Foreign Service life can be complicated. A personal coach can help you create your best approach. It could be sorting out your priorities, finding a better outlook on your situation, undertaking an action that moves you forward to your dream.

I am a foreign service spouse veteran, and understand the foreign service lifestyle. Now as a certified personal Foreign Service Life Coach, I can help you make meaningful personal changes that can reduce stress and simplify your life.

I have an extensive background with FLO, OBC, AAFSW and the other service organizations. I can help you find the resources you need and give a welcome voice at the other side of a conversation. I coach in person, by email, SKYPE and by phone. My purpose is to help you find meaning and ways to thrive in your global transitions.  You're worth every bit of attention you receive!
