My Qualifications

I am so excited to use my myriad of education, professional and life experiences to bring you personalized, whole hearted, thoughtful and transformative coaching services to support you as you live your legacy.

 

I hold dual coaching certifications from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) (ACC path) and the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC). My coaching incorporates neuroscience, brain health, cognitive fitness, appreciative inquiry, science of happiness, and positive psychology/positive intelligence theories.

In addition to my legal career, I qualified as a Yoga Alliance (200 hour)  yoga  teacher and as a chef, focusing on nutritional density cooking.
