With 30+ years in mind/body coaching, I blend ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and personalized strategies to help you make confident, fulfilling career and life decisions. I often find myself partnering with entrepreneurs and leaders of organizations, offering my services worldwide from my base in San Francisco.

Background

My path to mind/body coaching was catalyzed by a personal tragedy—the sudden loss of my brother Scott in 1991. Initially lost and overwhelmed, a simple yoga class became a transformative experience, helping me unlock emotions I didn't realize I had suppressed. This led to a two-year sojourn in India, where I studied yoga and meditation. I returned to university to study Buddhism and later earned a Master's in Traditional Chinese Medicine, deeply intrigued by its integrative approach to mental and physical well-being.

Approach

I bring to my coaching practice a unique blend of empathy, intuition, and directness that my clients often describe as transformative. With each client, my goal is to create an individualized journey that feels as if it's specifically created for them. Whether you're facing burnout, reassessing your career, struggling with work-life balance or navigating complex personal challenges, my approach is rooted in authenticity and deep, empathetic listening.

I am known for my ability to pick up on subtle changes—be it in facial expression, voice, or posture—that often point to deeper emotional states. This awareness has been refined over 30 years in the healing arts, whether as a yoga teacher, acupuncturist, herbalist or coach. It allows me to ask the questions you didn't know needed asking, cutting to the heart of what may be holding you back.

My clients appreciate that I am more than just a 'cool, calm, rational voice.' I'm someone who actively challenges ingrained thought patterns, even when it feels uncomfortable. I am committed to guiding you through the clutter, helping you focus not only on your core struggles but also on the opportunities these challenges present—be it in your career, interpersonal relationships or life's big questions.

I also bring a rich toolbox of theories and practices from various mind/body traditions to the table, providing you the flexibility to find methods that best suit your unique circumstances and personality. This adaptability enables me to work effectively with a diverse range of clients. My clients often report feeling more resilient, aware, and connected to their own lives as well as those around them as a result of our work together.

Through it all, my ultimate aim is to empower you to make fulfilling life decisions based on a strengthened mind/body connection. This isn't theoretical—it's experiential. I know firsthand that unlocking the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, and sensations is not just essential for healing but for thriving in all aspects of life.
