ABOUT ME

After retiring from my role as a School Speech Therapist & Social Skills Instructor for 33 years, I decided to put my knowledge, skills & passion into supporting others in a different way. I incorporated my Life Coach training with aspects of self-regulation and executive function techniques learned throughout my career. I then tapped into the 23 years of practices and knowledge acquired in energetic healing, mindfulness and spirituality, knowing that we are complex beings who function best and can achieve the most when we find balance in all aspects of our mind, body and spirit.

Around the same time, it became evident that there was an overwhelming need Younger Adults & Teens were facing in the areas of Life Skills, Executive Functioning Skills, Communication, Self-Regulation & Mindfulness. These are areas that I supported in my school-based profession and also in raising four children. People of all ages are feeling a need for support, even for people to just hear them and see them. Parents are at a loss for how to handle the deficits they see in their young adult & teen’s coping skills, organization and ability to be self-sufficient which can lead to stress in family dynamics. What isn’t realized is that Gen Z is wired differently. This neurological difference in addition to societal changes are putting them at a disadvantage that neither they nor their parents understand. This can change with instruction of the key life skills listed above.

An eclectic background as someone who is grounded in social & educational techniques and also versed in meditation, mindfulness & self regulation strategies makes me uniquely qualified to support people of all ages who want to learn how To Do Life Better.

Energetic Healing: Over 20 years ago at a course in Cranio-Sacral Therapy, I was introduced to the concept of energy healing in which one could move energy between their hands and through a point in a body to relieve pain. This sparked a curiosity in me as I’d always sought to help others. Over the years I took several courses in Energy Healing and also became a Level 2 Reiki practitioner. Energy work can help release blocks within chakras, lessen the effects of stored trauma in the body and reduce pain levels in most people. It has a very calming effect and is something anyone can do if taught. Through energy work and toning for each chakra, clients experience an encompassing sense of peace and relaxation, releases of stuck emotions and often relief from head aches, sinus pain and discomfort in various muscles and joints. Sessions take 30-45 minutes and are well worth the time.
