AUTHOR | STORYTELLER | SPEAKER

A cross between Dr. Dolittle, Nanny McPhee, and a type-A Buddhist, I'm an active listener, observer of details, payer of attention, reader and writer of books, kindness enthusiast, and an unabashed optimist.

​

I'm a former holistic health practitioner and transformational life coach. My doctorate is in holistic health with an emphasis in energy medicine.

My first book, Note to Self: A Seven-Step Path to Gratitude and Growth, closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be. 

My second book, The Business of Being: Soul Purpose in and Out of the Workplace, shows you how to thrive, soul-side out, in and out of the workplace. 

My third book, Indelible, launches Creative Quill—a suspense/thriller series that takes place in the Pacific Northwest. A ticking time-bomb of simmering tension, this series keeps the space between the pages and the reader emotionally taut. Indelible is slated to hit the shelves soon.

​

I live in the Pacific Northwest with my pilot-husband, Len, and our Irish Wolfhound, Willa. I enjoy yoga, long walks, bicycling, and photography. I love laughter, reading, and travel.
