She loves to work with individuals who want to kick-start their lives, to create the life they want now and to stop waiting for that someday when “a magical event will occur that will then allow them to pursue what they want!” Reminding clients, there is no “someday” on the calendar, she adopted the tagline, “What are you waiting for?” She has a Bachelor of Education from McGill University and is a graduate of Coach U. Having been self-employed most of her adult life has allowed her the freedom to have a career on her own terms as well as work around the needs of her younger son with special needs. She spent 18 years in the direct selling industry not only selling products but building, training and coaching her teams to success. As rewarding as reaching her personal success goals were, she eventually realized how much more enjoyment and personal satisfaction she derived from seeing her team members grow and succeed. It was then that she decided to pursue coaching as a career.

She lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with her husband of almost 30 years, two grown sons, and two small dogs -- also male! She enjoys Toastmasters, cooking, reading, golf, spa visits and those "girls' nights out."
