I am a certified Life Coach Consultant whose passion and service is to help others improve their lives and reach their goals. My goal is to assist you in your self-discovery and in creating a blueprint for your life. My coaching techniques aim to help adolescents and adults improve self-esteem, gain self-confidence and master the art of goal setting. Each session is designed to be collaborative, conversational, and solution/action-oriented. By utilizing positive psychology techniques, I work to help my clients build on existing strengths and develop new skills.

As a part of my exceptional adult coaching service I can assist you through life transitions, evolving into leadership roles, relationship issues, and health and fitness. The choice to collaborate with a Life Coach is a decision to move forward with a new perspective for a balanced and improved life.

Most people who meet me for the first time will know immediately that I was born to dance, born to move. My motto in life is: Living life and loving It!” My goal and mission in life is to assist both the young and young at heart the art of dancing through creative and invigorating classes. Movement is essential for happiness and well-being, and when the benefits of dance are understood, the results will immediately show in your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual life.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Dance and a minor in Education.  I had the honor of dancing professionally with Alex Spitzer, a small Modern Dance Company in Atlanta, as well as performances with small ensembles for plays and other presentations.  My emphasis is Modern Dance, Interpretive Movement, and Contemporary genre. I am currently involved with dancing (including performing) and sharing/teaching different performed choreography to women, men, and combined groups, of seniors at one of the Senior Centers in Clayton County.

I am a dancer at heart and dancing is filled with my fondest childhood memories.  I am a choreographer, demonstrator lecturer and instructor.  My soul yearns and ever envelopes me in constant thoughts of movement.  I must move and create and share my Gift with my fellow human beings – and I must do this now!
