Certified Transformational Life Coach, in the Psychosynthesis tradition

In reflecting on what forces have influenced me over the years, professionally and personally, I find that all roads have led me to the creative process and a deepening expression in the world.

• How many ways can I know who I am and what I’m made of?
• How may I experience others in their uniqueness and fullness?

For we are all creators of our lives and becoming consciously joyful of that process has been and will always be my purpose in the world.
