An Introduction…

Hello and Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

I thought I’d take a quick moment to introduce myself and give you a little glimpse into who I am and why I do what I do… I’ll start by saying that today I am so thankful for my current life.  The fact that I am able to be home with my two little kids, able to support my husband in his career, live close to my parents and sister, and have a career helping others create their best life is still astonishing to me!

There was a time when I felt really stuck.  I was a stay-at-home mom with two babies and could only focus on the next five minutes. There was no time for me, for my health, for my dreams and goals.  I was unhealthy, unmotivated, frustrated with life, and dealing with a tremendous amount of guilt. Guilt, that from the outside my life looked perfect, but I just felt stuck and sad.  I felt like I had created this life and needed to focus all my energy on what was in front of me - and didn’t have the right to ask for more, or to speak up for my needs and wants…  I had to put my family first - always.

There came a point when I realized that life wasn’t what I hoped it would be… and I had a choice to make.  I had the power to change it - no one else, just me.  So I started taking small steps to improve my own quality of life, things that required very little time or energy, and very little help from anyone else - daily walks, better food choices, more water, better sleep…  One at a time, I added in healthy habits - and those simple small changes drastically improved my life! As my energy picked up and I felt the difference in my mood and motivation, I began to be more confident and clear about what I needed - and began to use my voice to ask for what I wanted.

Everything changed when I found that courage, that clarity, and that confidence.  By finding my voice, I had help in creating a home environment that supported my health, my goals, and my dreams.  As I worked towards the things that excited me, inspired me, and made me come alive - I was also able to give my family the best parts of me…  All the “roles” in my life were being fulfilled - and I was finally feeling I was where I was supposed to be.  Because I found my voice, my relationships deepened - no longer simply catering to everyone else around me, but giving them the real me - and all I had to offer.  My health got better everyday - renewing my energy and love of life.  My career has begun - a new education and starting my own business didn’t seem so daunting anymore.  And those years of depression and anxiety suddenly lifted - and the not-so-great days became so much more manageable.

I became passionate about helping others see that our lives truly are in our hands.  We can create the life we want with very small changes along the way.  I decided to become a Life Coach in order to help people in a more dedicated way.  I became certified in health, life, and transformational coaching in order to help people get unstuck, leave the burn out and overwhelm behind, and create the life they want.  This is my life’s work - I’m convinced.  I want to help others not feel alone, not feel trapped in their current lives, not feel guilty about their very real feelings, and see that we do have the power to make the change.  And that’s why I’m here today!

All women deserve to be healthy, empowered, joy-filled, and excited about the possibilities life holds!
