Phoenix Rising Thursday, January 7, 2021

I began my working life as a lawyer in the province of Ontario, Canada. I practiced insurance defense litigation for eight years, became a mediator and eventually a Deputy Judge in the Small Claims Court of Ontario. Unbridled stress for fifteen years catalyzed me to reclaim my own life. With the tools I used to heal myself, I have built a speaking, coaching, writing and mentoring practice that benefits professionals (mostly lawyers), business owners, entrepreneurs, athletes, and performers. I mentored students in high schools on creating careers that are fulfilling and successful, which led me to write my book called “Showing Up: Becoming The Me I Want To Be - Aligning Your Life and Work for True Success.” I developed and coached The Mental Edge in Sports Performance, a program for athletes, from minor sports to professional levels. I am a Certified Trainer with The HeartMath Institute and well versed in training and speaking about stress, resilience, and heart coherence. My mission in life is to bring love, light, happiness, and peace to the world, by helping others to connect with their inner power. Having been a speaker and student of life for over twenty years, as well as a litigation specialist (worked in the courtroom), judge and mediator, I am well qualified to speak, present and think on my feet. I promise to inspire and model that success is not about what you are doing, but by what you become by embracing Empowerment, Resilience and Passion. Who are you becoming?
