One-on-one coaching for people interested in personalized guidance and support with beginning or maintaining a mindfulness and meditation practice and cultivating greater well-being and happiness.

I base my coaching on the person-centered and strengths approach based on the belief that individuals have within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and for altering their self-concepts, basic attitudes, and self-directed behavior.

I coach individuals with a gentle and kind approach with compassion, empathy, acceptance, understanding, and an open heart. I ask pertinent questions, to assist you, the client, in moving forward to create the discipline and vision for your life. I use reflective inquiry to explore your next steps and clarify your goals.
