What type of coaching do you offer and to whom?
My coaching is body-based. People generally seek me out 
because they are experiencing stress, strain or pain. I use
movement education and very gentle yoga therapy to help
them. Typically, although not always, there is a connection
between the movement habits that created this pain and
something that needs change or attention in their lives. As we work, clients
discover easier and more supportive ways of both moving and navigating the
challenges of their lives.
Why did you get into coaching? What motivates you?
Coaching is a natural outgrowth of working with people’s bodies. As tension
and dysfunctional movement patterns let go, my clients naturally talk about
challenges they are facing or aspirations they have. An important part of my work
is to help them use their new found Body Wisdom to create positive and lasting
change in related challenging areas of their lives.
What differentiates you from other coaches?
I have a fine tuned understanding of the body and how by gently and clearly
introducing new possibilities for easier and more supportive movement you
also creates the foundation for solid and lasting life change. Who we are and the
choices we make in our lives are never separate from how we live in our bodies.
What values are important to you when working with clients?
I value the “Original Body Wisdom” of each person. Wisdom is located in all of us
and expresses through how we move and feel. I see my job as getting out of the
way so the deeper intelligence of each person can rise up and express itself.
What do you do for fun?
I like to dance! I also like conversation, creating great meals and getting outside
in nature.
