Let's get acquainted

I live to serve. 

My greatest desire in life is to help other people and I am here to help you.

I am a wife (married to Scott for 25 years this September)

I am a mother (Randy - 22, Thaniel - 20, and Olivia - 15; one adorable doodle too)

I am a business owner

I am an advocate for parents and families

I am a coach and consultant

I am a solution-oriented person

I am a catalyst for change/positive growth 

A little more about me:

At 14 years old (when I thought I knew everything) my wise father gave me a book to read which shaped my life, giving me a sense of purpose and desire to serve/teach. That book was Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” He was probably trying to tell me something, but I was too proud to ask.

From the time I turned 18, I was involved as a leader in youth camps, teaching, and empowering youth from across the globe. I taught middle and high school English and religious education. And, I coached competitive high school cheerleading in both Iowa and Massachusetts. 

I have over 20 years of experience involved in small businesses and non-profit organizations helping create and execute plans for growth. For the last six years, I have coached friends, family, and small business owners in personal and organizational growth. I have mentored mothers of adopted children struggling with emotional overwhelm to find more peace in their homes and in their lives.

My heart has been calling me to focus on strengthening families.

So, here I am.

I am your parenting coach.

I am here to help you navigate the rough terrain of the teen years.
