I am a success coach who works with entrepreneurial and professional women all over the world. I blend creative goal achievement and cognitive coaching techniques with holistic health strategies to inspire clients to take charge of their lives, aim for the sky, and live a life that is more authentic and fun. I am also an author and speaker, writing articles on weight loss and wellness as well as life as a Mompreneur. I coach individuals as well as groups in addition to holding workshops, seminars, and teleclasses.

I have experience working a diverse variety of fields. I have worked as a fundraiser for a national nonprofit, done professional marketing work, owned two small businesses, and served as a mental healthy counselor. I have worked with inner city women, helping them to get out of poverty and make a better life for their children. I have taught life & business skills displaced homemakers, helping them to achieve financial and emotional independence. In addition, I have provided assistance to victims of sexual assault and continue to be a strong advocate for victims' rights.

I built all of my small businesses from the ground up, on a shoestring budget. I am an expert relationship builder and a marketing and customer service specialist.

My most recent adventure includes blending motherhood with business ownership. I understands the special challenges that working and entrepreneurial moms face and have a passion for helping other moms (and those who want to make this transition) to find more time for themselves and prioritize their tasks so that they can spend more quality time with their families.

PERSONAL SUCCESS

Just a short while ago, I was overwhelmed and experiencing stress-related physical symptoms of stress. Although running a successful business, the joy was gone. Success had a high price attached to it, and I was on a mission to find a higher sense of peace and enjoyment and to start living a healthier life.

After living years in denial, I decided to take a really good look in the mirror and take responsibility for my bad choices. My chins were standing in the way of my happiness, and I decided to do something about it. My journey taught me that there is really more to losing weight and getting healthy than just counting calories and going to the gym. I had done all that before, yet I was still puffy and bloated, using food to make myself feel better. Food was not the answer to my stressful and unfulfilling life! I made a commitment to make my health a priority, and with the help of a wellness coach I discovered the hidden challenges that were standing in my way and designed a program that worked for me. I learned to love exercise and healthy cooking, and have created a new, permanent lifestyle that has helped me to work toward the body that I want without sacrificing the things I love.
