My Journey
The path which led to my becoming a Holistic Life Coach began with a divorce in 2000. During that very difficult time, I had a spiritual awakening experience which started me on a path that eventually led to the development of my intuitive abilities. Through the process of healing from my divorce, raising my son, and eventually beginning a new family with my husband, Jeff, and his son, I have learned many of the skills I share with my clients as a life coach.
I was introduced to the field of life coaching, by a clinical social worker (Lynne Cardilino of Stony Hill Mental Health and Wellness) through a non profit support group I was running. This led to me enrolling in a life coaching program with the Life Purpose Institute and to finally opening my own practice in September of 2005. In August of 2007, my colleagues and I started a holistic community and resource center called Sanctuary at Crossroads. In January of 2008, I launched a new website called Empowering Lightworkers. This website offers a coaching program and eClub specifically for Lightworkers (those who share their spiritual gifts to help others).
In the process of healing myself, I've learned how to help people discover their own authenticity and to find a way to share the gifts of who they are with the world. I've gained lots of very practical skills about reducing stress and managing energy and time resources, as well as how to cope with the demands of being part of a family and yet still an individual. I have also been blessed with the miracle of seeing first hand evidence that we are truly spiritual beings and that God is always with us. I am grateful everyday for the opportunity to share this experience and the wisdom I've gained through my own journey with those I work with as a Holistic Life Coach.

My Journey
In 2000, I met and worked with Nicole Canter, a Life Coach at the Wellness Center at Cuyahoga Community College, Eastern Campus. Our work together helped me attain my dream of managing my own business and working for myself. In 2007, Nancy approached me about collaborating together. This invitation helped me to realize yet another personal goal, fulfilling a desire to work with individuals, in addition to nonprofit business clients. Through my professional career and personal coaching experience, I have learned what can be achieved through action goal setting and allowing yourself to be open to the possibilities and exciting paths your life may take. In my current consulting, working in partnership with Crossroads Coaching, I now provide this type of mentoring to individuals, especially those seeking a more fulfilling career or needing direction or organizational help with their small business. I use a unique combination of coaching and consulting techniques to help each reach specific goals. Both techniques focus on current situations and plans for the future. And with both, we work together to make the best choices for your success and happiness.
I assist individuals and organizations in helping each to reach their highest potential. I am ready to help you achieve your goals and create happiness and fullness in your life!
