PASSION FOR A LIFE LIVED WELL
I am passionate about living the best life possible. This means living life with a deep sense of joy, peace and connection, and where I experience the true freedom that comes from not being ruled by emotional reactivity.

TRANSFORM SUFFERING INTO A GIFT
I lived the first half of my life on an emotional roller coaster. My moods were subject to the people around me. If they were displeased, I felt I had to change. If they were upset, I tried to fix it. I yearned to experience peace, joy and stability but had no idea how. I pretended to the outside world that I was fine. But on the inside I felt very alone and like no one understood me. It left me in some dark places.

FROM CHAOS TO THE EYE OF THE STORM
I learned that every upset in my life was the key to finding that solid, calm centre within myself that I longed for. Upsets became opportunities to achieved what I longed for most: to be the calm in the middle of any storm. It was difficult to walk into my fear that held me prisoner, but I didn't have to do it alone. I surrounded myself with skilled people who held me gently and supported me to my current-day experience of emotional freedom.

We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves
rather than asking things to change for us. ~Stephen Covey

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS: AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
I feel blessed for all I've learned that affords me the rich, satisfying life I have. This includes a joy-filled, connected relationship with my husband where I feel safe to bring the most vulnerable parts of myself. I am grateful for the privilege of raising an amazing son who not only fills my heart but shows me where I still have room to grow. Finally, I am blessed to live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of BC where I enjoy living in harmony with nature, hiking, kayaking, gardening and the beautiful community of friends I have cultivated in Roberts Creek. I count my blessings not just for all the wonderful things in my life, but also for all of the struggles as they have added a rich depth to who I am.
