Our Coaches & Trainers

I began working with troubled teens in 1994, helping them improve their communication, confidence, self-awareness, and relationships. As a wilderness guide and counselor in therapeutic outdoor programs, I gained experience in group dynamics, taught positive communication skills, led group therapy sessions, and gained insight into motivation and behavior while helping teens prepare for a new future.

My work in these programs led me to finish my degree in Psychology. While doing my coursework, I became fascinated by the results achieved with hypnosis in controlling pain, speeding the body's healing, and quickly replacing old habits. I certifed as a Hypnotherapist and Neuro-Linguistic Process (NLP) Practitioner. These trainings offered effective methods to help people gain clarity and insight, find inner balance, enhance performance, and move forward in all areas of their lives. NLP and Hypnotherapy are keys to advanced personal growth and integrative change. They work to help individuals get out of being stuck, easily and naturally, and redefine patterns, habits, and "past programs." I refer to these tools as, "The kinder, gentler path to personal change."

Certifying as a Life Coach was a clear next step in offering clients ongoing structure and support to achieve their goals and make their dreams reality. With it's focus on action and results, it helps my clients create a clear and consistent path for creating the life they desire.

Thought Pattern Management (TPM), an advanced brain training method teaches your brain to make it's own changes and updates. This powerful process can put you back in the driver seat of your life. It quickly and effectively can address learning challenges, focus and memory problems, and offers ways for students to excell in academics. A gentle and effective approach that offers results easily and naturally.

As a Personal and Professional Coach, I integrate these amazing tools of NLP, TPM, and Hypnosis, as requested by clients to update old habits and patterns that have been getting in the way. Rather than going round in circles as some Coaches may do, these powerful tools, empower clients to replace their own habits, and move forward more easily and comfortably. These tools are a powerful combination to springboard your life to the next level!

I work with clients all over the U.S. by phone. In Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA, I offer classes, workshops, and trainings designed to maximize life and tap into your boundless potential. Get the most from your life: Clear what's been holding you back, create your compelling future, and let's make it happen!
"If you are not 100% in love with your life, body, and business, we should talk!"
