When I was a child I was curious about my higher purpose in life and on many occasions asked the question, “Why am I here?” It makes perfect sense looking back that becoming a coach was perfect for me because I have always asked deep and profound questions and my sense of curiosity was at times insatiable! I wanted to understand the real reason for my existence. The answers began coming to me in the shape of desire! I had a burning desire to ease others pain and lift them to a place of joy and hope. As a teen I began reading books to help me understand some of the Universal questions I was seeking and quickly became interested in self-improvement through Spirituality, self-reflection and self-awareness.
My desire to know myself better and to help others has always stayed strong within me. This path of growth led to me explore various practices such as meditation and the well known self-development course, Landmark Education. My journey continued after having children and exploring my life further for its purpose and value. By understanding that my passion is supporting people in their life I began volunteering as a tutor in my children’s elementary school. I could clearly see that one of the main areas these children needed help with was having a sense of belief in themselves. I knew I could bring that level of confidence to them through encouragement and most importantly by believing in them myself. I believed in them with every part of me. After all, don’t we all have a desire to be believed in? Being in the presence of these children was a gift to my life – they have such wonderful insights and views of the world. My favorite part of being with these kids was seeing their faces and smiles as the trust and friendship blossomed between us. Daily interaction gave me opportunities to shine the light on their strengths and wonderful qualities and put a smile on my heart.
This very path – a desire to help others opened up a space within me and led me to coaching. I am a Certified Professional Coach with International Coach Academy (ICA) and a Certified Belief Closet Practitioner. This lovely and exciting field has given me the opportunity to encourage, support and champion people into their true greatness and magnificence. It is what makes me happy and fulfilled. It is my wish for you to have the life of your deepest desires – to embrace who you are – to embrace your life with joy and gratitude. To always be growing and stretching, transforming and morphing into the highest and most profound vision of YOU!
Happy Journeying!
