Continuing Education in Wellness, Training, and Coaching

Fascinated by human behavior and personal choices since nursing school in the early ‘70’s, my own journey has led me down many professional and educational paths. Gaining degrees in fields that include the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of who we are, I’ve been approaching a whole person concept to wellness for a long time.

I’ve spent many years using my skills in corporate education exploring everything from leadership skills, to stress, to work-life balance, team building, reactions to change, emotional intelligence, appreciative inquiry, humor and communication skills. Coaching is a great expression for my experiences, beliefs, and desire to inspire others in their journey.

At a personal level, I married at the age of 50, have no children, no pets, and no delusions of grandeur. Aside from maintaining an adequate daily chocolate intake, I polish my humor bone, exercise faith beliefs and run in circles. I’m a thinker, love clouds, own a lot of books, value life’s lessons, and would rather be on the screened porch as anywhere. I’m best connected to God through song, love to let my body move to music and take pleasure in helping people laugh…I’ll settle for a smile.
