The youngest in a family of accomplished superstar siblings (6 of them!) and parents, I got to experience and observe relationship dynamics and the exchange of energy since before I was born (even in the womb with my twin). I was considered above average in grade school and high school, excelling in math and science, but struggled through college, knowing that if I just finished my engineering degree, I would be marketable. Even though I was always interested in relationships, engineering is where I could be gainfully employed, and successful. As I worked in manufacturing, it became all to apparent to me how people are treated as replaceable in the corporate, machine-like world.

My spouse, also disillusioned by the corporate drive to be profitable over humane, was able to focus his energy on starting a business to offer something unique in the manufacturing environment. In the process, we created and ran a successful organization that employed people for their talents. We built our small start-up business designing and building industrial water filtration systems to $3.5M in annual sales.

I have lots of experience in breaking the mold to stand out, providing my unique talents to the situation to get the job done. Given my broad background in business from fortune 500 companies to start-ups, I have an ability to see relationships and connect the dots within. It was during this process that I realized I was missing the most important relationship that anyone can develop to help them with all of their other relationships – a relationship with myself! How scary this was! I had achieved success according to others, but I still didn’t know what I wanted out of life because I was always gauging what others thought would be best for me. I knew the next step to fulfillment in my life was to incorporate this innate knowing into my way of living.

Developing my relationship with myself has run the gauntlet of emotions from despair to pure joy, ultimately guiding me to uncover and trust my true innate strengths and challenges. This process now allows me to help others uncover their strengths and challenges. So what I offer is the guiding hand to help each individual to nurture a relationship with him/herself to achieve the fulfillment they desire.
