As a Coach
I truly enjoy working with people, creating space for change, facilitating shift moments, and getting my clients into action. Becoming a Coach was a beautiful evolution through several previous careers. The common thread with each of these stepping stones was one of creating receptive environments for others. Empowering opportunity and growth. I am a graduate of the Core Essentials Program with Coach U, accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I also hold an MFA from Eastern Michigan University. One definition of Coaching that is definitive for me — “Coaching is love in action, in a professional way.”
My Clients…..
My clients are people interested in developing into their best selves, creating more abundant lives. Together – we explore possibilities and take powerful new actions.
What I Love
As a fifth generation Michigander, I love the forests of northern Michigan and the Great Lakes shoreline. When I’m not off exploring, you can find me enjoying my community, at Espresso Royalle Cafe having coffee with friends, seeing a movie at the Michigan Theatre, cooking something delicious in my kitchen or working in my studio.
My true loves are my family, daughter Melina, son Brendan and his wife Amy. Five (adorable!) grandchildren. I’m married to Jim, and we, with our sweet dog Fox, live in a river north neighborhood in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am the oldest of seven children, and love our big, noisy, frequent family reunions.
Family also includes many others, former students from around the world, who came to live with us, and became part of our family. From Ukraine, Tajikistan, Italy, Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand, it has been a deep pleasure to follow their growth and to see the good they have done in the world.
