Life Coach

My work as a Life Coach happened as an almost continuation in the same passion as my 11 years working as a Doula in Birmingham. I’ve long been intent on supporting others in their desire to find their own strength and reach goals they thought impossible.

My personal journey with the many times of transition in my life has helped me to support others in theirs. I’ve walked through lots of inner work healing, inner child reparenting, EMDR trauma therapy alongside years of therapeutic talk therapy. I’ve faced early childhood abandonment, the deaths of both parents at a young age, divorce, being laid off, entering the workforce after years out of it, and the incredible path of being a single mom to four kids.

I can say from experience that trauma, broken dreams, and grief are familiar friends. And in the midst of that pain and years spent learning how those events have shaped my view of life, love, and the meaning of life - I find it an absolute gift to journey forward. I work with my clients to accept the invitation to step into their story and begin to create what it is they long for most.

It is vitally important to know what has brought you to right now. It is equally crucial to hold space for every bit of pain and hurt as it arises. And also, we hope! We get to dream of a life we’d be happy living.

My work as a Life Coach is of support. I don’t believe it’s ever about being broken because of our trauma, deep wounds, and pain. I know that my clients are resilient and capable to discover their own inner knowing, their own power. I help support the journey of remembering, coming home to yourself.

I help my clients process the way forward. I help you connect to your hope again. I will hold space for all of your story while you get to imagine the “what next?” Life transitions, finding your voice, reconnecting to joy and pleasure, deciding between several options, and any other theme that arises, we get to explore it together.
