I am a Certified Jack Canfield Trainer, a Certified Deepak Chopra Spiritual Life Coach, a Mike Dooley Infinite Possibilities Manifesting Coach, and a Life Purpose Institute Spiritual Life Coach!
I've always loved helping to transform lives and I was an Elementary School Counselor for 24 years and a teacher for 5 years.
I help you see your highest potential, your True Self, and reach your biggest goals.
I am a dedicated advocate for empowerment and well-being, with a lifelong passion for helping others discover their potential. My journey began in education, where I worked as a kindergarten teacher many years ago. During this time, I realized I possessed a unique ability to connect with students, particularly those facing personal challenges. This insight led me to pursue a career in counseling, culminating in a Master's degree in Counseling, which I earned in 1987.
Throughout my career, I was fortunate to receive recognition, including being named California School Counselor of the Year. My efforts focused on making a significant difference in the lives of students and their families. Despite enjoying administrative roles, my heart always remained with direct student interaction. I valued the one-on-one connections and small group dynamics that allowed me to truly impact their lives.
In 2011, I transitioned to founding my Women's Empowerment Retreats, a decision driven by a desire to integrate my spiritual practices with my counseling background. At these retreats, I provide women with a supportive space to heal and rejuvenate through mindfulness practices, including Reiki, yoga, and meditation. Over the years, I’ve hosted 18 transformative retreats in stunning locations, helping participants regain clarity and empowerment.
My passion for healing led to the establishment of my Reiki practice, where I have trained hundreds in various Reiki levels. Additionally, I have pursued further certifications as a Jack Canfield Success Principles Trainer, a Deepak Chopra Life Coach, and a Spiritual Life Coach. These qualifications enrich my ability to guide others, complemented by my real-life experiences and wisdom.
In 2020, I published "Daily Rituals - 30 Days to Peace, Empowerment & Clarity," aimed at providing practical tools for living a balanced life. and in 2022, I contributed an entire Chapter, called "Inner Guidance" in the #1 international bestselling anthology "Dear Younger Self," where I share insights that intuitively led me on my journey in education and counseling.
Creative expression is also a part of my life; I discovered a love for painting Mandalas and now teach this art form. I incorporate sound healing into my practice, using crystal and Tibetan singing bowls to enhance relaxation during workshops.
I take pride in my personal life as well. After retiring early to care for my mother, who battled Lewy Body dementia, I found strength in my daily spiritual practices. This period deepened my connection to family and community, reinforcing my commitment to helping others.
Today, I continue to engage in my passions while cherishing time with my family, including being a grandmother. I find joy in rescuing Siberian Huskies and nurturing Monarch butterflies. Each aspect of my life is intertwined with my mission to empower, uplift, and inspire others to live their best lives, filled with purpose and joy.
