As a coach, I bring my experience and expertise as well as my intuition to this process as I partner with my clients to champion their dreams and aspirations. I am committed to providing unconditional support, and a safe place for individuals to identify their unique strengths, gifts and talents."
WHAT COACHING MEANS TO ME:
“Personal life coaching held me accountable to the commitments I made for “myself”, which allowed me to fully embrace my life and pursue goals with a renewed sense of purpose, passion, and peace. Doubt shifted to confidence and resistance was replaced with a willingness to “let go and trust the process.” Through the experience of coaching, I discovered another area that I’m most passionate about; supporting others to manifest their fullest potential. I am a coach, I often have a coach, and I fully embrace the total concept of what "Reflections" Life Coaching is all about-Remembering Who You Are."
