Hello!

I want you to know a little about me - you can also learn more at my blog. Most important, I am a mom, wife, and I co-lead a family to the best of my ability. I’ve been married to Bill for 23 years. My daughter, Andrea, is 23 and my son, Billy, is 21. l birthed the desire for a family when I was on a long solo bicycle trip trying to figure out my next step in life. While riding through a midwest suburb at dusk the glowing lights in living rooms behind closed drapes lit an unstoppable desire for family and home. A year later I’m a mom.

Fast forward several years: Corporate burnout and too little family time crushed my spirit and health so much that I quit my computer career 9 years ago. Certified as a coach, I now joyfully use my natural listening, championing, and “create your meaningful life” talents for people seeking sanity, success and fulfillment. I have a Certified Professional Co-active Coach designation from The Coaches Training Institute and am an International Coach Federation Professional Certified Coach. I am trained in co-active leadership, accelerated teaching, non-violent communication, and relational presence; as well as quest, life purpose, earth-based, and success coaching. I find that I am a naturally receptive person and this makes it easy for me to listen. I am spaciously curious. Love is so present it’s hard to describe. After I completed with my first client I cried a half an hour, I was so moved by our process.

A few years ago I began to wonder why businesses should get all the leadership training, coaching, team building and communication skills. Families are tiny businesses with a big vision. I now bring these tools and ideas to parents and families to create inspired family teams where kids grow up to be capable, confident leaders in their lives.
