You and I have something in common: desire

You found my website because of your desire – to get something you don’t have and want, or to get rid of something you do have and don’t want. I created this coaching practice out of my desire to give a fresh expression to my years of experience working with people who are seeking more meaning, deeper purpose, and better functioning. When we have clarity about our purpose (when we, as Simon Sinek says, “know our why”) and have strategies for how to live up to our own potential, we become:

• Purposeful

• Confident

• Connected

• Resilient

• Fulfilled

• Alive

This is what Life wants for each of us!

Desire is a tricky thing. It is a key part of our humanity, but we’re very often not clear about our desires because most of us aren’t taught how to honour and tend to our inner self. We live in a culture that mostly thinks about desire as sexual or material. It’s that … and so much more! Each person’s longing is different, but there are some common themes: love, belonging, meaning …

In 2019, after more than two decades in congregational ministry, I burned out. Burnout is the result of not paying attention to what our soul is trying to tell us about our deep purpose, our “why.” It’s a high price to pay for not listening.

Transformation is a key word to describe the work to which I have been called. During a vision quest a few years ago, a lizard came and spent a couple of days in my circle with me. Researching it after, I learned that lizards and other animals that shed their skin are totems of change and transformation.

My approach will help you bring your whole self – your head, your heart, and your body – to create the change you seek. Together we create the time and space in which you can do whatever you need to do — explore, clarify, strategize, act — to live more fully the life you want for yourself, and get from where you are to where you want to be.

I encourage you to book a free, 30-minute consultation with me if you:

• Long for a safe space in which you can explore some aspect of your life, in the company of a trustworthy guide.

• Desire greater meaning, deeper purpose, and more solid ground on which to stand as you engage with the world.

• Find yourself burned out, feel like you’re going through the motions, don’t like the direction in which your life is going, or are bothered by the gap between what you say and what you do.

• Are ready at last to take the journey to the simplicity on the other side of the complexity of life (it exists, I promise you!), and to activate your potential to bring your unique contribution toward a better world.
