There are many reasons women seek my coaching and end-of-life doula services. They might be in the middle of a big transition such as divorce, retirement, or an unplanned job loss. Others are redesigning their careers or launching their businesses. Women facing a life-threatening illness look for support to help them navigate how they want to spend their time, be remembered, and communicate their final wishes.

I partner with women wherever they are on their life journey. I provide a safe space for women to tell their stories, brainstorm, clarify their intentions, develop strategies to overcome obstacles, awaken to their true potential, and move forward from a place of strength.

Let’s work together to gentle your journey.

Coaching and psychotherapy do have similarities. They are both grounded in a safe, confidential, and structured conversation built on a relationship of trust. They both support clients to identify solutions to problems, address obstacles, and build toward a positive future.

Robert Biswas-Diener, author of Positive Provocation, shares that “Psychotherapy addresses clinically significant distress and coaching never should.”

Or, as a good friend recently remarked, “When it came time to think through my career and submit a successful job application, I sought out a coach, not my therapist.”

Contact me to explore how we might partner together to build toward your positive future.

The menopause transition has three stages, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Perimenopause usually begins in the mid-forties and can last 8-10 years.

End-of-life doulas provide companionship, comfort, and guidance to those facing a terminal illness or death. End-of-life doulas offer non-medical holistic emotional and spiritual support along with assistance with practical tasks. They also share information and resources with the dying person along with family members and loved ones to support informed decision-making. You can learn more about the role of end-of-life doulas at INELDA.

I partner with terminally ill and dying persons to design and carry out a plan to meet their unique needs and ease their end-of-life journey.

Social entrepreneur Marc Friedman coined the term encore career to describe a new vocation later in life with a public or social purpose. Are you considering an encore career?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that uses gentle hand movements to guide the flow of beneficial energy through the body to reduce stress and promote well-being. Reiki has been found to promote relaxation, boost mood, improve sleep, and ease pain.

I might use reiki in coaching sessions to assist clients to relax and center to maximize their session.

I use reiki as an end-of-life doula to encourage calm, reduce pain, and promote ease at the end of life.
