About Me

For many years I earned my living and supported my family by doing physically demanding work in solar, construction, woodworking, and maintenance. For 5 of those years I was self employed and often worked myself to the bone trying to keep up with all the demands and deadlines, occasionally working all through the night to finish a project. And at the end of each job I just barely covered my expenses and never made a profit. I was burning through all my reserves of energy, health, savings, and resolve, going nowhere except into debt and an early grave. Sometimes though, sprinkled throughout that time, people would come to me in their hour of need, in life distress, in tears. I would stop my work and spend an hour or two helping them, talking with them, counseling them. I felt so very alive in those moments, like that was the real reason I came in to work that day, just so I could be there for that person who really needed me, not to fix their deck or build them a cabinet, but to tend to their heart, to carefully guide them through stormy emotional waters to a safe harbor of grounded empowerment. I didn’t have formal training in this per se, just my own life experience of personal development, a naturally sensitive energy field and a desire to be of service and really connect with others in a deep way.

At some point along the way I learned about my human design and how I was creating so much resistance for myself by living from my conditioning, the “not-self”, instead of my design, the natural blueprint for how to manage my energy and make decisions that are aligned with my true nature and higher purpose. I had been living in ways I thought I should be, but not in ways that were actually good for me or true to me. I pushed through when I didn’t actually have the energy to (and paid for it later). I often acted with a stressed urgency that was out of sync with my own personal right timing. I held on to relationships, jobs, and situations that weren’t good for me. I wasted my mental time and energy thinking about things that didn’t actually matter for my life. Amidst all of that inefficiency and noise I couldn’t make good decisions for my life. I would try to rely on my analytical mind and really my emotional highs and lows were leading me through life ever-circling on an erratic hamster wheel because I didn’t know how to listen to my own inner guidance system.

After I worked myself sick for the second time in as many months one winter and had to take another week off to rest and recover I finally realized that my path to success was to deliberately embrace and embody my own design and change the habituated life habits of my conditioned self.​​ Step by step I reprogrammed my ways of thought and action to be more in alignment with my unique design and as I did so I got into a better balance in my life. The more I trusted my inner authority in making decisions the more ease and synchronicity I experienced. Things, people, opportunities, and situations showed up for me in the right timing and in better ways than I could have imagined. Instead of trying to force my life into some externally fueled idea of how it should be, I allowed it to unfold naturally out of me. I followed my inner compass, leveraged my natural strengths, and had compassion and acceptance for parts of me I used to keep in shadow, and through that got to joyfully discover how much better it could really be than the limiting vision I had been holding for my life. Once the new momentum got going it became easier and easier to keep it going in a positive direction. Now I have so much more vitality, a sense of purpose being fulfilled, all of me being expressed and celebrated into this life. And that is the gift I want to help you to have as well.
