About me

My passion is relationships! My calling is to build meaningful relationships and help others do the same. 

When I discovered the Enneagram, I was amazed when I read about my type. It was as though the author was inside my head. I realized I am not the only person who feels or thinks the way I do. It gave me permission to have more compassion for myself and a desire to shift away from my habitual ways of being. Other personality systems highlight our strengths and weaknesses, leaving us to figure it out. The Enneagram explains WHY. When we understand WHY we are the way we are, we can transform our lives. 

The Enneagram gave me a new language to understand myself and others better. It has profoundly affected all of my relationships, especially my marriage. After 23 years, my husband and I have a level of communication and intimacy I never thought possible. Once we learned about our unique communication styles, we had a framework and a new language that helped us work through past issues we had yet to make headway on. All of my most important relationships are better today because I applied what I learned. The Enneagram has changed my life! 

Before becoming a coach, I worked for the United States Marine Corps, organizing visits to the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron for high-profile VIPs. I was the Executive Assistant and Protocol Officer to the Commanding Officer. I have immense experience working with military men, women, and their families. As a former military spouse and now military mother, I understand service members' unique challenges.  

I have been helping people in the wellness space for over 20 years. 

While working at MAWTS-1, I owned two fitness studios and coached men and women to their fitness and wellness goals. I am a certified yoga instructor, barre instructor, and pain-free movement programmer. I incorporate body movement and breathwork into my coaching sessions when appropriate.

As a follower of The Way of Jesus, I find it very meaningful to help my clients grow in Christian Spiritual Formation if they choose. I welcome people of all faith traditions and honor each person on their spiritual path.

I live in sunny Yuma, Arizona, with my husband Josh, three adult children, and two mini schnauzers! I enjoy reading, cooking, dancing, camping, and spending time with my family. I am an Enneagram Type Four committed to lifelong learning and personal growth.
