I have trained
through Coach U.,
an international  
training institute.  
I am a mother and
wife; I have
experienced
breast cancer
 and the loss of
two parents.  I
have two
daughters on the
cusp of
adolescence and I
get up each day
knowing that this
thing called life is
tough-- but I am
grateful to be
here.  I bet
sometimes you
feel the same way.
With communication at the core of my professional work, I bring a
variety of experiences to my coaching clients. Early in my career I
developed a ground breaking early language intervention program for
two-year-old deaf children and their families at the Pennsylvania School
for the Deaf. I later worked in corporate advertising and public
relations, managing clients such as MetLife, Helmsley-Greenfield and
Mellon Bank.  I refined my niche as a freelance communications
consultant for nonprofit organizations, coordinating Philadelphia’s Earth
Day 1990 festival, Bryn Mawr Rehab Center’s Art Ability exhibit of
disabled artists and the Devorah Bartnoff Conference on Judaism and
Emotional Health for Philadelphia’s JFCS.  I was also executive director
of a local environmental organization and more recently, project
manager for the establishment of a Healing Center in Philadelphia.  I
continue to be proud of my work with the public affairs department at
the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.

I have experienced many parts of myself in much of the work I have
done.  My career path has not been straightforward.  I have risked and
dared and have continued to find satisfaction in the exploration.  I am
now exceedingly excited to be working as a life coach!

What does this all mean for you, my client?  

My wish for you is that you listen to the procrastinated
whispers in your heart and see where they lead.
