My Work Now

My work begins with questions I am living myself.

How do I give and receive? Where do I seek approval? What do I want to do with my time, energy, and money? What helps me live with greater honesty and peace?

These questions led me to create Money & Relationships: six weekly storytelling and deep listening gatherings for women, followed by one follow-up gathering.

As I prepared the circles, I found myself working through the questions too. Stories from my own life brought me face to face with regret, generosity, responsibility, and forgiveness. Creating the material became part of my own living inquiry.

It has also brought me to a quieter question: can I enjoy the life I have, without continually searching for something else to resolve?

What I Offer

I facilitate circles where women can pause, tell their stories, and listen deeply—to themselves and to one another.

I hold the structure, make room for each voice, and offer questions and reflection prompts. Each woman decides what her experience means and what she wishes to do next.

We explore how money moves through our relationships: the ease or discomfort of receiving, the expectations attached to giving, and the ways love, obligation, independence, and belonging become intertwined.

The six gatherings offer time to notice patterns and explore different choices. The follow-up gives us a chance to return and share what has happened as we bring those choices into everyday life.

My Background and Approach

My background includes business and design, followed by more than two decades of coaching, mentoring, and healing practices. I am also the author of A Listening Grandmother — Across Faultlines, Bloodlines & Starlines.

Through these experiences, I have come to value the space that opens when someone feels heard and has time to hear herself.

I bring my experience, curiosity, and willingness to keep learning. My own practices include contemplation, journalling, and listening to my body. They help me notice how I am living the questions I bring to the circles.

Today, I want to make room for greater peace, meaningful connection, and the enjoyment of ordinary life. That intention is at the heart of the spaces I hold.

Ask Questions. Stay Curious.
