Once I realized that I had the power to make a change, I took control of my future and never looked back. Now, while I realize I’m far from perfect, I have learned just how powerful our intrinsic motivation is, as I lost 110+ pounds and have maintained it for over 15 years. I no longer question myself on why I didn't do it sooner than I did, I now simply believe that when we have that ‘ah-ha’ moment, we have a choice to make: remain the same or explore our options to make a change (then DO IT!). Is there a choice you’ve just not committed to, but are ready to explore how to make it happen?

I possess a surplus of empathy for those experiencing ambivalence (I have been THERE!), and a passion to assist you in getting over that proverbial fence. Over the past decade I’ve continued my education, deepened my coaching expertise, and expanded my ability to help my clients focus on the present and look forward to their future!
