How I Can Guide You through Change as a Life Transitions Coach and Intercultural Trainer

~ Are you going through a transition with your job, where you live, or any relationship?

I can show you how to combine the wisdom of your head and heart to find and make the most of the gifts inherent in any change – even one you thought you didn’t want – to live a richer, fuller life where you’ll feel happier, more centered and fulfilled.

~ Are you moving to another culture, coming home after living in another culture or working with people from other cultures?

I will coach you on how to live fully in your new culture, connect successfully with the host nationals, and expand your experience of the world while feeling comfortable in your own skin.

~ Have you had one or more losses in your life, with a job, relationship, money, health, relocation, death or divorce?                 

As a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®  and Intuitive Grief Coach (See "Classes & Events") I will teach you the processes that will enable you to recover from past losses directly, resulting in your heart being healed, more energy, peace, and satisfying relationships.     

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, call me for a complimentary consultation.
