Welcome.
If you’d like to speak with courage, listen with deep presence and bring more love to your life and work, you’re in the right place.
As a teacher, writer, consultant, and therapist, I am dedicated to serving our collective well-being by providing healing, personal transformation, training and leadership development to the seekers, journeyers and change agents of our times.
In an increasingly global, connected and conflict-ridden world, our work and person relationships (both work and personal) are undergoing complex cultural shifts. Many of us need new tools and resources to help us navigate the important paradigm shifts of our time.
If you feel an inner drive to make a radical, transformative shift in your personal or professional life, to challenge the status quo – whether it’s breaking the rules of a dysfunctional family, your internalized habits and worldviews, or a dysfunctional work culture – and you want to do it proactively, courageously and compassionately, then I’d love to help.
My work (and this site) is devoted to sharing information, insights, tools and resources that will help you to speak and listen from your hearts and to live and work with more empowerment, internal freedom and love.
You can learn more about my work through my videos on YouTube, the posts on my blog, or by signing up for my on-demand, online communication and relationship course, Building Better Relationships.
Last Spring, Resmaa Menakem and I discussed anger with MPR host Marianne Combs — what it is, where it comes from, and when it can be used for good. We discussed why some people are judged more harshly for displaying their anger than others, and some deep body-based ways of working more effectively with anger.
Please enjoy browsing around and do reach out if I can be of service.

Feeling it Fixes it
Although we often want to move away from unpleasant feelings to avoid them, remember that often simply feeling it, fixes it. Situation One: As elevator doors were closing, I glimpsed a young child, maybe three years old, run towards the door to get in. The doors shut on her fingers. Hurrying and repeatedly pressing the […]
Emotional Strength Training
What do you do when your feelings get hurt? Well, let me tell you what didn’t work for me recently, and what did. Building emotional strength takes intentionality and practice. When I discovered that someone who once played a pivotal role in my life excluded me from something important (sorry to be so vague: protecting the […]
Connecting to Deeper Needs
We often think we know what we want, but don’t. Connecting to deeper needs in any given situation can be game-changing. Recently, I asked my 15-year old daughter to help me take some photos for a project; I needed at least two people to make it work. I planned the time, set the date, reminded […]
Speak or Stay Silent?
When should we say something? It’s not always easy to know when to speak up for something you believe in, and when it might be wiser to remain silent. Recently I took my daughter “home” to visit the Egyptian side of her family, in Egypt. Upwards of 30 extended family members and friends gathered in […]
