About Me

Coaching and Yoga are two separate services that I have successfully combined over the years.  Yet, it is important to know that there is no one size fits all approach to change.  Some clients feel happy to access just coaching or just Yoga/breathwork.  We can certainly craft the sessions that are right for you.

Because I believe so deeply in the MindBody connection,  my passion is to roll out a mat with my clients; to combine breath and movement to their thought changes.  I do have clients who are primarily interested in talk and would rather meet as such.

The vast majority of us are living what we would call a good life...yet, it's likely not our best life.   There are places in our lives where there is room for change and growth. Growth and change are our role on this earth. Yet it can leave us feeling unsettled and unsure.

This is where a life coach will shine as your partner in mapping out that path...whatever it may be. And in tackling the overwhelm and confusion that often accompanies thoughts of that which we so desperately desire.

There are certainly times when clinical psychotherapy and/or medications are appropriate and necessary. Such as when dealing with cases of severe depression, severe anxiety and suicidal thoughts. These are areas where a coach is not appropriate and not qualified.

Positive Psychology Coaching is a coaching approach grounded in Positive Psychology and related research, designed to help people navigate transitions, set and achieve goals, and create other kinds of positive change in their lives, work, relationships, and well-being, and to move toward greater happiness and success of whatever sort is meaningful to them.

Positive Psychology Coaching differs from other forms of coaching in its focus on strengths. All seasoned coaches focus on personal assets but Positive Psychology Coaching offers a specific means for doing so that includes empirically validated assessments, theory about the origins and benefits of strengths use and language for identifying, developing and employing strengths.   Another key characteristic of PP Coaching is it's focus on positive effect. (i.e. when we see ourselves move forward, it inspires us to move forward)

A best friend ( or several)  is a wonderful gift to have. But is your best friend an objective professional who you can trust to brainstorm with you on the most important aspects of your personal or professional life? Sometimes, our friends can’t tell us the truth, as much as they would like to, because they don’t want to hurt us. A good coach is never afraid to tell you the truth and is willing to be fired at any time. By their very nature, friendships are a give and take of support and a healthy part of our lives. Your coaching session, however, is all about you!

It won’t surprise you to read that there really isn’t a clear answer to this question.  While it is true that people are different, with goals and aspirations that differ in size, scope and duration.    

You will find that the growth is so exciting that you will want to keep moving your own bar.   As your goals keep expanding, I am here for as long as you need me.

I see clients in my Plymouth, Michigan office or via Zoom or Skype.
