Coaching includes the story of our why… what we value, what brings us joy, and what propels us forward. Before I have the honor of hearing your story, here’s a little of mine.

I grew up in Southeast Alaska and feel most at home surrounded by wind, water, and trees. I believe the elemental aspects of ‘place’ have a huge influence on our energy. I enjoyed exploring this concept while living in Japan and traveling as much as I can. My current home in the Pacific Northwest is a dynamic blend of city-vibes and the calm of natural spaces. Adventures near and far are best when shared with my partner, grown daughter, and other members of my “family-pod”.

My road to Reiki began in 2012 while pursuing a nursing degree. It’s not a coincidence that Reiki found me during one of the most difficult times of my life. Reiki has a way of presenting itself when it’s needed most. A comforting guide in my personal and professional life, Reiki is a tool that has helped me with anxiety, chronic pain, and other health concerns. I’ve been fortunate to study under several Reiki masters, with a style most similar to Reiki Master Diane Larsen at Seattle City Reiki.

At the start of the pandemic I heard a lot of, “What else? What else is there to help me with what I’m going through?” At the same time, I was asking myself, “What more do I need?” After studying with the Mayo Clinic’s Coaching program, I began combining evidenced-based coaching techniques with the principles of Reiki energy healing. This lovely blend of science and ‘woo’ supports all aspects of wellbeing to help fill gaps around what’s missing. This approach has provided a post-pandemic path forward for those I work with, as well as for myself.

In addition to my private practice, I also enjoy supporting a group of talented practitioners at our Nurture Wellness Space in West Seattle and within Swedish Medical Centers as a contracted Wellness Associate.

I very much look forward to hearing the story of your why and how it informs your wellness journey. Let’s talk about how we might work together in a free Discovery Session.
