I’ve been on a journey to heal relationships in my life that had to start with me. Learning to heal and love ourselves brings about change in those we attract and love in our life.
I’m a Transformational Coach that works with women that want to take bold and bad ass action to align and heal themselves through mind body work through self love.
> Do you have unwanted emotions, reactions, and resentments to others, spouse, significant other?
> Do you want love and keep looking and don’t know how to find it?
> Do you have needs that are not being met and you wonder why you are not being heard or important to those around you?
Transformational Coaching will help you get on track to heal yourself from the inside out, shift your mindset, and restore balance in your life and fill you with more JOY!
My own journey was bitter sweet. Middle child of 7 kids, daddy issues, relationship problems most of my life where nothing seem to work. I fell into depression often and wondered why I seemed so invisible and unimportant. Along the way to healing and being coached myself, I found the only love we need to start and end with. A love for ourselves. I want to share and help you heal with all my life expertise and training in Transformational work and my 17 years of being a compassionate healer through massage.
