My journey
I have worked in the field of education for almost 20 years in a variety of countries, such as Spain, El Salvador, and Thailand. And in the last 10 years, I have focused on supporting others in their personal and professional development through coaching, training, consulting, and mindfulness mentoring.
I first discovered coaching and mindfulness in a moment of personal and professional crisis. Burned-out from my school director job and in the midst of a painful relationship ending, my ailing body and mind were screaming for change.
Now that I am over 10 years into my own change journey, I am a better coach, leader, partner, sister, and friend because of the steps that I have taken to prioritize my personal well-being. In this process, I developed skills in embodiment and emotional intelligence, both of which I found to be key factors in creating and maintaining sustainable change.
It is my belief and experience that healthy, whole, resilient individuals are better able to be leaders in their personal and professional lives.
As a coach, trainer, and teacher, it is my passion, joy, and calling to serve and support others in their own life processes of growth and change.
