Greetings!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. Please read on and get to know me.
Transition was part of my life at a very early age. The first major transition occurred when my family left Austria to migrate to Australia, sight unseen, and without knowing a word of the language. In 1980 I chose my second major transition when I moved to the United States to get married. In the ensuing years I have worked with hundreds of clients, each going through their own transition - career change, personal self development, sports performance improvement, retirement, freedom from fears and anxieties, improved nutrition and weight management.
With a B.Sc. in Psychology and a Doctor of Naturopathy degree, I combine the skills of a personal wellness advisor, educator and consultant to bring support, objectivity, structure and motivation to your desire for understanding your self-defeating behaviors and making changes. My goal is to inspire you to unleash your full potential, build a more positive self-image, better manage life stressors and gain a greater degree of contentment. My one-on-coaching focuses on partnering with you to identify your personal and professional goals and design an individualized program.
I am a member of the National Speakers’ Association and a Certified Facilitator of the Conflict Dynamics Profile® and The Passion Test™. My clients have included government agencies, law firms, non-profit organizations and associations.
I have spent my career encouraging people to "upgrade their inner human software"
In addition to lecturing and coaching, I have spent the last 10 years as a consultant to NASA Headquarters. During this time I benchmarked, designed and implemented a Work/Life Program, one of the first such programs in the Federal Government. I also implemented the first monthly newsletter offering employees tools, tips and techniques for more effectively handling the stresses in life.
As part of my commitment to spreading the important message of being proactive about improving one’s quality of life, I am the author of numerous articles for publications such as NASA’s Work/Life Navigator, Washington Woman, The Medical News, The Energy Club’s monthly newsletter and the newsletter of Australians in Washington Association.
My passion involves working with groups and individuals who wish to explore how change affects them and develop ways to cope and work creatively with change.
