My Story.

My story is long, it’s filled with traumas, it’s dotted with my not feeling good enough, sprinkled with generational dysfunction, and outlined with a body filled with fear. What I have experienced in my healing journey is to investigate with curiosity, have a growth mindset, allow vulnerability, release involuntarily old holding patterns and to feel and know on the deepest level that the Universe has my back.

I spent my childhood on the northern shores of Lake Superior and had a sense of the interconnectedness of all things from a young age. In my 20’s I started a family which was the catalysis for wanting to change my generational dysfunctional patterns.

For over 15 years, I built a small socially and environmentally business called Creekside Herbs & Art — not just a retail shop but a destination and way of life. I created a spiritual walking trail system along a creek, display and medicinal gardens, a sculpture garden intermixed with native wildflowers, and a place to come for a variety of workshops and festivals that focused on educating, healing, community and herbalism. I also worked for the Conservation District as a coordinator of invasive species, conservation, education and watershed issues.

My own experiences allow me to step into a path of exploration and to seek a different experience of life. After many years of self-discovery with a coach, I found a body orientated way of relaxing my body by releasing old trauma. “When it comes to creating our lives, it is what the body believes to be true that matters.” These practices dramatically shifted my life as I started to feel more embodied, present and loving. 

Attuned Coaching simply put, is me showing up fully grounded and connected and inviting you along on the dance of growth and freedom. I encourage mindful awareness, movement, heart connection, meditation in nature, and breath awareness for health and wellbeing.

Today I am a creator of beautiful outdoor spaces for my daily mediation/breathing practice. I grow and forage native plants, veggies and herbs. My empathetic connection with both people and plants is integral to the Attuned Coaching model, which draws on connection with ourselves, others, and the natural world around us.
