Before I share who I am, let me tell you who I am not…

I am not someone who followed a traditional career path just to earn a paycheck, or someone who has spent her adult life providing end of life care, or even been raised by a family in the elder care industry. I haven’t sat bedside at the end of many loved ones’ lives. Therefore, unlike many in my field of End of Life Care, I have not always seen my career path leading me here.

Who I am is a Coach. I’m a compassionate, intuitive, kind, loving human who has always followed a calling to be of service to others in practical and meaningful ways. I help empower individuals to be proactive in all aspects of their lives to help avoid the stress and chaos of being reactive during life’s unexpected twists and turns.

Before it was even a thing, I was coaching individuals to be the best version of themselves and to live their lives in alignment with their priorities. I’ve spent my adult life coaching others at different milestones of their life. In the Health Club Industry, I’d coach people to adopt fitness as a way of improving their health and longevity. As a Life Coach I’d help clients overcome the obstacles getting in the way of reaching their potential, be it in relationship with career, significant other, friends, body, food or most importantly, themselves. In a society of double income families, packed schedules for both adults and children, and an ever growing population of obesity, I’d coach families to make better food choices to support their busy lifestyles.

Well into the second half of my life, I had an epiphany. Perhaps the most important milestone in our lives in need of coaching, is our last chapter, our last milestone. As a society we are sorely lacking in the tools, dialogue, transparency, support and resources around End of Life Care.

When I first became a life coach, 20 years ago, most people didn’t know what that was and to be honest, weren’t open to the idea of it. Now, you can get a life coach, business coach, personal training coach at the ready. Yet when it comes to the topic of death and dying - which we are all going to face some day - where are the coaches? Where is the guidance, education and support?

It’s here.

I am here.

It is my mission to help initiate these hard conversations; to demystify, to celebrate and to give people the resources to get through this time in a meaningful way so that this final milestone, this final Earthly act of living, can be one not based in fear, anxiety and regret, but a milestone of peace, gratitude and contentment.

A transition from life to death that has you . . . Leaving in Love.
