Who I am and Why I Love Coaching

In 2020 and 2021, like so many in the world, I experienced a dark and difficult season of life. As the pandemic raged, I experienced what felt like loss after loss - the death of my father followed by two back-to-back miscarriages, and then a diagnosis of an autoimmune condition that was seriously impacting my quality of life. I knew I needed to make a change.

​

​In addition to addressing my physical symptoms, I did some soul-searching. I sensed that I needed to be spending more time doing things that felt enlivening, invigorating, and were in greater alignment with who I am at my core. I knew my physical, emotional, and spiritual healing required me to live more deeply into my purpose; simply, to do more of what I love. And what I love is talking to people about what makes them come alive; their deepest hopes and desires; what they dream of for themselves and for the world. The support of others, including a life coach I worked with on this journey of discovery, has been essential in my own ongoing healing process. I believe that we need one another to thrive as individuals and communities.  I sense a calling to embody the "wounded healer" whose healing is intertwined with the healing journeys of others.

​

​While that dark season of life was painful and difficult, it also proved to be a kind of fertile ground for me, and seeds that were planted have grown and borne fruit.  Over the past few years, I have obtained a post-baccalaureate certificate in Health and Wellness Coaching from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, transformed my relationship with my body, and given birth to a wonderful baby boy, my second child. ​I would love to walk alongside and in support of you as you work towards your own transformation, towards embodying your fullest and most enlivened self.
