My Story

I have the life that I always longed for.  I have a very close connected relationship with my daughters.  I am in a relationship with a confident wonderful man who is my biggest supporter and trusted life partner who accepts, respects, and cherishes every part of me. I have had great success in a 25-year career in academia as a neuro and obstetrical anesthesiologist.  I was a professor and accomplished every career milestone and goal I set for myself.  I left the world of academic medicine on my terms and transitioned into private practice anesthesiology to have time to pursue my true passion as a life, leadership, women centered, and trauma informed coach where I have guided hundreds of high achieving professional women through remarkable life changing transformations.  I have a rich life of feeling all the feelings and experiencing true joy and fulfillment in my personal and professional life in ways I could never have imagined possible.  I awaken every day looking forward to experiencing life with gratitude, connection, authenticity, presence, excitement, and purpose in every area of my life.

I began a process of looking into what it would take to address this numbness in my life.  I spent years swimming in this problem and investing in all different kinds of solutions to try to address this numbness including trauma therapy and coaching. I made great strides and no longer suffered with anxiety.  But I knew there was something else that was still keeping me from true joy and fulfillment.  What finally cracked the code for me was addressing the inner barriers that were holding me back.  The inner barriers outlined by Dr. Claire Zammit. 

When I was able to break through the inner barriers through Women Centered Coaching, I began to feel again. I felt alive again.  I started to reconnect with who I was and my true purpose for being on this planet.  I began having real energy and excitement for the first time in years.  What that resulted in was I started to really get momentum in my career, excelling in all areas of my career as an anesthesiologist and leader.  Inside of having more feelings in my life many other things started to change.  I began showing up as a different person.  I started to enjoy life again.  I was having fun and true connection and presence with my daughters and new friends.

I help high achieving women in midlife recover from the anesthesia of life, to bring them back to life, to feel and to see and experience, and to most importantly discover your mission.  You can’t do this when you are numb, and so until you address the numbness in your life, you are never going to be able to experience the fullness of your mission and the impact of what you are here to do.

 

If you are someone who is disconnected and lost the joy in your work, or in your family, or in your marriage, you are likely suffering from being numb, and the great news is, just like me, when you follow this proven process that I have created to remove the anesthesia from your life, you will quickly begin living again, and more importantly, you will be on mission, on purpose, in every area of your life and you will never look back.  You will be unapologetically you! Because life is beautiful when you can feel it again, and I would love to support you to get there.
