A Little Bit About Me and Coaching

I live, work and play in the woods of Northern Ontario and Northern Michigan. Every day I'm inspired by my surroundings. Especially the creek that flows through my backyard. 


I know the power of letting it flow.

People describe me as pretty high energy. But I know how to be lazy down to my core.  Like an old hound dog, when there's something worth chasing, I'm hot on it! And when there's nothing to do, I do nothing very well.
 
 



















Speaking of dogs, I've got two. Both labs. Jersey is the chocolate and Styx is the black. They too inspire me.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I am a graduate of Coach University and a Certified Professional Mentor coach. I'm  a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and an ICF Master Certified Coach. I'm  also a founding member of Coachville, the worlds largest coach training organization, and a founding member of The International Association of Coaches. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Business Education and a Masters Degree in Career and Technical Education. In March of 1996, I began my coaching business, Portage. I have attracted an international clientele of leaders, high achievers, entrepreneurs, coaches and visionaries. I maintain a practice of approximately 24 clients.

I am extraordinarily intuitive. Passionate about all things wild, I spend as much time as possible getting to know myself better and testing my limits in the wilderness. I give Mother Nature credit for being my first coach. So my coaching style is to guide you toward your own truth using compassion and fun. In addition to my regular phone-coaching sessions, I combine my intuitive abilities and my passion for nature to offer Wilderness Adventure Coaching. 

I believe your transition must be driven by a value that reflects the core of who you are. When you get to the who, the what and how happen naturally. Once you've defined the goal or outcome, hold it very, very lightly and focus on the process instead. Gratitude for the process may take you down a path you can't yet envision and leave you much more open to the insights that will come your way. Intuition is blocked when we practice either/or thinking. Surprises and insights will perhaps move you away from the original goal but can lead you to something much, much better.

We all can dramatically simplify our lives. Many clients come to me wanting to do something, in order to have something, in order to be somebody. I say, be somebody first and the doing and having are natural outcomes. The more you discover the truth about who you are, the more you'll get what you want.
