About me
My intention is to live fully and without regret. Having spent much of my career in health care I’ve witnessed people’s lives change in a flash. And having dealt with my own fair share of loss I deeply believe that life is a precious gift to be savored.

I recognize people's strengths with ease, despite their own self-limiting beliefs. When I support them to access that power, they get very clear about who they are meant to be. The outcome is they do more of what they are meant to do in this lifetime.

I enjoy challenging myself to go to my next learning edge, and bringing my absolute best to my work! I am happiest when in deep connection with others, celebrating life and appreciating simple pleasures. I am enriched by connecting with people of various ethnic backgrounds and love music and dance.

My husband and I parent 2 very different and wonderful teenage boys, Ben and Aaron (and our dog, Shayna).

I love coaching. I maintain a reasonable balance between work and leisure and am always on the lookout for any opportunity to play and laugh!

What I’ve done
I have built my coaching practice upon a solid foundation of working with people for 25 years as a group facilitator, consultant, trainer, manager, and therapist.

As a Master’s Level Occupational Therapist I’ve rehabilitated hundreds of people with moderate to severe disability, managed a large multidisciplinary team in a world class hospital and supervised students and therapists, designed and ran therapeutic and educational groups and taught at several universities.

As President of Workright, a consulting and training practice devoted to helping companies maintain a healthy, productive workforce, I have trained thousands of business managers, supervisors and individual contributors in injury prevention, ergonomics and wellness. The State of Massachusetts awarded Workright numerous competitive training grants and Workright earned preferred vendor status.

Trained by the highly acclaimed Coaches Training Institute I am certified as a professional co-active coach. Now I empower others to live their strengths every day – through one-to-one coaching, groups and experiential workshops.
