Why I Became a Coach 

Over the last 15 years, I had 2 beautiful children; went through postpartum depression; felt guilty about working; felt guilty when not working; was bullied at work; left an unhappy marriage (he's a great father); and lost my true voice while trying to live a Pinterest-perfect life. Even though I had a very loving family and friends, I was afraid to share that I felt unhappy because, on the surface, I had a perfect life!  

One night on the couch, flipping between numbness and tears, I realized that I deserved to live fully and joyfully. I didn’t have to conform to society's expectations. My opinions, ideas and contributions mattered. I mattered. Also, no one was going to save me. It was up to me to change.

If I wanted to live a life that I loved, it was 100% up to me to take the steps. 

That’s why after 20 years of asking curious questions as a marketing professional, I left the corporate world and returned to school to become a trained life and business coach. I trained at Erickson International and hold a PCC accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Today I am living a heart-lifted life. (Yep, I named my business after that feeling!) One with more joy, calm, curiousness, strength and abundance. Sure, I have off days. That’s a part of life. But I am fully myself with my kids, partner, step-kids, family, friends, and clients.

Outside of my coaching practice, you'll find me sipping coffee with friends, travelling (when it’s not a pandemic), learning about neurology, psychology, practicing yoga, and spending time with my family.

I share moments of beauty, inspiration and mindfulness insights on Instagram and Facebook. Come join me!
