Want to know more about me?

I grew up in New Hampshire, spent some time in the Caribbean and Japan, and now live in Arizona.

One of my favorite words is “flummox”. One of my favorite movies is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I’m married and have two kids cats.

I like to read about knitting more than I like to knit.

I’m not embarrassed to admit that the idea of a “bonus hole” makes me snicker. (OK, I am a little embarrassed to admit that. But only a little.)

My friends tell me I’m a rather curious mix of computer nerd and brain-yoga-loving hippie.

Once upon a time I was a scuba instructor and then I worked in IT for a decade. Now I help people create an entrepreneurial life that feels right, and full of joy, and sustaining.

What about the “C” word?

Yes, I am a coach.

But, for the longest time, I didn’t want to call myself a coach. Because I thought coaching (especially life coaching) was about being whipped into shape, pushing through your feelings and winning at any cost. Also, the world of personal development can be really cheesy.

Can you relate?

So, instead I talked about being an entrepreneurial mapmaker, and a midwife of creative projects. These are accurate descriptions, but can also be confusing for people who are simply looking for a way to reconnect with their lost dream, work through what’s holding them back, and create support systems that help instead of overwhelm.

So, let’s be clear: I am a coach.

I’m a coach who believes we can start where you are and build a step-by-step plan to get you where you want to be. I think really great systems create space for your creativity, rather than stifling it. I know that sometimes listening achieves a lot more than doing, and that other times we just need to let loose and not take the whole damn thing so seriously.
