"Trust you are having the right experience,"
I say this to myself daily because presence is a lifechanging process.
​
Like all good stories, mine starts with a little bit of trouble.
I've walked the path as a rebellious poor kid from the gritty streets of the Bronx in the 70's, and 80's to the corridors of corporate America and beyond. Now, I live in my dream city, San Diego, doing what I love most: Coaching, Writing, Acting, and helping people heal through transformation, but the journey wasn't an easy one. Born and raised on the streets of New York City, the concrete jungle was my playground, and it was not always a safe place. Yet, New York was dripping with possibility, and that upbringing bred something fierce in me - a deep love for creativity, storytelling, and busting through any limitations life tried to put on me.
​From running multi-million dollar PR campaigns at the top PR firm in New England to creating and developing historic education and coaching programs for troubled teens and young adults to live their best lives in Portland, Oregon.
​
Then I hit a wall. Divorce, death of loved ones, you name it. Getting older was not for the squeamish. My writing stalled, and my creative passions seemed to fade. I often asked myself, "is this all there is?"
As we move through a bunch of life experiences we realize we have the power to change and transform.
I've learned so much about how we all get stuck and need each other to really shine and enjoy life. We are ALL born to create and to find joy in life, but most of us let fear, doubt, and other people's limitations dim our brilliant sparks.
As a Master Certified Transformational Coach with two decades of prestigious experience, I'm here to be your personal torch-bearer, to stoke that creative fire in your belly until it becomes an unstoppable blaze.
Your brilliant spirit is my rocket fuel, and I can't wait to see you soar.
