After a repeated day of an overwhelming, unfulfilling, stressful job, followed by 3 margaritas and night cap of Krispy Kremes, I knew I had to make some changes.

At the time, there were no "life-coaches", so I became my own, and created the life best for me - mind, body, heart and soul.

In 1986 I started my own company; Alive & Well, Inc. which allowed me the opportunity to be a key player in the evolution of worksite wellness consulting both the public and private sectors throughout North America.

My educational background is rooted in positive psychology, neuroscience, exercise physiology, health and life coaching, yoga, breathwork and somatic therapies which I weave with my heart-felt intention and intuitive gifts.

My thirty-year history also included developing and teaching mind-body programs, opening several yoga studios, working at health spas, facilitating global retreats and coaching thousands in personal growth and wellness of all kinds.

As a sought-after speaker, mentor and coach, I moved from the shores of Lake Michigan to Seattle, Washington in 2016 and founded Live Blissful and BeWell Retreats, which creates transformational experiences, including “Sleep Retreats” to unplug from a stress-filled world.

My programs, books, retreats and coaching are the methods I use to guide others toward greater well-being. I believe who we are is what we best offer to others and the betterment of our world.

I look forward to supporting you in being your best and living bliss-fully.
