Why I Do This Work

I understand what it's like when everything you thought you knew about yourself shifts beneath you—because I've been there.

As a certified grief educator, resilience coach, and energy healing practitioner, I work with clients navigating change in many forms: the ending of something familiar, the desire for something new, or the in-between space where clarity hasn’t yet arrived.

Whether you’re grieving, recalibrating, or intentionally choosing a new direction, I offer grounded, compassionate support — because I know how disorienting change can feel, even when it’s wanted.

The Season of Change That Shaped Me

For much of my life, I lived at full speed — working long hours in a high-tech career I loved, raising two wonderful sons with my husband of nearly 30 years, and building a full, connected life.

I had already experienced loss and understood grief on some level. But nothing prepared me for the series of profound transitions that unfolded over several years — changes that touched nearly every part of my life.

During that time, I navigated:

the sudden loss of my husband
the end of a 24-year career
a serious health diagnosis and treatment
the unexpected loss of my sister
supporting my mother through memory care and eventually grieving her passing

Each experience brought a different kind of grief — and a different invitation. Not just to endure, but to release, re-evaluate, and begin again.

The Turn Toward Healing

Not long after my husband’s death, I worked with a life coach who helped me find new steadiness in the chaos. I caught glimpses of myself beyond survival mode — and of a future that still held meaning.

From there, my path became one of intentional healing and conscious rebuilding. I kept moving forward — grieving, reflecting, re-imagining my life, supported by friends, family, and a growing connection to my own inner wisdom. Along the way, I explored coaching, energy healing, and spiritual practices that helped me restore clarity, strength, and trust in myself and the universe.

What I learned most deeply was this: Resilience isn’t about returning to who we were — it’s about learning how to live in alignment with who we’re becoming.
