Bio

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives.

I deliver…

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I graduated from Hope College, not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. Got married and had kids right after graduating. I flitted from being a newspaper reporter and published magazine article writer, to a web designer to a graphic designer before I discovered what I was meant to do in 2002. My years as a graphic designer were pressure-filled with tight deadlines and perfectionism. I researched all I could to keep myself sane. When that job ended, I became a certified Family Manager Coach and took many other courses and seminars. Now I educate others on simplifying their lives.

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.

In Feb 2011 my 18 year old son was killed. I have learned first hand what is important. I can see clearly and help you see clearly.

When I’m not coaching, writing and parenting my daughter, I love to scrapbook, hang out at Lake Michigan or anywhere outdoors, sing, and read. I’ve also taken to riding with my husband on his motorcycle, scary at first but now I love it!

I’m active in my church and mentor a student through Kid’s Hope. If you want to become a client, sign up for a free session and see if we are compatible. I am an encouraging and sensitive coach, rather that a go, go, go pressure coach. I know change is hard and I want to make it as easy as possible.
