Since choosing a life coach is such a personal decision, I thought I might
tell you a bit about myself while you are here.

WHERE I AM NOW

I am a certified Life Balance Coach and CEO for Insight Out Life Coaching. As a Life Balance
Coach, I combine my natural curiosity and compassion with my expertise and knowledge to empower
people to live more balanced, less stressful lives. I enjoy speaking nationally, live and for the media,
on the subjects of life balance and stress management.  My approach incorporates one-on-one
coaching, workshops and presentations, as well as designing and implementing corporate wellness
programs.

My clients include Clif Bar, Wells Fargo, Facebook, Rotary International and Spring Board Forward, a frequent winner of Fast Company’s Social Capitalist Award.

I am also author of Insights, an international monthly publication on Life Balance. (Feel free to sign up right over here ====>)

Prior to becoming a Life Balance Coach, I performed as Director of Operations for non-profit and for profit companies where I had the great fortune to travel internationally to present workshops and provide trainings.

I have worked and studied on five continents and have traveled throughout thirty-five countries.  Much of my understanding of people and the life balance choices they make has been informed by my diverse traveling experiences. 

I have earned a BA in Sociology from Tulane University and University College Dublin, Ireland, an MA in Education from San Francisco State University and Massey University, New Zealand and a Professional Coaching Certification through the International Coaching Federation accredited program at New Ventures West.

HOW I GOT HERE

I'm a life-long explorer of my inner and outer worlds.

I have learned countless things along the way but here are just a few highlights
I'd like to share.

• As a certified integral life coach, with a Professional Coaching Certification in Integral Coaching through the International Coaching Federation, I have learned that once people stop feeling overwhelmed they dramatically increase their capacity to create a more fulfilling balanced life.
  
  
   
• As a Director of Operations in an international business, I learned that the greatest way for my staff to grow in themselves was to give them the space, support and guidance to release their own potential.
  
  
• As a student, with a BA in Sociology and an MA in Education, I have learned that expanding my knowledge is a life-long adventure.
  
• As a volunteer life coach for Girls on the Run, a program that instills self-esteem and strong values through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training, I have learned how much there is to learn from the children of the world.
  
  
• As a world traveler who has visited over 35 countries, I have learned that listening to yourself is the only true way not to get lost.
  
  
• As a practiced expatriate, who has worked and studied abroad, on five different continents, I learned how to expand my comfort zones, ground myself in unfamiliar lands and always expect the unexpected.
  
  
• As a vipassana meditation practitioner, I have learned the transforming effects of meditation on my daily life.
  
  
• As a Zhineng qigong and Tae Bo practitioner, I have learned the power of intention on healing and the inner strength that can come through outward movement.
  
  
• As a voracious reader currently writing my first book, I have learned that the only stories worth telling, or the lives worth living, are the authentic ones.
  
  
• As an integrated whole person, I have learned that my family and friends are my lifeblood- without them my soul would have less reason to smile.
