Certified YOGABODY Yoga Breath Coach®

I am, at heart, a storyteller — but my passion centers around helping others uncover their own stories. As a transformational health & well-being coach, I guide individuals, groups, and teams through change with clarity, compassion, and purpose. Through Beyond Balance LLC, I bring together decades of experience in mindfulness, leadership, and creative practice to help people cultivate resilience and well-being in every chapter of their lives.

As an author and writer, I explore the intersections of reflection, creativity, and transformation. My novel, Home Sweet Sonoma, weaves together stories of personal growth and renewal — a celebration of the transformative moments that shape who we become. Writing remains both a practice of presence and a way to connect deeply with others through shared experience.

My work begins with curiosity — a desire to witness the subtle beauty in everyday moments. Photography has always been my way of understanding the world. What began as a practice of observation has become a way of being present. Through the lens, I’m drawn to moments of quiet connection and honest light — glimpses of stillness, humor, and humanity that make each story unique. My images explore the relationship between presence and perception, inviting a slower way of seeing and a deeper way of being.

Across all these forms — coaching, writing, and photography — my purpose is the same: to help others see more clearly, live more fully, and rediscover the light that’s been within them all along.

I want you to love your life and delight in the eternal stories it tells.

I look forward to hearing from you.
