BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I completed my training as a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) through the Academy for Coach Training in 2002. Following graduation, I established my business, Life Tapestry Coaching, Inc., and have been providing coaching services ever since. I have a holistic approach to working with challenging life issues. I facilitate positive change that empowers my clients to find balance and create a way to live their life with integrity through their core beliefs and values

Prior to working as a wellness coach, I had a career as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for 8 years. I provided direct counseling and assessment services as part of a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team in a hospital setting. I managed a personal caseload and provided services to a variety of hospital programs including inpatient, outpatient, Brain Injury Day Treatment, Work Hardening and Pain Management. I facilitated both individual and group counseling sessions to assist patients in identifying the tools and resources needed to help them take action and move forward.

Additional educational background includes a B.S. in Business Administration through the University of Minnesota, School of Management (1982) and an M.S. in Rehabilitation Psychology through the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1989). I have also completed teacher training programs with certified Iyengar Yoga instructors Julie Lawrence, Dean Lerner, Rebecca Lerner, and Mary Dunn and have taken many workshops with other nationally and internationally recognized teachers. I am currently teaching yoga in the Portland, OR area.
