If I think there’s a good chance I can help, we’ll set up a time for a free phone consult to discover whether we are a good fit. Look forward to hearing from you!

Is it time for a Life Reset?   

Are you re-evaluating what’s important to you?

Do you want support and structure to get clear on what you really want in this life, and how to get there? You know what? Getting clear about what you really want is the most important part. From there, we can get you there.

As a life and executive coach working full-time in this space since 2011, and a published author and entprepreneur, I help my clients with a diverse set of problems – always with baby steps that add up to big change.

Working with me will be an educational adventure–and a lot of fun! 

Coaching goes beyond accountability and getting things done, though that will happen too. We go deep too to find the thoughts that are causing you to get in your own way, the thoughts that are causing suffering. We root them out and I teach you how to rewire your brain for good with new perspectives that serve you.

Life has a way of draining the life force energy out of us, which makes it harder to make change. I transmit a coaching philosophy that emphasizes joy and pleasure: when you shift your attention to what makes you feel energized, everything else will naturally follow. 

In my life coaching practice, I help you with the following. If you are an entrepreneur or executive seeking coaching in those arenas, check my executive coaching page.

Moving beyond people-pleasing, staying silent and feeling guilty — to start speaking up and taking up space

Navigating life transitions such as breakups and divorce so you can move on faster (healing heartbreak too)

Dating, relationships, and sexuality in this modern world 

Learning to be OK with being single after a long relationship or love addiction

Taming your inner critic and building self-compassion

Figuring out next steps in your career, business, or creativity (many clients are writers)

Reconnecting with your inner sensuality as a path of knowing yourself, and your worth

Along the way, we will uncover your core values, so you know what matters more to you than anything, and you know what to say yes to–and when to say no.

I’ll teach you key practices to work with fears and self-acceptance too, so you are able to coach yourself long our work is done.

Working with your body somatically will be part of our coaching too. Often the fastest and most effective way to create change is through your body. When you anchor a lesson in your body, it becomes part of you. 

My background in as a life and executive coach who also has expertise in sex and relationships allow us to talk about just about anything! And if it’s beyond my reach, I’ll tell you so and suggest who you talk to. 

Who it’s for

My clients are quirky. They are not your average people, and I love that. My clients are highly accomplished, creative, women (and a few self-aware men).

They need someone they can trust to talk with to help them sort through what’s bogging them down, and to get clear about what they really want. They may have tried therapy and now they want something that gets them out in the world, growing and changing. 

They range in ages from twentysomething to sixtysomething, and they live all over the world: the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, South America, and Africa. The best part about working via Zoom (or Whatsapp) is that you can live anywhere. We find a time that works for both of us, and you can do this work from the comfort of your own home,

I work with people of varying races, ethnicities, sexual identities, and ages. We don’t have to share all the same aspects of our identities. The important thing is that we are willing to talk about our differences.

Among others, I’ve helped:

doctors, writers, entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs, therapists, nonprofit professionals, lawyers, investment bankers, startup founders, elected representatives, engineers, branding and design professionals, diplomats, management consultants, doulas, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) consultants, and academics

Many of them are avid listmakers!

What clients say

How it works

Six months is the minimum amount of time I see to make lasting changes. On the consult, we’ll assess how long your program will be based on your goals.

We talk 2x a month for 50 minutes to an hour. We talk via Skype or phone so you can do this work from the comfort of your own home.

Between the session, you will have an action plan to keep you moving and growing, getting things done, and accountable.

I call the homework “playwork” because we make it feel more like play than work. Insight follows experience, so it’s important that you do it!

Some examples? Your playwork could be anything from punching pillows to release anger to taking a dance class to making a list of risks taken that have paid off. 

Why I Became a Life + Executive Coach

I know from personal experience that coaching can indeed change the course of a person’s life. Life coaching changed mine.

My own wake-up call when I was in my mid-thirties. After co-founding and selling a tech company in Silicon Valley, and publishing two books, I fell into a funk of cynicism and burnout. I had gotten lost doing all the things an ambitious professional woman is supposed to do, and lost touch with myself and my true desires in life. 

Working with an executive coach, Diana Chapman, who focused on body connection gave me the courage to follow an impulse to go traveling in Brazil. That decision and others that followed led me to completely change my life. After a yearlong solo trip through South America I wanted to do something meaningful, not go back to an industry that I didn’t believe in, that would also give me time to write, think deeply, and travel, three of my loves.

I became a life and executive coach myself who helped women who similarly wanted to get out of their heads and into their bodies and sensuality, to help them forge new chapters and take new risks. I also fell in love with tango, moved to Buenos Aires, and started my next book, a memoir called Wet, which is about healing the aftermath of childhood trauma through experiences of sensuality, tango among others.

I draw on all my life and professional  experiences, from more than a decade of coaching, living abroad to starting a company in Silicon Valley, publishing with HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, entrepreneurship, tango dancing, and solo travel, and all the work of deep healing from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.

My training comes from CTI, the top life coach training organization in the world. The tools I have collected along the way have helped hundreds of clients. After more than a decade of coaching experience, I trained with Gay and Katie Hendricks in their curriculum of Body Intelligence and Consciously Loving, and became a Big Leap Coach. (Diana, founder of Conscious Leadership Group, transmits much of the Hendricks’ work through her work)

Most importantly, I only share with you evidence-based tools that I have used myself and know work from my own experience. If my story resonates with you, and you think I may be able to help you, reach out and we can discover if I can.
