living RECENTERED…
It means feeling a sense of purpose and balance in your life.
It means evaluating your systems to create intentionality that align with your values.
It means making deliberate choices and conscience changes that allow you to feel like your daily activities matter.
It’s feeling less scattered, leaving the hamster wheel and busy-for-the-sake-of-busy behind.
If this resonates with you then let’s talk!

When we feel that others understand us—our triumphs, our challenges, our day-to-day—we are able to thrive. I start by listening to understand. As an educator myself, I have experienced the life of an educator—as a teacher, a teacher leader, and as a high level administrator. I come to sessions with an open heart and compassion for what my clients are experiencing. My clients feel like I relate to them and as a result of that connection, they feel comfortable working with me.
