Have questions about coaching, menopause, or working with me? Here are some answers to help you feel informed and confident as you explore your next steps.
About Health and Life Coaching
-
Do you want to change your habits, start a new goal or feel stuck but don't know where to start?
As your coach, I will be your cheerleader, your accountability partner and know how to use small steps for big changes. -
A health and life coach helps you clarify your goals, navigate challenges, and build sustainable changes to improve your well-being and life satisfaction. It’s a collaborative process that supports you in living with greater alignment and vitality.
-
Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go, helping you take practical, aligned steps forward. Therapy often focuses on mental health diagnoses, while coaching centers on growth and forward momentum.

-
Sessions are offered virtually via secure video or phone, allowing you to connect from the comfort of your home.
About Menopause Coaching
-
A health coach with specialized training in perimenopause and menopause support, providing evidence-informed guidance on body changes, nutrition, exercise, and mindset during this transition.
-
A personalized program to help empower you to address changes in your body and proactively prepare for longevity and quality living for the decades after menopause.
If you already have symptoms, we will focus on regaining energy, and confidence, addressing your goals with a holistic, practical approach. I consider the body - mind - spirit connection in all of my coaching.
I recommend that women become informed and start preparing for maximum long-term health benefits starting in their 40’s before they become symptomatic in the perimenopause phase. Simple, small lifestyle changes can make the transition smoother.
-
Perimenopause symptoms can begin in your 30’s and continue for up to 15 years before menopause, with timing varying for each woman.
Everyone’s experience of these changes are different but common symptoms include hot flushes, insomnia, brain fog, unexplained weight gain. Although there could be a host of other symptoms that may affect different women.
-
In the US, the average age for onset of menopause is 52 years old. The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) considers 12 consecutive months without a period the current definitive diagnosis for most women.
-
Because women are often dismissed and under-informed about perimenopause and menopause, coaching can provide clarity, symptom support, and empowerment to navigate this transition with confidence.
About HeartMath® Coaching
-
The science-based practice of synchronizing your heart and brain.
This alignment balances your nervous system and creates coherence between your heart, mind, and emotions — which is key to clearing stress and unlocking your higher capacities.
-
Heart Coherence clears the way for you to show up as your best self — calm, centered, and resilient. By aligning your heart, mind, and emotions, you create the baseline for better mental, emotional, and physical health.
-
Anyone can have a time when the body is in a state of incoherence. This means that the body functions less efficiently. This can lead to increased reactivity, reduced mental clarity, and impaired decision-making. Over time, prolonged incoherence disrupts the body’s essential systems, leading to feelings of exhaustion, weakened immunity, brain fog, poor sleep, heightened irritability, and digestive imbalances. If you are not stress free this could be you.
About Spiritual Coaching
I️ offer guided study of "A Course in Miracles". Please contact me for more information.
A Course in Miracles is a unique spiritual self-study program—a course in mind-training—designed to undo the illusion that you are separate in any way from God or your fellow humans. At the level of the mind we are all united as one. When we learn to live this truth consistently, fear, anger and guilt give way to a profound sense of inner peace. The Course systematically leads you to experience God’s Love in all your relationships through the practice of forgiveness (releasing the past), the willingness to receive and follow higher guidance, and the cultivation of miracle-mindedness. Happiness, peace, joy, and love are the natural outcomes of the Course’s teaching.
