Summary

I have been a Massage Therapist for 21 years. All throughout my career, I listened to clients troubles, struggles, victories, and life lessons. I could not give advice or recommendations for lack of a psych degree so I decided to change that. Becoming certified in relationship coaching has brought an added beauty to my skills in massage!

I have always been intrigued with relationships. Why they last or fail? What makes us choose who we do? How do we love so quickly then hate so suddenly? What gets in our way of greatness and love and passion and happiness? Just to name a few. Completing my certification in coaching opened up a world for me unlike any other. I have an endless desire to learn from the psychology and coaching world about all the whys of relationships and applying that knowledge to help my clients reach their desired goals in their individual relationships.

I have helped relationships on the brink of divorce find new definition and a way to heal and grow again.

I have helped communication and connection come into marriage and relationships that thought it was lost forever.

I have helped marriages that did not want saving end with understanding and co parenting skills of empathy and communication.

I absolutely love my career choices and hope to help as many people as I can. Because, life is too short to not try and love and grow!
