Your steps to transformation


Create a life that embraces your greatness

I coach storytellers to find their real stories, achieve goals, and realize their untapped potential. You can be happy as the real, unique you.

Together, we can unlock your adult creativity by reframing childhood memories and distracting triggers. You’ll be surprised to see how unresolved early traumas still get in the way – until coaching helps you let go and shift old patterns.

New communication tools will change how you live, love, work and play. The new you will get new results now, and in the future.

This is a trauma-informed storytelling process for listening to your body. My skills cover ancient wisdom to cutting-edge, 21st century expertise. I’m trained in the Daoist approach to Classical Chinese Medicine and the Five Elements. I’m also a professional certified coach (PCC), which is coaching’s gold standard.

There’s more! I have decades of experience in storytelling and communication as a retired journalist and an active professor of journalism, creative writing and speech communication.

What I’ve learned over 70 years on this earth will save you time, elevate your outcomes and address anxiety. In fact, you’ll probably see results right away. Here’s more about me.  :)
