Transformational Coaching, Yoga and Partner Yoga
Throughout my thirty-five years as a teacher, I have always been aware of the transformative power of deep listening.
When we listen, or are listened to, from a depth of presence, our natural, innate wisdom is called forth. We gain access to a deeper knowing that is always available even when we feel disconnected from it.
The coaching I offer is based on the following fundamental principles that underly our human experience:
- We were all born with innate well-being and equal access to the wisdom within us.
- We remain at our essence whole and undamaged, with unlimited creative resources, regardless of our current or past life experience. Our human journey is one of remembrance of this unlimited Nature, who we are beyond our human conditioning.
- We are feeling beings and it is through embracing our feeling nature that we become more fully human, in a way that integrates our human and spiritual natures.
- We live in thought / feeling created realities. As we become more present and embodied, we resist less and open more to the miraculous nature of life. Our minds naturally become quieter as we begin to sense who we are beyond our thoughts and feelings.
- With practice, we learn to provide for ourselves the sense of unconditional love, safely, validation and guidance we have sought from others.
It is a beautiful thing to know that each of us at times needs support to access the wisdom within, the part of us that knows everything we need to know in order to live joyful and fulfilling lives.
It is my pleasure and honor to listen deeply, in a way that supports you in accessing your own innate wisdom and well-being. Bringing our peaceful presence and creative gifts forward is the greatest service we can offer our world.

I see the body as the mirror of the Soul and our greatest ally in experiencing a fulfilling life.
Our body it is always guiding us toward well-being. Even when we are experiencing discomfort, physical or emotional, the body is simply asking us to slow down enough to listen to the wisdom it has to share.
My experience with virtual support is that it offers energetic connection that enables us to dive deep into ourselves. Virtual connection will never replace real physical touch and presence but it offers a way to connect and receive that can be a profound support.
For those living in or visiting the Santa Barbara, CA area, I am available for private, in-person sessions.
