About me
In the throes of a midlife metamorphosis, I left my career as a successful tech sales executive and everything and everyone I knew behind to head deep into a jungle in Thailand to meditate in silence with monks. Each day of the silent retreat provided me with a glimpse of myself that had been previously hidden – a tiny gift.
I emerged inspired to learn more about the selves I had met at the retreat and realized that the gifts I had initially been exposed to at the monastery were abilities that we are all born with – I didn’t have to learn anything new to harness the gifts, I simply had to remove my self-imposed beliefs to gain access to them. As I continued my meditation practice and explored the world and myself, I noticed that the more I used and strengthened my gifts, the more liberated I grew in areas of my life where I once saw boundaries and felt victimized or powerless.
I became intrigued by my new perspective and diligently studied myself and others. Over time, I began to understand that the difference between feeling victimized or less-than had less to do with one’s circumstances and more to do with one’s self-perception. I also noticed that there were many other processes happening while meditating and living a mindful life so I peeled each process down to its core. I turned the process into a methodology with exercises in order to continue my evolution and to share the gifts with others so that they too can grow in self-awareness and lead inspired lives. In addition to empowerment coaching and consulting, I also serve as a motivational speaker and a Life Celebrant. I am a planet-roaming, dog-loving, allergy-conscious-gourmet-home-cooking storyteller and mother of two healthy adult daughters.
