About Me
I’m a transformational, healing-centered coach who will guide you to lead a compassion-filled life.
I’m a human, solo parent to a gentle and nerdy 10-year-old boy, a writer, a spiritual journeyer, an academic, an explorer of the world and humanity, an ambivert, a highly sensitive person, and an empath.
I love coaching women to reconnect with their inner wisdom and to learn to trust themselves.
I focus on coaching spiritually-oriented women in a trauma-informed context.
I base my approach on my decades of experience being immersed in and teaching about the world’s religions and wisdom traditions.
I am especially interested in a gentle and holistic approach to religion and spirituality that considers each person’s unique background, needs, and goals.
In my path to success, I often sought validation from others and became stuck in the grind.
I often found myself motivated by my inner fears and anxiety and a scarcity mindset rather than my inner wisdom and realizing that there was abundance in the world.
I found myself in toxic relationships, including a marriage that drained me of my spirit and identity.
I went through years of struggles since childhood.
It was only after going through a divorce when I made the intention to enter on a path of healing.
I came out on the other side thriving.
I awoke from my slumber and developed deeper self-realization when I started to set clear boundaries in my life.
I learned to trust my intuition and inner wisdom.
My relationship with religion had been damaged along the way, despite being a professor of religion.
I had a profound spiritual yearning that constantly gnawed at me, a desire to connect with my Creator.
I was not willing to desert my chosen religion. But I could not continue following it as I had before.
This time it had to be on my terms:
I worked to remove the fear-based motivations that were embedded inside my subconscious and intentionally turned towards love-based approaches to religion and spirituality.
For many years, I “played the game” in the field of academia and life, collecting what I perceived to be social capital along the way.
I was motivated by my love of learning and teaching, as well as reading and writing.
I pursued my undergraduate and graduate studies, traveled the world seeking knowledge, applied for grants, jobs, leadership programs, and more.
I got a fair number of acceptances and lots of rejections along the way.
I failed miserably at times, but I also managed to sustain myself in a stable academic career, working my way up the ranks of academia to become a tenured professor of religious studies.
