CREATIVITY COACHING:  Feeling stuck? Needing a boost of inspiration but don't
know where to turn?  Is there an artist or writer inside just aching to get out? Let
me assist you in reclaiming your creative self through coaching, discussion and
assignments.

Parenting Coaching:  Do you want to learn more about gentle and mindful
parenting? Are you frustrated by issues that arise in your family and desire more
tools for peaceful interactions?  Have you lost the joy of parenting?  Let's talk.
Sometimes we need a new perspective, new ideas or a sympathetic parent to share
with. You're not alone.

Fees begin at $25 per session. Feel free to write and inquire about what you need
and I'll email you a personal quote depending on need and involvement. All quotes are
complimentary. I utilize both email and phone conversations as needed.


Please use the "contact us" page to discuss these options. I look forward to hearing
from you.
