgrounds & perspectives.
Some of my other enliveners are: spending time by the ocean, creating artful environments, spending time with my kids and grandkids, and yoga.
I grew up around coaching, and started participating in Gigi’s seminars at the age of seven! I think a part of me always knew deep down it’s what I wanted to do.
I live in San Diego, CA with the love of my life Sunny, and our Cavalier King Charles spaniel Chloe.
One of my biggest core wounds in life was the tendency to get stuck in “Go Mode,” which led to anxiety and burnout. That’s why I’m so passionate about the Way of the Muse™. This way of approaching life, love & business changed my life. I’d go as far as to say it saved my life!
I’ve been an entrepreneur for 12 years. I spent 6 years as a direct response copywriter and marketing strategist for speakers, authors & experts before I stepped into my calling and became a coach in 2018. I absolutely love the work I do.
I’ve done over 3 dozen professional photoshoots for fun & business, and in addition to being a coach, speaker and author, I love to model! (Pssst… if you don’t have my free guide to planning a fabulous photoshoot at any budget, grab it here.)
Some of my other enliveners include: travel, spending time with family & friends, reading fiction/fantasy books, walking, barre classes, and making epic charcuterie boards.
I’m a Leo / Dragon. A Manifestor 4/6 in human design. An ENFJ. A 3 in the enneagram. I love just about every astrology-type profile or personality assessment ever made. 😉
The Way of the Muse™ begins with listening to the longing of your heart, and the call of your soul. Discovering who you really are, and who you were meant to be.
Claiming your unique gifts, and stepping into your power. Sharing those gifts in service to the world.
It’s a way of dancing with life… Having clear intent to create what you want, while also listening and responding to what life puts in front of you. Weaving effortlessly between action and allowing. Between desire and surrender. Between the masculine and the feminine, or “go mode” and “flow mode,” both of which are inside of all of us.
It’s a way of navigating through life, love, raising a family, and working in a career or business with more ease, fun and flow.
Sometimes the way seems counterintuitive at first – especially for the modern woman.
It may mean taking a less direct path to get where you want to go. Or slowing down, in order to speed up. Or being receptive in a conflict, before sharing what you see.
Our go-go-go culture has taught us that the way to “get ahead” is to assert yourself and work as hard as you can.
But if hard work alone was the path to success and fulfillment, a lot more people would be successful and truly, deeply fulfilled.
Instead, there are countless people waking up to the fact that, although their lives may look good on paper, something doesn’t feel quite right. Or perhaps they have everything they thought they wanted, and yet they can’t shake the deep down sense that there’s more to life than this.
The Way of the Muse™ is the way of discovering and stepping into your “something more.”
It’s the path of becoming the woman you’re meant to be, so you can confidently create your biggest dreams.
