ABOUT ME

Passionate Coaching Professional

I have been working as a Certified Coaching Professional since 2015 and as professional dancer and educator for over 25 yrs. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals with specialized coaching techniques that facilitate an individual’s growth  and development with issues that are causing them distress, anxiety and self doubt.  

It’s an honor to work with people, whether in life coaching or in the dance classroom setting, from young to old, I see people as individuals all striving to make the most of the person they know they are capable of becoming. Shifting thoughts and feelings by mind management and habit change, I teach the person to see past their fears, wounds and the misbeliefs that are holding them back.  

My passion is helping people push forward on their journey of overcoming and achieving all while experiencing incredible joy!
