Hello, Beauty

Please allow me to introduce myself

No, I’m not Mick Jagger. However, as I wrote the subtitle, Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones popped into my head. (Apologies for the earworm)

Okay, back to me. 😁

Like you and other writers, I’ve worn several hats. The love of writing came early yet remained in the back of my crowded mind while naivete and rose-tinted glasses colored my circumstances, choices, consequences, jobs, and careers. But hey, that’s what gives us our stories.

Life would be one note, one color, boring without stories.

Six years ago, I made another choice and moved to Rochester, New York. It’s only an hour and thirty minutes from where I grew up in Niagara Falls, New York. After I left home at eighteen and ended up down South, I never thought I’d move back North.

Yet here I am.

The road I took to get here, from a shy Catholic girl to a women’s empowerment coach, includes detours, switchbacks, and waystations.

• Medical Lab Tech in the U.S. Army, Fort Belvoir, Virginia

• Moved in with a Vietnam Vet–(oh the lifetime of stories from this one decision)

• Served tables in a tiny Wisconsin town and left the medical field for beauty school (American Beauty College, Madison, WI)

• Stood behind the chair for over four decades in prestigious salons, helping people look good and feel great, and where I first used Beauty From The Inside Out as a tagline, (Janesville, Wisconsin; Alexandria, Virginia; and Savannah, Georgia)

• Enrolled in transformational life coach training and certification. (I now have multiple certifications to address all aspects of mind-body-spirit energy healing)

Life's emotional roller coaster ride provides tons of fodder for stories ranging from exuberant love, laughter, heartache, and anxiety to profound transformation during coach training and a second chance for love. (Hence the move back up North 😊)

You can read several of my heart-warming, often funny, and sometimes heart-wrenching life stories in my multi-award-winning, #1 bestselling book–

THE WOO WOO WAY, Unblock Your Chakras and Transform Your Life

The truth is–

I was living my own pretty little lie. (Thank you, Pretty Little Lies–HBO)

In public, I exuded a sense of fulfillment and happiness–a six-figure income, a handsome, successful husband, a country club membership, friends, and travel.

On the inside, however, I was a wreck in a codependent relationship, filled with anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and feeling STUCK. (Find out how I finally got unstuck in The Woo Woo Way.)

I could counsel my salon guests as they discussed their lives, vented their fears, and worked through problems. Yet, I couldn’t muster the core strength to help myself.

But enough about me. 😁

I’m here to support you on your path to shine your best life. My personal transformation journey to self-empowerment gave me the tools to help you clear the way.

I’m doing what I did as a salon professional–learning and honing my craft from the best of the best. Then, weaving techniques and processes into my unique approach to coaching.

First, I’m driven to share the potent mind-body tool EFT tapping. It saved my sanity during tumultuous times. Then, it led to in-depth coach training, where I discovered the girl I left behind at 20.

Tapping is an evidence-based and scientifically proven technique that helps us release limitations from negative experiences, emotions, and thoughts that hold us back from having the life we want.

In our world today, no one is immune to chronic stress. And many of us don’t realize its impact on our health and well-being.

This simple, safe technique turns off the fight-flight-freeze-fawn (people-pleasing) stress response. It is used for everything–stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma (VA-approved to treat veterans with PTSD), weight management, cravings, emotional eating, addictions, eliminating physical pain, performance anxiety, building confidence, prosperity, and attracting love.

If it’s bothersome, it’s a tappable issue.–Gary Craig.

My second focus is teaching you about the body’s invisible energy system, or as I call it, your “Emotional Guidance System.” Its chakras, shadows, and gifts enable us to harness empowerment and manifestation energies to achieve our goals and dreams.

Third, “The House of You”–the metaphor I use in The Woo Woo Way–is a virtual walkthrough of a house renovation demonstrating how the chakra system works in your body. Deep within you, packed among the negative things you don’t want to feel or see, are your deepest needs and desires–the very things you wish for today.

Beauty From The Inside Out focuses on regulating emotions and igniting your energy to become the most empowered version of you. And we can unpack the stuff you’ve carried for so long.

Fourth, let’s talk magic, miracles, and manifestation–intuition, Oracles, affirmations, and the true secret to making them work.

And fifth, a little wit and wisdom from behind the chair. (where I learned my best listening skills 🙂)

I see your light. I see your beauty.

Shine Brightly! 🌟
