Resolve to reconnect fully to joy, inner peace, well-being and contentment, to creativity, imagination, wonder, awe, play, to love, health, vitality and hope…
Life’s Quest Coaching is about nervous system regulation in Spirit, Mind and Body – because we cannot heal physically, spiritually or emotionally if our nervous system is in a state of fight, flight, freeze or fawn. When our nervous system is dysregulated, it is wired to focus on the threat, not on healing. Healing happens when we are at peace in our bodies, when we are nourishing ourselves, in our relationships, at our workplaces, when we know we are “on our path”, experiencing joy, financial stability and security, and taking care of our physical selves with real, nourishing food, movement and restorative sleep. It’s all connected!
When we address our whole life, we can heal. This is Life’s Quest Coaching!
Imagine being able to remain calm, joyful, peaceful, regulated, and hopeful while feeling confident and resourced, no matter what is happening around you and in the greater world…because when we can stay calm, we can make good decisions, we can handle this, whatever this is, and we know it, we know ourselves, we have agency, we are confident.
Coaches generally charge $3K to $10K for a 3 or 6 month program that guarantees you results if you do the work. I could do that, but…I don’t. It doesn’t really fit in with how I work with people because I like to continue working with you if you want to continue working with me, and I want that to be possible for us. The clients I have now have all been working with me for 2 – 4 years. This is deep work towards lasting change. It can happen in 3 or 6 months, or it may take more time. I want to be able to continue as needed. I am all in.
Here is how you can work with me:
Your commitment – The cost is $125/week so it is usually $500/month paid by the first of the month, unless your session happens five times in a month when it will be $625 for that month. If given notice before the day of the session, it can be rescheduled.
In addition to our private sessions you will be invited to a once/month group call and you will be able to join a private group on Facebook for added support!
That’s it. I have openings now for 10 new clients. I look forward to hearing from you!
Happy New Year!! Let’s make 2026 the best year ever!

More About This Life’s Quest - My Approach
On this Life’s Quest, it’s as if you set out on an adventure to discover who you are, where you came from, what you value, where you are headed, where you want to go, and how you can get there. It may take some digging; you must discover what you have lost, identify what you no longer need, and what you cannot live without. You find out where you are healed and where you have more healing to do in order to become empowered, confident and sure of your path, and I support you on this exploration.
This is your Life’s quest, your personal adventure! In healing you take control of otherwise unconscious impulses and reactions and you can then make decisions around how you want to respond. Otherwise we all will react unconsciously, and then we are not in control.
When we are healed we can choose our way forward. Our goal on this quest? For you to be able at the end of your days, with full knowledge of the challenges you have faced, look back with clarity and pride in your accomplishments and in the person you have become, with gratitude for the joys and blessings you have received; to look back on a life well-lived, in pursuit of your highest and best self, and for the greater good. This is personal, emotional and spiritual growth. This, I believe, Life as a grand adventure in which we track joy, truth, wisdom and wonder, is our task and why we are here, each one with unique challenges and setbacks to overcome, choices to make when Life gets weird or hard, gifts, talents and abilities to help point us on our way, accomplishments over which we can be proud as we deepen in our capacity to understand, love and forgive ourselves and others – this is what matters as we look back in our final moments here on earth.
Life Quest Coaching is my signature program, developed over many years through working as a psychotherapist, teacher and coach, informed by my studies in psychology, music and religion, my many experiences, travels in the world and in America, being a daughter, friend, mom and grandmother, falling in love with and interacting with the natural world through nature photography and hiking, and my deep passion for others and belief in the greater good.
My approach is a holistic approach that takes into account the whole person, spirit, mind and body. It draws from various modalities and is individualized for each person who comes to work with me.
Everyone has the ability for growth and healing; this is the underlying assumption in my work with clients. In session with me you will find a safe and supportive space where you can explore your deepest thoughts, feelings and experiences. My clients have shared with me that they feel this sense of safety almost immediately, even though we are meeting on-line. The distance between us drops away and we connect over who you are, what you have been through, how you want to grow and heal. I am here for you. You feel it. I have years and years of experience as a therapist, coach, and a human being who has studied extensively what it means to be human, what matters, what do people care about when looking back on their life, how we heal, and how we self-actualize, each with our own unique challenges. I have had many life experiences. I am a mom, a grandmother, a teacher, a mentor, a speaker, a student, an author, musician, and lover of nature and photography. I have accomplished many of my own goals, and I have failed at times, too. I understand things, and clients report that working with me is an experience unlike anything they have experienced before.
Everyone has an innate need for growth; that is why we are here, but our culture does not always allow for us to tap into our potential. We twist ourselves around in order to fit in, and we lose touch with who we really are, what we really feel. We numb out, believing that our truest goals are insurmountable. We numb with food, alcohol, shopping, screen time, status, unhealthy relationships, unhealthy coping skills, meaningless work, etc., and we avoid thinking about why we are here and what really matters. We pretend to not care, but our truest selves care, deeply. Our self-deception catches up with us, showing up as anxiety, depression, loneliness and physical illness. We study, read and learn about tools we can use to deal with these symptoms, and this is good and helpful.
In my work we continue by healing the underlying causes and reconnecting to meaning, purpose, vitality and joy!
I have worked with many, many clients from every walk of life. I welcome you, one and all!
Personal Coaching for Professionals, Leaders and Future Leaders
What qualifies me for this work – to work with you, the Leaders of the World?
First of all, I care about this world and you are the ones having an impact. This is a way that I can have the biggest impact, too. This impact we are having – this is our job, this is why we are here.
My ancestors were leaders with great courage – they were on a mission and so am I. I am here to help move this world forward in a good direction, a better direction for all. I feel that in my bones, even on a cellular level. I am here for you, Leaders of the World! I am here for you with years of experience, a brilliant mind and a heart full of compassion. We have to get this right. Now is the time! Who are you? Where do you stand? What do you have to say for yourself? Leaders know the answers to these questions! These past many years I have been in training for this work in Leadership Coaching – focusing first on my family. I raised three amazing kids, a doctor, a college professor and a professional musician, three kids with different paths towards their own genius and impact. I then gained great experience helping others find their way to their greatest life’s joy and impact. I worked with many people as a psychotherapist, coach, teacher and mentor, through the pandemic and to where we are now. I am grateful for all of this. I come to you now, leaders, to help you move towards authenticity, away from what isn’t true for you if need be, to level up, find peace, be who you know you are meant to be, together to help heal the world.
Come and work with me. If you are unsettled and seeking clarity, come and work with me. You know who you are and if this is for you. If you have lost your way, I can help you get back on your true path.
