COACHING BIO
As a certified estrangement consultant and coach, I find purpose and meaning mentoring others to shift their hearts, transform their relationships and heal generations. I thrive on helping others to choose curiosity as they work to repair their relationship with their estranged loved one and opt-in for heart-centered connection instead of continued distancing through judgment and blame.

My experience as a formerly estranged and now reconciled mother AND adult child, I bring a unique and different perspective to estrangement consulting and coaching practices. Having been on both sides of the fence so-to-speak, I provide clients with an inside look at what adult children or a parent is likely seeking in order to be in relationship with the other?  After my own estrangements and  subsequent reconciliations, as well as facilitating two support groups for estranged moms, I gained valuable experience about where challenges were most prevalent and what worked to either end  or successfully heal and then transform relationships.

I’ve been coaching and mentoring others through life transitions for nearly two decades and today I specialize in working with estranged people, having been certified as an estrangement coach in 2023, who feel disconnected and or stuck and are seeking new ways to repair their relationship with their estranged loved one so as to reconnect in healthy and loving ways. The trajectory of each parent & adult child relationship is individual and therefore, each has very unique needs. Knowing what those needs are and how best to support them is a very specific art form. While I am always learning and growing, this particular art form is one that I have significant experience in.

I live, work, play and podcast in Seattle, Washington and Tampa/Orlando, FL, USA.
