The word Solstice means “sun stands still” and at this time we find ourselves in middle of the deepest darkness and the return of the light. On Friday we will experience the longest night, which also brings the return of the sun and longer days! This is a time to reflect, to grieve, to let go all [...]
Dear clients and friends, I want to introduce you to my colleague Megan Liebmann and her individual and group healing offerings at Amethyst and Rose. I love supporting other practitioners who, like me, take a whole-person and community-minded approach to their work. In this time of the Great Turning, we must see health through a wider lens that includes all beings and the [...]
Its the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, Summer Solstice! This is a time of celebrating the growth of all that you dreamed in the dark of winter and planted in the spring. One way to remember this important natural cycle is to notice how the plants, trees and wildlife have changed since winter. [...]
Happy first day of Spring! The energy of blooming trees and warmer weather can be invigorating, calling us into action. It is time to plant seeds, both literally and intentionally. Look back over the deep rest of winter and be curious-- what did you learn? How do you need and want to grow now? Winter Solstice and [...]
I just finished reading the wise bell hooks and her elegant take on love in "all about love, new visions." As the month of February brings into contact with themes of love, romance, and intimacy (not because of Hallmark and Valentines but because of astrology), I want to recommend you read this important book! Here are a [...]
In yoga class today (my favorite embodiment practice), the teacher told a simple but important story. She was hiking in the woods with her young daughter and they came upon an ancient tree into which someone had cleverly built a magical fairy house. The mom was in a rush to finish the hike and make it to [...]
Have you heard the teaching tale of the of the two frogs who fell in the butter churn? One gave up, seeing no reason to fight, sank to the bottom and drowned. The other kicked and swam with all its might despite any obvious reasons to do so and the kicking motions turned the cream to butter, creating [...]
When I get a new life or career coaching client who's primary goal is time management, a big red flag immediately begins to wave for me. You see, I sit with people all day who are struggling with the pace and demands of modern life and I've begin to doubt that this is a personal issue that [...]
Most life and career coaching clients come to work with me focused on life purpose and self development. We all have unique, individual journeys that call us to look deeply within for wisdom, healing and the answer to the important question-- Who am I really? The more clear about who you are, the more you are able to find a [...]
Most life and career coaching clients come to me because they want to solve a problem. They are willing to pay for expert support because they have tried everything on their own: read all the books, talked to friends and family, analyzed and over analyzed, consulted psychics/astrologers, prayed a lot, taken online tests...you get the picture. Maybe [...]
As a life coach for women, the month of January always brings the conversation of New Years Intentions. I prefer the word intention to resolution for a few reasons: Intentions are more flexible and adaptable. Resolutions carry the pressure of performance and obligation. And, our culture is just too fixated on the usual suspects when it comes [...]
Despite the busy drive of the holiday season, this winter dark is a time for rest and reflection. While humans hustle about, nature and her creatures curl up and let go of unnecessary work. And when we resist our primal instinct to slow down, we create stress and disconnection for ourselves. I encourage us all to find some [...]
I have learned a secret about achieving goals in my ten years of being a life and career coach. Before you can determine what your goal is or how to manifest it, you better understand who inside you actually wants to achieve it. We all have many selves inside. You know what I mean. One part of you [...]
If you are a woman who has a hard time saying no, you often feel overcommitted or overwhelmed and have lost track of your own needs, please read this blog post! If you are so blessed to have none of those issues, please skip the blog post but leave your advice in the comments! Recently one of my life coaching clients started [...]
I work with many busy, overwhelmed women. They are juggling parenting, creative ventures, business ideas, careers, relationships, community involvement and their own self care, or lack of... And they feel spread too thin or like they can't do anything fully. In our life and career coaching sessions, we focus on identifying priorities. The idea that you can do [...]
