I love coaching women, but I've always had a vision where I was sitting on a park bench and someone comes by, sits down, we talk, and in some small way, I help her to fall a little bit more in love with herself, inspire her to live more true to herself, give her permission to show up a little more fully. What this touched on for me is my desire to help, my commitment to each of us loving ourselves and being more authentic...and my naturally generous way of being. I also want everyone to have access to support, not just those with abundant financial resources.
And this is why I decided to create The Self-Love Journey. This is a paid membership group ($43/month or $443 pre-paid for the year). In the Self-Love Sanctuary, I hope to help you fall a little bit more in love with yourself whenever you enter the space. Not in a false "cheerleading" kind of a way. But in the genuine, radically accepting, deep kind of a way. The kind that sticks. Where your life improves because of it. People say that we should love ourselves, but most people don't know how to do this. None of us have been taught how to love ourselves - in fact, we've been taught the opposite. But self-love IS gettable. And that's what I do with women. I help you to learn to love yourself and as a result, get the life you always imagined you'd have. A better life. A more connected, harmonious and fulfilling life. Membership Groups Are More Ad Hoc, Less Program
If you want to go through some sort of "program" where I walk you through the specific steps to get from here to there, this may not be the right fit for you. This is more like a journey where I guide you to be more you, to be more self-directed, to know what you want and need, to stand in your worth, to heal and grow, to awaken to all of who you are and love yourself.
Each day, I'll be tuning into what the group needs. My goal is to point you back to yourself - for you to trust yourself, know that you have everything you need inside of you. I do need to teach you another way of doing life, another way to BE, but you are your expert. So I'm a detective, watching for entry points and trailheads to guide you to the bits of information that will tell us more about you, to discover exiled and abandon aspects, to connect the dots and bring together the pieces into a whole picture - the picture of YOU! At the end of the day I hope you walk way feeling like you matter, you are enough, you are important and worthy and lovable. That you can trust yourself and it's safe to be you in this world. I hope you feel more courageous, confident, grounded, effective and empowered.
You can have the life you want, as long as you're willing to love yourself there.

Why this work is worth doing (besides changing your life)
HOW IT WILL BENEFIT YOUR FAMILY & COMMUNITY
The more we heal ourselves – our trauma, childhood wounding and relational ruptures – the more capacity we have for compassion and care of others. Often, we can be a very compassionate person on the outside but inside we feel resentful and angry. Our fears and our worries can hold us back from being our true selves – being vulnerable and authentic can be scary. It’s only when we do our inner work and have the support of others on their path too that we can begin to feel psychologically safe enough to know who we are and to reveal that to the world. True compassion and care for others and the world emerge from a deep well of self-love, self-compassion and self-care.
The more we love ourselves, the more we have the capacity to love others without expecting anything in return. Additionally, as we heal and regulate our nervous systems, we cultivate sustainable inner peace. This means that our children and others around us benefit from co-regulating to our calmer nervous system. We will become a more patient, enjoyable and fun person when we do this work.

HOW IT WILL BENEFIT THE WORLD
These are times where we're called to try to make a difference. We really feel like we should be doing something. What if healing, regulating our nervous systems, learning to love ourselves and bringing our most authentic selves to the world is the most courageous act of activism you could do? What if aligning to our true nature and living on our unique life path is radical activism?
It’s hard to know what the right path forward could be these days. Often we hear people’s solutions to global problems and we aren’t quite sure we’re on board with that solution fully but we don’t know what would be better. There is a way that becoming more confused and unsure is a really good first step toward being a free thinker, toward realizing that your voice is needed as we discuss these world problems we face. Not necessarily publicly, but at least internally or in your close relationships. When we start to express through journaling and in conversation, we begin to see who we really are, what we really think and how we look at the world. It’s so easy to be passive consumers of other people’s thinking – to outsource it to journalists and educators and leaders. But we need to reclaim that power. And remember we would not be here if our voice and our being here didn’t matter. You DO matter. And it’s time to claim your place in this world and to share your voice, thoughts, gifts, opinions, perspectives and ideas. Without you, the Universe is incomplete and the planet is out of balance.
I believe that each one of us is a critically important piece of the puzzle of life and it’s our responsibility to own that and to live to our potential. And when we do, the possibilities are limitless. Solving our world's problems requires each of us to bring our unique perspective forward.
Additionally, who we are and how we show up in the world matters. The ripple effect of our self-love will impact others. Our capacity to love is expanded which means that we feel love for others, those we don't know, those we previously would have disliked. We cultivate greater love for nature and for our planet.
When we love ourselves, we can't help but love everyone. And love life itself.
The Universe is begging each of us to live this way so we can come back to harmony.

A SAMPLING OF CLIENT LOVE
We all have issues we are trying to work on, whether it is everyday relationships, childhood trauma, or family issues. I have done a lot of therapy over the years and I always find myself saying “Why can’t someone just give me the tools I need to be happier and more peaceful?” I was tired of going over the issues.
We know our issues, but how do we move past them and find happiness? Deb was my answer and I could never be more grateful to another person. She has helped teach me how to save me from myself. If I can’t love me how can someone else?
Deb has shown me the path to self-love and healing. My life changed when my best friend introduced us. Change is not easy and nothing happens overnight but when you actually feel like you are a part of life happening, being in the moment, and learning to accept love not only from others but from yourself, you realize it’s all worth it.
I have good days and bad days but the good out weigh the bad and the bad isn’t all that bad anymore. I have never been happier in my life than I am now. If you’re thinking about working with Deb, I highly recommend it!

