About

I’m a life and career coach, NLP Practitioner, writer and teacher.  As a coach, I am trained by Dr. Martha Beck, bestselling author and columnist for O, the Oprah magazine.

Originally a Minnesota girl, I’m a graduate of the College of Saint Benedict, City College of New York and Cass Business School in London.  My professional career has taken a lot of twists and turns from education to finance and back.  I’ve worked as an English teacher in Taiwan, a high school teacher in the South Bronx and as a Corporate Training Consultant in London.

When I’m not coaching or writing, I love being in Paris, browsing bookstores, creating and testing new recipes in my kitchen, decorating my house and coming up with crafty things to do with my kids.

I’m a lifelong learner and I love sharing what I know with others.  After practicing yoga for many years, I’m starting yoga teacher training in February 2013.  I’m delighted to be able to combine these two passions and bring a little more zen and tranquility to the work I do with my coaching clients.

After living in London for six years, we recently moved back to the US.  I now live outside Washington DC with my husband, Paul.  Our family has experienced a lot of recent growth.  We went from 0 to 3 kids in just over 3 years and like any fast growing entity, we’ve had our share of growing pains.
