Ten years ago I would have told you there was zero chance I’d ever be doing anything as cheesy sounding as “life-coaching”. And yet, I must admit, another part of me always knew that many of the times I felt most alive involved helping people connect with who they really are and what they really want.
The funny thing is, as much as my former self would have rolled her eyes at the title of “life coach”, I’m actually way happier than she ever was.
Of course, when I use the word happy, I certainly don’t mean it in a “pasted-on-smiley-face-never-have-any-difficulties” way, but rather, an authentic joyfulness that stems from understanding the relationship between my thoughts, emotions, actions, and circumstances.
While I absolutely incorporate the law of attraction into my coaching, I am not a person who advocates trying to think positively all the time. In fact, I’ve noticed many people who “try” to think positively often have a lot of anxiety. As Abraham-Hicks says, what good does it do to paste a smiley face on your empty gas gauge? Both the gauge and your emotions are a precious gift with vital information; ignoring either is nuts.
What I’m interested in is helping you uncover what you really want and then taking the steps to get there.

A few other things about me:
1.My degree is in English Literature.
2. This absolutely does not mean you should expect perfect grammar on this site.
3. See? Doesn’t #2 contain a faulty pronoun reference or something like that? Exactly my point.
4. My boyfriend of ten years (yeah, we’re not the most traditional people) is not into law of attraction or anything he considers woo-woo. He’s also one of the wisest people I’ve ever known.
5. I really admire people who can be hilarious without being mean. I think Ellen Degeneres is a master at this.
6. Also, 30 Rock. LOVE it.
7. Moving right into music, I’m a really big U2 fan.
8. I love yoga and hope to soon edit this to say I practice it EVERY day.

So, what do I mean by “Your Happiest Self” ?
Your Happiest Self is who you are in the moments you feel most alive– moments of love, connection, meaning, purpose, and genuine laughter. It’s who you really are, beneath layers of conditioning made of thoughts–many of which may not be serving you.
Living from the space of Your Happiest Self is not a static goal that you achieve, rather, it’s a moment by moment, thought by thought process of uncovering and maintaining the connection with your deeper self.
Ultimately, the only thing that can stand in the way of you living your most authentically happy life is believing thoughts that don’t serve you. Because if your thoughts are not serving you, they’re most certainly blocking you from who you’re truly meant to be.
Shifting into living from Your Happiest Self may require massive changes in your life, or it may require no surface changes at all. The only certainty is that you will have to take control of the only thing you’ve ever had any real control over anyway–the direction of your thoughts.
That’s what this site and my coaching are all about.
