About Me

Finally take the mask off and spend more time being authentic... and doing what you love!

Your burning desire to change and to live your life doing what you love is not just a dream or a “maybe one day… maybe someday.” It’s possible now… and I’m proof.

For years I ran my own successful business, earning a six-figure income with a successful private practice and consulting for various businesses. Although I was making quite a bit of money I was busy—too busy—and something was missing. I had sacrificed passion for profit and replaced faith, wonder, and joy with fear-filled living…make a living! I was exhausted!!My passion had dulled and there was a silent scream in my head that kept growing louder and louder.

But one pivotal day I asked myself: is this all there is? My GOD I needed to change things, but how? I felt stuck! Everyone and everything needed me, or so my ego kept telling me.

I was so tired… Everybody but me mattered! I’d make resolutions every New Year feeling sure that this time I would maintain the changes. But slowly the old habits would creep back in.

I had to do something different, so I did. Guess what ?... You can, too!
