Frequently Asked Questions

As a life coach, I  support you in rediscovering who you are at this point in your life and guiding you to identify and manifest your dreams. By building a relationship with my clients, I can help you to stay motivated and on-task, helping you move toward and achieve your long-term, far-reaching goals.

I am trained to help take you from good to great. If you have issues or conditions that are keeping you from functioning (including, but not limited to: depression, trauma, alcoholism/addiction, and mental illness),  I recommend you pursue counseling.  While therapy aims to heal the past, coaching looks ahead to the future while only using the past to inform the present.

I have named my practice this because it resonates with who I am as a Xennial. I grew up watching "The Golden Girls" and learned so much from the characters and their interactions with each other. They embodied the qualities I would want myself and my friends to have: authenticity, humor, wisdom, and connection.  We are all on a journey of becoming our best selves, and it is my goal as a coach to facilitate that process with my clients.

Healing Touch is a modality of energy work, similar to Reiki. I am pursuing certification but have taken all of the courses necessary to perform the techniques involved.  It is my favorite way to actively love others by shifting energy to facilitate improved health and well-being. I do Healing Touch by donation only, which will be applied to my Level 5 certification training fees.

I have a passion for serving women born between 1965 and  1985, but I would never turn anyone away if they are older or younger. I understand and relate to the unique stressors and demands upon Gen-X and Xennial women who are sandwiched between caring for aging parents while parenting tweens and teens, and who are trying to make sense of their life now and what they want going forward. 

We are a largely-forgotten generation (and micro-generation) sandwiched between the larger and louder Baby Boomer and Millennial generations. But I believe we have a valuable perspective and the world needs what we have to offer.

I would never discriminate against anyone! All people are welcome to work with me, regardless of age, gender, race, color, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, or genetic information. Even though I primarily serve the female population, I am open to coaching or doing Healing Touch on any human.

Some areas of opportunity I do life coaching around include (but are not limited to):

• Adjusting to Realities of COVID-19
• Transitions (Divorce, Menopause, Empty Nest, Retirement)
• Overwhelm and Overscheduling
• Grief and Loss
• Career/Job Change
• Marriage, Family,  and Home Life
• Travel Plans
• Dreams and Goals
• Weight and Body Image
• Chronic Illness
• Caregiver Fatigue
• Values/Identity/Ideal Self
• Spirituality

For parenting-specific challenges, I highly recommend Emily at Evolving Parents.

For life coaching, each client jointly signs a 6-session commitment contract that I create to fit your individual goals and plans. Healing Touch sessions (conducted by donation only) can be stand-alone.

The first step is to schedule a free 30-minute introductory session. That can either be done in person, over the phone, or via FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Zoom. In that session, we will get an idea of your goals, how well we work together, and what our next steps should be from there.
