About Me

At the age of 13 I suffered a life altering spinal cord injury which left me a C3-4 quadriplegic. Life has had many challenges and obstacles which of all positioned me to help other individuals overcome and achieve once thought elusive goals. In those challenges I have found a rugged determination to never quit or be limited by societal or self thought limitations. A wise lady, my mother, once articulated to me that the only obstacles in this life I could not overcome would be the ones I allowed to stop me. Immediately upon meeting me you will be ushered into an environment full of empathy and absent of judgment. In many ways I will be your greatest cheerleader, but not afraid to challenge, hold accountable, and motivate when necessary. Together we can achieve the life you have always wanted for yourself.

Coaching with me

How I like to coach

A laid back, easy going experience with a warm environment of empathy. The ability to hold a client accountable and motivate when necessary. Of the feeling that intrinsic motivation always supersedes the extrinsic type. You possess the motivation and I join alongside you, and together we propel you forward to meeting all your goals.

Fee description

This is a client by client sliding scale fee depending on your household income. I strive to make services available to anyone who needs coaching or consultation. There is currently limited availability for pro bono sessions.

$10.00 = the intake assessment or consultation phase to discuss all the things that are concerning to the client, and in unison develop an action plan for success going forward.

$15.00 - $100 = after the initial assessment the coaching sessions begin, each lasting approximately 45 to 55 minutes in length, all sessions must be paid for prior to the appointment time in adherence to the rules dictated herein.

My goal is to make sure that no one is excluded from coaching services because of income. This is all the more important in these uncertain times with the COVID-19 pandemic.
