Discovery
After my daughter was born, I started to question what my true purpose was in this world. I think motherhood changed the way I looked at life. Although I enjoyed my work as a freelance artist, I felt an urging to discover more and re-evaluate what would give my life even more meaning. I felt like I was "sort of" doing my life's work, and then again, something big was missing. I started asking myself, "What more am I being called to be and do?"
My turning point happened after I attended a Called & Gifted Workshop, where I began to discern my spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. A calling was awakened within me and even though I didn't recognize my gifts at that time, I knew I had an incredible passion and awe for the process of discernment, discovery and use of our spiritual gifts. I loved how being curious and learning about gifts of the Holy Spirit invites us to turn our focus to Jesus. I enthusiastically supported other Christians in discerning spiritual gifts. Usually Christian's find that they are already using their spiritual gift without even realizing it! That was the beginning of my path in nurturing my faith and experiencing deeper intimacy with God.
Interruption

The more I studied and learned about how miraculously God created us for a very special purpose, I started recognizing how disconnected I had been to my true self, and how that disconnection affected every aspect of my life. Meanwhile, the perfect transformational storm was forming. I found myself struggling with particularly difficult personal challenges in my life (financially, emotionally and physically). I was overwhelmed, over-stressed and anxious and it was taking a toll on my relationships, my health and my spirit. I wanted to let go of my worry and stress and feel in control (and happy) again but I didn't know how. I tried and tried but just couldn't do it. I was over-thinking my way through letting go.
Healing

I finally broke down…. AND broke through! I let go. I surrendered. In that moment, I felt an incredible, loving, interior stirring. I experienced God's real healing presence and recognized that He is with us always. That was the moment that my life took a new, AMAZING, direction! I knew I was traveling on a different path - a healing path of discernment, connection, and discovery. Jesus helped me change my perspective. I felt HOPE, and started seeking SOLUTIONS to my problems. My friends noticed my shift and wanted to make changes in their lives too. So I began to help others move through the stress, fear, and self-doubt that was interrupting their lives, while exploring how God may be calling and preparing them to deepen their relationship with Him.
Back To Discovery

My moment of surrender and healing was a blessed moment that sparked a re-conversion in my heart. That was over ten years ago. Our Heavenly Father has blessed us with the mysteries of life in Him so vast and limitless, that there will always be more to discover, and there will always be an opportunity to enter more deeply into the heart of Jesus. As I continue my own journey, it is my passion to accompany others on theirs. I especially love helping my clients learn how to release stress, and work through emotional challenges. Together we connect the dots between life challenges and calling preparation, discover ways to align life with core values, deepen their faith, and experiencing the gentle joy of cooperating with God's holy will.
I have a deep appreciation for our own uniqueness as human beings. It is my commitment to provide you with a loving, judgement free, safe space for you to discover your true, authentic self, and find your own answers to bring clarity to your greatest source of joy and purpose in this life. As your coach, I will help you create short and long term action plans, and support you as you follow through with your action steps over time.
Training
I have received training through Flow Coaching Institute, Holistic MBA's Transformational Coaching Method, Quantum Healing Center, Christian Healing Ministries, and Positive Psychology. I have blended my experience as a Visual Facilitator, Freelance Artist, Pastoral Counselor and Catechist, with my experience in holistic healing, christian prayer ministry and life/business coaching.
Philosophy
My transformational coaching philosophy is based in the knowledge that we are each wonderfully and fearfully made by our creator, who loves us beyond our human comprehension. Regardless of where we are in our life journey, and what we are experiencing, the invitation to renew ourselves in Christ is ever-present.
Inner Healing
My inner healing philosophy aligns with traditional Christian teaching as professed in the Nicene Creed. I believe in the healing power of the Holy Spirit and give all glory to Jesus Christ for the miraculous healing and transformation I've witnessed as I serve others in His name.
I acknowledge the value of the medical field, and do not claim my work to be a substitute for appropriate medical diagnosis and/or treatment. I believe God works miracles of healing in mind, body and spirit through Jesus Christ. While some of my coaching involves learning to support our bodies to heal naturally, through proper nutrition, breathing exercises, and meditative/contemplative prayer, I do not participate in any kind of healing that calls upon a spiritual power other than that of Jesus Christ (e.g., no spiritualism).
