I have owned and retired from a successful interior design business. What I have always found interesting is the “why we do what we do.” What makes us tick? It was during my design days that I discovered when a client invited me into their homes, they were allowing me into their most private place. This is where they lived, and where they shared with me the things that made their house feel like a home. I also discovered that it took a whole lot of trust in me for them to do that. That trust would open deep conversations, personal conversations that touched my heart. This sparked my passion to become a life coach. Helping others achieve their vision was and is my passion.

In 2000 I launched a women’s group called Women Encouraged. The mission was to encourage women to be all that they wanted to be and to do the things they wanted to do. From that experience came many success stories.

My passion has always been to encourage women to have confidence in themselves, to know they are enough, to find their passion and to go for it. But most importantly, they need to pay attention to creating balance in their life. That means to start taking care of themselves first – physically, emotionally, and spiritually – in order to reach their fullest potential. One of the hardest things for a woman to do is to put themselves first.
