My Why

How I Became a Change Agent

When you know what your are commited to, the rest falls into place. I couldn't shake the feeling that my work was expanding beyond its current modality. Having spent nearly two decades as a touch therapist, it was becoming increasingly clear to me that healing must occur not just for the physical body, but for the mental/emotional and spiritual bodies as well. I wanted a way to serve both people and planet, to leave the world better than I found it, not simply as a way of life but as my livelihood. 

Although I had been trained as a Professional Coach, for years I only casually used that skillset. Something was stopping me from fully committing myself to the coaching profession. One day, (with the help of my coach!) I realized that since my life was pretty good, I didn't feel it was reasonable to want more. I wasn’t giving myself permission to really shoot for the stars. 

It was then that I decided I was allowed to chase my crazy big dreams and love every moment of my life and work. I decided I was allowed to pursue better than "pretty good". I gave myself permission to bring my entire self to the table and truly love what I do every single day.  And I love coaching! 

I love helping people shed the beliefs and habits that hold them back from living a life they can love every moment of.  I love watching them light up when they re-connect with a deep inner knowing that is uniquely theirs. I love seeing relationships and communities transform in response to the changes made in just one person.

I also love learning everything I can about the science of how, when, and why we transform. In the same way that sore muscles respond predictably to certain inputs of stimuli, I knew there must be inputs to our mental and emotional structures that result in predictable outcomes as well. Thus Coach Your Core was born.

​

Our core is a physical place in our bodies. It has a location in our mentality as well with core beliefs and core values. Our emotions are also part of our core; their chemical signature is ever-present inside of us. When we truly "Coach our Core" we strengthen our stability, our mobility, and our creativity in all aspects of life. This creates an effortless ripple effect that is felt in our families, our communities, and the world at large. 

The world needs more people who are willing to be their own leaders first, committing to live by example and follow their own unique purpose. My own calling has been a challenge at times, but I get to follow my calling. And I get to help others do the same. I truly believe that every human being deserves to find what lights them up inside, because in doing so we make the world more livable for all.
