Awakening through Parenting & Caregiving

Caring for a loved one with great needs is one of the most challenging paths a person can walk. It pushes us, sometimes relentlessly, to the crossroads of fierce love, profound heartache, and personal overwhelm.

For more than thirty years, I have walked this path. It has broken me open, again and again, revealing a vast wisdom that awakens me to the preciousness of life itself—calling me to open my heart wider and wider, until nothing is left out.

It is through this capacity of the heart that we learn life’s deepest lessons. Lessons of surrender, acceptance, and compassion, to name a few.

As a writer and keynote speaker, I share my personal and spiritual evolution stories through these life lessons. As a life coach and spiritual guide, I equip others with the skills needed to navigate the awakening journey and to live a more peaceful, balanced life—one that is graced with the innate strength and joy of the heart.

I live near the foothills of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, with my adult son, David, who is diagnosed with autism and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). LGS is a rare epilepsy disorder resulting in uncontrolled seizures, neurological impairment, and lifelong disability.

The challenges of raising David and two other sons pushed me onto a path of existential inquiry and spiritual seeking. I have devotedly followed that path for more than two decades, soaking up the teachings of saints and sages, and have come to know their truth. As life continues to present its challenges, I am able to meet them with more peace, more joy, and freedom from within.

Since 2005, I’ve been a student of nonduality spiritual teachings and have had extensive trainings in various coaching, somatic, meditative, and mindfulness practices and modalities for personal growth and healing. In 2018, I became a certified life coach through Integral Coaching Canada. It is one of my greatest joys and honors to assist another in opening their hearts and minds to a freer, lighter, and happier way of living.

I am also a writer, published author, and speaker, delivering keynote speeches on my son's disorder and the growth he has inspired in me.
