Guiding Women Stuck In The Rollercoaster Of Emotions So They Can Be Present In Relationships That Matter Most
Vision:
Through the wisdom of traditional Yoga, I hold space and guide women back to their inner wisdom, enabling them to support those they love while staying true to themselves.
Mission:
I help heart-centered women in midlife to drive constructive change from within, ultimately reshaping their internal world and the world around them.
I do so with transformational coaching guided by time-proven principles of Yoga laid out in Patanjali Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita made practical with concrete systems, frameworks, and processes to guide women throughout the rest of life.
She specifically works with women in midlife who are ready to be more conscious and present to themselves so they can make a conscious choice in how they show up in the second half of their life. Most women have spent the first half of life focused on everyone else, so when big shifts start happening with children leaving home, parents aging, career switches, and intimate relationship changes, feeling lost is common.
What the heart truly desires is to be more fully connected with oneself. All women deserve to stand centered in a trusting and loving relationship with themselves.
A paradigm shift is necessary to facilitate this process. The shift I teach addresses the root causes of your suffering through the 5 obstacles to a peaceful mind…
Avidya – Ignorance of ‘Who I Am’
Asmita – Roles and Identities are misidentified as ‘Who I Am’
Ragas – Attachments and Likes of each role and identity
Dveshas – Aversions and Dislikes of each role and identity
Abhinivesha – Fear of death each role and identity has, as well as the body dying
And the 3 Cornerstones to Inner-Wellbeing:
Begin Within
Clarity Within
Practice Within

What happened to all of your energy? You’re in the prime of your life and your life seems like too much. Of course life brings change, but really…why so much now?
🔶 Maybe your kids are almost grown up and now your parents are struggling more. Or, you’re in the position you’ve been working so hard to get to at work and now what?
🔶 Your significant other is having their own life challenges and how they are coping is negatively affecting you. You’re tired of compromising yourself to help them feel better. You can’t even remember the last time you did something truly just for yourself.
🔶 Underneath it all, there’s always been constant uneasiness and worry. With all the life changes happening, that background noise has gotten so loud. Worry, doubt, and judgment are taking up too much space in your mind and you’re tired of it.
🔶 You told yourself you weren’t going to “be like my mother,” yet here you are spending more time worrying and ruminating than enjoying life… just like her.
🔶 You want to be present in your life, not just using a nightcap and social media to zone out because your mind is on overload constantly.
If you can relate to any of these scenarios, then you’re NOT ALONE! I can help just as I have done with hundreds of other women.
I know that my clients have transformed when they feel confident in meeting whatever life brings because they know exactly what to do to move through the challenges to find a calm, clear response.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MENTAL WELLBEING
Like many women, you may be a master juggler and multi-tasker. You’ve probably been doing it most of your life, not only taking care of other people’s physical and material needs, but also their emotional needs. You’re so good at it, you’ve lost yourself in it. This is what we’ve all been taught – to be ‘good girls’ and make sure others are happy. Otherwise you’re judged as being (dare-I-say) a ‘selfish bitch.’
We don’t end up seeking help until things really suck – issues with health, on the verge of a nervous-breakdown, self-destructive coping affecting how you function, feeling angry, frustrated, and resentful towards those closest to you. Again, we’ve been taught that unless you are bed-ridden, you have to show up and keep the world together for everyone else.
At this point, usually we are trying to pull ourselves up by:
My most successful clients come to me knowing there has to be a different way and knowing they want to connect with that loving and compassionate person they’ve had glimpses of…
They just don’t know how to do it. That is where I come in. Being someone who has been there, I teach what I live because it’s helped me and I know it works.
What is needed goes beyond quick fixes. It is a new way of how to view yourself, your emotional reactions, and the world. It’s time to get to the root cause of suffering, not just keep weeding at the surface.
