Ignite Change Coaching

Specialties

As The Post-​Divorce Resilience Coach, I use my skills as a Certified & Accredited Coach, Usui Tibetan Reiki Master, Trained SoulCollage® Facilitator, Laughter Yoga Teacher, and Proprietor of an Airbnb to help women post-​divorce recover trust, health, and love again.

I have different packages, classes, and workshops as well.

I have been coaching women in transition since 2007.

My clients love the versatility of skills and tools and ways that I can work with them.

I know first hand the emotional highs and lows of starting over and moving beyond the past to get to a life that I loved to live.

I have been divorced twice and I am joyfully remarried for the third time to the partner of my dreams. I set an intention (after being single for 4 years), created a ceremony to cast a net, and he came in two days.

History

Established in 2008.

I started out offering Synergy of Creativity classes for men and women that utilized SoulCollage, Coaching, writing, and intuitive self-​reflection as a way to discover their next steps in their transitions.

Along «the way, I offered Relationship Coaching for women which became transition coaching.

I collaborated with a group of coaches and in 2009 we offered Optimisto! at the Kennedy school. I presented a workshop that was entitled «Sculpt a new relationship» that included group coaching and SoulCollage.

In 2010 I discovered Origami Collage books that created a new workshop called «Origami Wisdom». It is a small book that you can carry with you to remember what we sometimes forget. I have presented this at New Rennaisance, Taborspace, and my home studio.

And all through this coaching clients came for help with one form of relationship concerns or another.

I have lived in Portland since 1983 and I taught Childbirth Education and Parenting for my Midwifery clients.

I love Portland! A few of my favorite places are Mt. Tabor Park, The Thai Bistro, Vie De Bohemme, and the Tao of Tea on Belmont.

My favorite past-​times are with my family and grandkids; photography; journalling; being in the woods; kayaking on flat water; and exploring the wineries and backroads from Portland to Salem and beyond with Fred.

The quote that was a guidepost for me as a a young adult was by Helen Keller «Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.»

Now my quote for this time of life is the Quaker saying «Proceed as way opens»

Namaste ;)