My connection with Deb was instant and deep – she has a true gift for seeing people and reflecting back in a supportive and actionable way. She is the best friend you never knew you had. I was inspired to work with Deb because she has done her own work and she has all of the tools to help you get closer to yourself. I am more of myself thanks to Deb. She taught me how to see and listen to myself with love. I have less fear about the future, less anger about the past, and one more dear friend.

Have you ever had one of those moments where the exact right person entered your life at the exactly perfect time? That’s how I felt when I met Deb. When we met I was at the tail of a high conflict divorce with two children under the age of 4 and 3 part-time jobs. While I was starting to feel grounded in some areas of my life I was still spinning with overwhelm and lack of clarity on how to proceed, how to move forward with getting my life back and juggling what seemed like a Herculean list of responsibilities.
Deb helped me map out (literally) everything I hold responsibility for in my life and create a road map of baby steps to get myself grounded, rooted, and authentically living a life more in tune with myself. She has a keen ability to truly listen and tease out key insights that accurately characterized my strengths and my areas for growth. Speaking of growth, I also really appreciated when she called me out (in a very kind and gentle way) when I said I thought I was pretty good at flowing through my life (when clearly I have plenty of areas of being stuck and stagnant).
Deb’s approach to parenting also really helped me with some challenging situations. She has such a wealth of wisdom in this arena as well as fabulous books to recommend on the subject of conscious parenting. She led me to the profound realization that parenting really isn’t about parenting my children, it is about parenting myself.
Above all, Deb lit a fire of determination in me to speak stronger, louder and more inviting truths. She helped me stretch my operational range of emotions and create tangible paths out of murky and muddy waters.
Deb is a bright light in a sometimes, very dark and stressful world. Her gift of helping women see their strengths, stretch themselves to grow, and be their authentic selves is perhaps one of the greatest gifts that anyone can receive. I could not recommend working with this power house mama more strongly if you want to do some gritty and gratifying self-work that I’m certain will help you lead a more fulfilling life.

Deb’s life coaching has drastically transformed the quality of my life. I’ve explored with Deb the emotional obstacles standing in my way, and together within a safe and loving environment, we’ve dealt with them and removed them. I now feel I’m living a life that is rich, joyous, peaceful, and exactly how I want it to be – it’s not perfect, but learning to manage life’s daily challenges without turning upside down has brought me so much inner confidence and a feeling of being in control of my life.
I’ve learned the power of daily gratitudes, affirmations and tuning into my spiritual side – these have proven to be powerful tools not only in maintaining daily emotional health but also finding my sense of purpose and meaning in life.
Deb has taught me how to open myself up to others in a safe and healthy way, leading me to fulfillment in my relationships with friends and family, instead of frustration. Deb will meet you where you are, explore the fears, doubts and concerns that prevent you from experiencing life’s joy, and offer wise guidance on how to live the life you’re meant to.”

Deb’s “Authentic Connection Circle” has changed my life. I am a busy mom of three kids. I felt disconnected, overwhelmed and anxious when I came to Deb’s circle. Deb has given me a warm, calm, and safe environment to address my stress. I am now working with Deb, and I feel lighter, inspired and most importantly on my way to the happy person I was before three kids.
Deb has given me specific guidance and direction towards a more fulfilled soul. I don’t feel stuck in mud anymore. I am moving forward and I feel great. Deb is the kindest person and I feel very supported. I highly recommend Deb to all moms, as Deb has a huge heart and a true gift to heal anyone that seeks her guidance!

Before working with Deb, I had the sense that everything in my life was increasingly out-of-focus. Eating? Generally good but sometimes really, really bad. Drinking? No comment. Exercise? Ummmm, does carting around a giant toddler count?
I felt like I was going in 900 directions every minute of every day. Exhausted and overwhelmed, I was at the end of my rope. I knew something had to change, something outside the supposed normal realm of medicine or psychiatry or nutrition. I wanted to get someone on my team, someone who had no agenda other than helping me figure out what was going on. I was tired of putting everything to do with me on the back burner. It was time to become the best person I could be.
Enter Deb.
With her kind spirit, incredible knowledge and clear vision, she helps me put together the puzzle that is me. She stretches me in directions I have never stretched before, knocking down barriers and forging new paths. She helps me see things clearly, gives me just enough information to turn everything I thought I knew on it’s head (in a positive way!) and supports me as I figure out how to make it all work. And that’s the best part of the whole process: it works.
My old out-of-focus life that was spinning out of control is firmly in the past. Deb has helped me see how interconnected everything is on a much deeper level than I ever thought possible. The result is that everything has become seamless. Eating? Fabulous. Lots of greens, lots of healthy fats, lots of smiles at the dinner table. Drinking? Not something I want to give up but no more wine coma every night! Exercise? Every day brings something different, just the way I want it. <insert giant sigh of relief here>
I’ve never felt better and I credit Deb 100%. I absolutely could not have gotten here without her guidance and support.”
