MY STORY
I was born in Brooklyn and labeled a street kid along with the other kid's in the neighborhood. Together we learned to adapt to our circumstances, seeking and yearning for more from the stories we shared. Dreaming and seeing past your own nose had you laughing often, but it also gave you the ability to imagine the future. If you were aware, you developed an instinct or “street smarts” to navigate through your experiences and struggles. But street smarts wasn’t enough.
The profound influence of my grandmother and two caring and selfless nuns sent me on a deeper journey of introspection, a zest for understanding life and exploring the human condition. That zest manifested in a love of children and humans. Even at an early age, I found myself looking to other children to satisfy my curiosity of human behavior. Why was Billy so mean? Was he struggling at home? I am still amazed how much I learned from other children, and continue to learn from them today.
Our childhood lessons show themselves throughout adult life. What we learn early can unravel like a gift or can create a lifetime of confusion, misgivings, set-backs, or blocks. Our challenges are personal, and when we disassociate from the important role they play in becoming the unique person we were born to be, our insight towards our goals can be met with confusion, uncertainty and unclarity. We have all had an experience that yearns to be heard. Awakening our inner voice is a resource that determines where we are , where we are going, what we hope to achieve.
As your life coach, I hope to create a safe space where we can build a trusting relationship to help uncover the power of your inner voice. By harnessing that power, we will explore the wonder and transformative nature of the human condition in support of your personal needs and goals. I am always striving to uncover the power of self and harness the power of the human condition.
I am a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend, and ex-wife and have shared and learned from all the ups and downs that come from those roles. I have researched and studied subtle life influences for over thirty years and explored the notion of “the voices in our head” and how those voices challenge us to question our life choices.
I'm always striving to uncover the power of self and harness the power in the human condition. I believe you can transform your life and discover the endless possibilities that await you. It’s an honor to be a part of your journey of self exploration and mindful wellness.
