Empowering through experiential coaching
Do you find yourself wondering what your life could really look like if you truly lived to the fullest? You are not alone. Many of us either don't believe in ourselves or don't see the way. It's common to allow fear to unknowingly limit our possibilities and in turn, our future.

I have done many things in my life and I am not done yet. I have lived a pretty amazing life, full of uncommon experiences that I initiated. I have learned and taught SCUBA diving and most recently breath hold ‘Freediving’ where I have been to 31 meters (101 feet) on one breath. I have learned to sail on the open seas and navigated a 40 foot catamaran across the Atlantic ocean twice. I have built a contracting business and sold it, twice.
We can all do more than we think we can do.
Fear is the limitation that often keeps us back.

Yes, sailing the Atlantic ocean on a 40 foot catamaran has dangers. There is a real risk of hitting a storm at sea, falling overboard, sinking, and collision with other vessels.
Fear prepared me to sail the ocean. I practiced short passages of a few days and progressed to longer passages of nearly a week before the three week journey. The big transatlantic passage included 25 days at sea between St. Thomas and the Portuguese Azores. Now that is a lot of blue. I researched and talked to every noteworthy sailor I could about safety at sea, navigating weather, managing resources and more. Fear told me to be ready for whatever comes and it did come. We punched through a 5 day storm and came out the other side.
I offer personalized coaching to help you unlock your full potential and to really get clear on what your business offers, who your ideal customers are, where to find them and how to scale.
Using proven tools and assessments such as Enneagram, I help others find their gifts through deeper understanding of motivations that underlie behaviors.
Applying assessments such as team Enneagram and interviewing team leaders, roadblocks are removed, aligning and moving the team forward together, opening new possibilities.
The water has much to teach us that can be applied in all facets of our lives. When a new level of understanding is reached, our relationships with ourselves and others is permanently improved.
As a Freediving Instructor, I teach others how to move through the water on a single breath. The experience creates inner peace which carries above the surface and beyond.
Freediving is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and development. Part technique and repetition, I learn to trust my skills and mentally cultivate the ability to let go. This unique sport cultivates learning, asking the question as to how best to move through the water smoothly and gracefully, conserving energy.
The joyful exploration and learning feels endless, my teachers are everywhere. Every time I am in a new environment, use a new piece of gear, or train with another partner, I have a different experience which enriches my understanding and capabilities for the next dive. Because of the muscle memory and repetition, my skills do not regress but rather build on each other creating new possibilities for the future. After not being in the water for months, I quickly return to where I left off last time and continue my skill progression and the journey continues.
Physically, this path requires healthy care of the body, instilling new habits which serve me outside the water as well. Flexibility, nutrition, hydration, mental and emotional reframing of discomforts are just some of what Freediving asks of me. The connection between mind, body and spirit is elevated. I ask myself ‘what am I feeling and what does it mean? What is possible in this moment?’ The awareness of the breath and sensations are heightened when immersed in the quiet stillness.
I leave the water with a deeper sense of calm, a centeredness that opens flow for the rest of my life. This centeredness brings inner peace and calm which positively alters my experience of my world. I believe this experience is felt by those around me that I connect with.
If this connects with you, connect with me.
