You’re not lost.You’re in the hallway.
That place between what was and what’s next — where the old life no longer fits and the new one hasn’t fully shown itself yet.
I know this place.
I’ve lived it. Several times.
Before the blackout, there were other wake-up calls.
A deeply human, not-exactly-enlightened uncoupling. The slow, essential work of choosing myself again. The hard things we do when we know something has to change — even when we’re not ready to name it yet.
For twenty years, I was the woman who got things done. After September 11th, everything inside me had already shifted. I knew it. But I pushed it down, kept showing up, and held on for two more years — knowing I didn’t belong and still silencing my intuition.
We are very good at that, aren’t we?
Then August 2003 came.
A blackout took down the entire Northeast. I was in Jersey City — I know — looking across the Hudson River at the city that raised me.
When the lights went out across that skyline, I was done pushing through a life that no longer felt true. I grabbed my things and made a beeline for the stairway.
Someone called out, “Where are you going?”
It was the Chairman of the Board. He said, “We don’t even know what this is.”
I said, “I know. And I’m not waiting to find out. Be safe.”
I was told later that I got on the last ferry out that night. As we crossed the Hudson, I looked up at the skyline — the Towers were gone, the city was dark — and I started to weep.
And something in me finally stopped pretending.
That moment cracked something open. It’s why I do this work. Not because change happened overnight — real change rarely does. But because it was a turning point. The moment I stopped outsourcing my life and started asking the only question that mattered:
That question changed everything.
And it’s the question I bring into every room, every session, every retreat.
Because here’s what I’ve learned: real change doesn’t happen only in your mind.
In your energy.
In the quiet space where truth finally has room to rise.
That’s where real change lives.
Who I
Work With
I work with women who are done living around the edges of themselves.
Women who are capable, accomplished, and privately exhausted by how little of their actual life feels like theirs.
We work together one-on-one, in groups, and on retreat — using a blend of mindset coaching, energy work, guided meditation, and body-based practice to get underneath the story you’ve been living and find what’s actually true now.
This isn’t therapy.
It isn’t cheerleading.
It’s real, compassionate work for women ready to tell themselves the truth.

About Me
I am an Integrative Mindset Coach, Guided Meditation Specialist, NYS Certified Addiction Recovery Coach/Trainer, Reiki Master/Teacher in both Eastern and Western traditions, Retreat Leader, and Omega Institute Faculty Member.
Every certification has a story. Most of them are mine.
One led to the next, the way these things do. They weren’t a curriculum. They were a treasure map back to my own life.
For more than two decades, I’ve led retreats across the Northeast — including Long Island, the Hudson Valley, Vermont and Connecticut — creating spaces where women can pause, listen, release what no longer fits, and remember what is true.
I’m still in New York, but now I live in the Hudson Valley with my husband, Ed, whose steady love, quiet belief, and well-timed humor have carried me through every version of this work — and our dog Jack, who has opinions about everything.
Most mornings, you’ll find me with a cup of tea, my journal, and enough stillness to remember what matters.
That’s where the best ideas come from. Always has been.
If you recognize yourself somewhere in these words, I’d love to hear from you.
