Vignettes of a Woman

I write because I believe our shared stories help us to connect to our own truth. When one woman shares her story, we all heal. So I get raw and vulnerable about the challenges of being a woman leader. I write about business, chronic illness, loss, grief, mid-life, my mother, my daughter, how I heal, how I connect, and the wisdom I find in my wounds. I write so you can feel less alone on your journey.

Two years ago this month, my husband and I were preparing to put our little Pleasant Hill home on the market. I lived in the Bay Area for most of my 41 years. I was born and raised in Walnut Creek. I went away for college and adventures and travel, but I always had a […]

It’s time to slow down and retreat…

Trusting that there is something larger than all of us guiding our souls to evolution and opening […]

I disappointed her. Then this happened…

As we move into September and the end of the summer, my body remembers last Fall, and a hard decision I had to make regarding The Practice. Probably one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. I had 60 women lined up ready to start their next 10-week program with me. These included […]

Do you give and give until there is nothing left?

We martyr ourselves when we give and give until there is nothing left. My son started junior high school today, and as I left him at the curb and watched him disappear into a sea of kids he didn’t know, I couldn’t help but cry a little bit. I thought of my own mother, and […]

I've led thousands of women back to themselves and to a truer life. As a business owner and mother of two teenagers, I know what it’s like to hold the weight of multiple worlds, and how easy it is to abandon yourself in the overwhelm.

Through my own transformation and 20 years of working closely with women, I developed The Practice®, a feminine spiritual system that teaches women leaders how to reclaim their lives and live without self-sacrifice.

Sanctuary Sunday

Sanctuary Sunday is a sacred touch point where we come together as women and remember our truth. We get quiet, dive underneath the noise and chaos, and listen to our own voice. We refuel and reclaim our lives through deep guided meditation, journaling, and connection. We gain inspiration to step more fully into who we truly are.
