Stress. Overwhelm. Chaos. Confusion. This was my life as a single mom twenty years ago. I was a teacher, a professional development leader, and a single mom, always feeling the pressures of finances and the overwhelming reality of managing my work, my students, my life as a single mom, my social connections, and more. I was tired, worn out, and depressed. I knew there had to be a better way. Thus was born my voyage into the worlds of Personal Growth and Meditation. The results were immediate and promising. As I felt the changes, I dove into the research, into types of meditation, and eventually into the whole world of mindfulness, of which meditation is just one part.

As I always do, when I learn something that has helped me, I want to share it, so I ventured into teaching students, teachers, and others about mindfulness, and eventually, into life coaching. Eighteen years later, I have not only felt the effects of mindfulness on my life, but I can attest to the myriad of ways my students (youth and adult, personal and professional) have shared that mindfulness has helped them.

I offer life coaching sessions, hypnotherapy, courses developed around mindfulness awareness and practices, and meditations, as well as a blog, Becoming Human[e]. My sincere hope is that these offerings will benefit all who engage with them.

My credentials include the following: B.A. and M.Ed in Secondary Education, Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Master LIfe Coach (with specialties in Happiness, Success, and Goal Attainment). I have studied with or studied the works of major authors/experts like Deepok Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Don Miguel Luis, Louise Hay, Tara Brach, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dr. Brian Weiss, Bruce Lipton, and more. The reading and exploration continue as there are always more questions to investigate, more understanding to cultivate, and more experts emerging in this area. I hope that should you join me on this journey, you will experience near understandings and develop the skills to help you grow the life you desire.
