The unknown is just another name for possibility.

Many years ago I left behind a secure, lucrative career and jumped into the unknown, heeding the call of a life aligned with my values, passions, and aspirations.

I became a life coach to help others do the same—to help them lead more authentic lives.

I also became a life coach because it brings together so many areas of my life: from my twenty-five years at Fortune 500 companies to my current life as a creative; from my nearly lifelong meditation practice to the active listening skills I honed as an interviewer; from my study of breathwork, dreams, and intuition to my interest in performance and resilience, and much more.

And I absolutely love life coaching.

It is such an honor when someone welcomes me to be part of their personal journey. Sometimes there are tears. Sometimes there’s laughter. But it’s always an engaging, productive, illuminating experience.

During my career as a business analyst, project manager, and program manager in San Francisco, I spearheaded enterprise-wide change initiatives; re-engineered processes across the globe; facilitated large groups; and developed and delivered online and in-person training.

In addition to a life coach, today I’m the author of four books, as well as a frequent speaker to cultural, literary, and professional organizations about subjects ranging from marketing to creativity. I have produced multiple podcasts, and I frequently interview authors at San Francisco Bay Area bookstores.

I speak three languages, have lived in Spain, France, and Turkey, and have called San Francisco home for more than twenty-five years.

In addition to my Human Potential Life Coaching certification, I hold certifications in Intuition Medicine and HeartMath’s Building Personal Resilience. I am currently pursuing Neurofit’s Somatics and Nervous System certification (completion 2025).

I have explored dreamwork with Robert Moss in the United States and France, and I participated in Esalen’s Live Extended Education Program, a month of onsite breathwork study. I have spoken repeatedly about intuition, including on The Intuition Chronicles online series, hosted by former Christian Science Monitor anchor and producer Lisa Taylor.

I have a longstanding daily meditation, affirmation, and gratitude practice, as well as other regular, ever-evolving wellness routines.
