My Story
Get Aligned With Yourself
I help women have a happier life by making better decisions. I learned how to do this because I made some pretty crappy decisions in my life. Like, deciding to start "the most successful business ever," only to have it fail in less than one year. Or "being the perfect mom," only to find myself in a battle of wills with a 2-year-old every day on our way to preschool. Those and many other choices didn't turn out the way I thought they would (surprise!) and this made me really mad. And frustrated. And, if I'm honest, kind of desperate. How could I be trying so hard and getting nowhere (move over Sysiphus, I've got that boulder!) And then I realized that maybe, just maybe, I needed to learn something from all this failure and frustration.
That's when I learned the art of self-compassion, AKA: the Art Of Giving Yourself a Break.
Here's the bottom line: We make choices every day - some may say every minute of the day, and all those choices add up. If you're aligned with your purpose, you make great choices that lead to more growth, more life, and more joy.
When you are not aligned with your True Self - and few of us are in every way, every day, you make choices that cause frustration, anger, loss, fear and so on. In my 20 years of practicing self-compassion and teaching others to do the same, I have found the secrets to becoming more aligned and making better decisions that serve you by supporting your purpose. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients, and look forward to helping you. Get in touch to learn more.


“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
