A BRIEF BIO...THE WANDERING EDUCATIONAL PATH
 
I wound up in bodywork and then coaching seemingly by accident, but really I've just always been called as a healer.  I meandered through a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at WSU, then flirted heavily with a Master's in Soil Science (also at WSU) until I realized I needed to work with people instead of data and materials.  I left school with nary a clue as to what I really wanted, and about a year later acted on a whim dredged up from the ether and enrolled in massage school.  I learned about structural integration early on in my studies and was fascinated with its principles from then on.  In 2013, I became a licensed massage therapist and practiced in Washington until 2017, when I moved to Idaho.

FINDING LIFE COACHING

Those early years in Idaho were filled with soul-searching and personal growthl.  I've realized that my deep passion for helping others goes beyond healing the body, which is where the coaching bit comes in.  I made so much progress in my own habits, behaviors, and attitudes since I really committed to a journey of personal growth, that I wanted to be a catalyst and guide for others on that journey.  I know quite intimately to know what it feels like to be so stuck, disillusioned, frustrated, and fearful that you are desperate for a positive change.  I have been in that place where you still believe there has to be something better or something more, but try as you might (maybe for years) you can't seem to find or create it.  It is in my own finding a way out of that and into a space so much more spacious and brave than I ever thought attainable, and realizing just how possible and doable it is, that I find my calling to coach others.  An old friend once called me a "portal to possibilities," and I am excited to be moving every deeper into that position and identity.
