It took me a while to get here, went through 3 different careers, studied for each, practiced but never found the fulfilment I sought. I struggled to find my purpose because I knew I had more to give.

And then I discovered that the one thing I did so effortlessly was a ‘gift’. Everywhere I go, people find it easy to talk to me and I do listen, not only to hear, but to understand the spoken and unspoken message in every conversation. And so back to school I went and with a lot of studying, learning, and coaching, I could not only listen to people but as a professional I can now listen, understand the pain, the confusion, the worries. I can also share the burden because my life experiences have taught me the value of empathy. More importantly I have found purpose; I am now privileged to walk alongside the most courageous people each day, as we seek answers to life’s challenges.

My inspiration comes from the endless possibilities that lie within each individual I meet. We only have to get through the unresolved problems, the long-standing patterns, the endless questions of grief, the current indecisions, and fears and then, the potential of a person to live their best lives becomes a reality.

I believe I can help you if you are struggling. It takes courage to reach out, but I know that you will be glad you did.
