Like most of us, I grew up in very challenging and dysfunctional family dynamics. Life to me felt upside down, inside out and backwards- and very mean! In my case, I got an extra helping of self-doubt and low self confidence on top of all that. Growing up in the era of Teen magazine, Victoria’s Secret and the supermodels of the 90’s, and in California nonetheless, the message to teen girls was loud: If you aren’t tall, thin and gorgeous, well really what are you good for? That mixed with being a sensitive soul who “over feels” everything going on both as an individual and on a collective level, and not really fitting into any of the boxes laid out for me, it has been quite the journey to get to where I am today. To this place of etre bien dans ma peau. After a long time of working as a physical therapist within the health care system we have in the United States, I finally have found a profession that brings together all of my passions, creativity, strengths and love of connecting with others in meaningful ways. A place where I can bring my whole self to the game and leave it all on the field! (Yes, if you work with me you will get to know how much I truly love and overuse analogies, metaphors and exclamation marks every chance I get!!!) As you can see, I also could use an editor. In addition to being a Transformational Life & Empowerment coach, I also am the queen of run on sentences, love Human Design, consider myself to be spiritual without any religious affiliations, have kids, a husband/life partner of 25 years, and a demanding 2 year old Australian Shepard who has taught me a lot about the importance of having healthy boundaries! :)
