Thank you for visiting my BYOU page. All my life, I've held a certain passion in my heart - the passion for helping others. This led me to many years in the non-profit human-service arena, and, more recently, to earning my health and wellness coaching certificate from Georgetown University in Washington DC.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not a therapist, a counselor, or an advisor. As your coach, I will accompany you as you chart the path for your own journey. My coaching is based in the highest standards for health and wellness coaching, plus my own experience as founding executive director of a human-service nonprofit, and my 17-year journey of managing chronic migraine pain.
As a nationally certified health and wellness coach, I'm eager to show you how powerful compassionate, active listening can be for you in your life journey. You will find me to be attentive, honest, reliable, and always fully present to you. I offer a gentle accountability based on your own stated needs. For example, you may want to:
* improve your fitness
* change your relationship to eating
* find support during a life change, or career change
* improve your Pre-Diabetes or Diabetes eating habits
* work on better relationships with colleagues, friends, or family members
* and other topics based on your needs.
For general health and wellness coaching, you choose what you want to work on, and I'll be your coach while you develop a vision, goals, and action steps.
I also offer focused coaching for Living Well with Chronic Pain; Managing Stress and Burn-out; and Executives and Managers.
I'm an award-winning memoirist and essayist. My memoir - Nowhere Else I Want to Be - is about 10 of my 17 years as founding executive director of a residence for Washington, DC's un-housed women living with AIDS. It was a Finalist in May Sarton Book Prize competition, and the Finalist in National Indie Excellence Awards. I've also published many essays in literary magazines.
